Help us make a big green dent in the universe. We're on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution, and we need loads more people to help us make our vision a reality.

Kraken Technologies is a company within Octopus Energy Group who are licensing the Kraken platform and operating model to clients across the world to transform the energy market.

Members of the Kraken Tech team need to be shining examples of the Octopus Way and believe in decision making based on simplicity, customer benefit, and efficiency. We are excited about how Kraken can change the lives of customers and operations teams in other companies and convinced that Kraken is the best answer, not only for companies, but as a tool to tackle the climate crisis.

We are fundamentally changing the way that energy companies work. We put customer happiness and cost competitiveness first with great people, technology and ways of working.

We are looking for a strong technical frontend engineer that can help build our communications products within Kraken. You will help us to solve complex problems with great products that make it easy for our clients to communicate to their customers through various channels: email, telephone, text messaging, WhatsApp, LINE, and others.

Our ideal candidate is an individual who is passionate about everything frontend, equipped with a growth mindset, empathy for people around them and excited to solve software challenges that can affect millions of people’s experience when interacting with our ecosystem. As a frontend engineer you will contribute alongside others in a global team, contributing to the design and implementation of features, reviewing fellow engineers code to ensure what we push is safe and high quality. We operate with a high velocity and it is normal to stumble. The way we combat this is by embracing helping out each other with pair programming or other rubber duck activities.

Within the comms team we operate several products and while you will initially be assigned to work on one, we embrace agility and your scope will gradually expand to working and helping out other products as well.

We’re at the forefront of innovation in the energy industry and we have succeeded because of our people. Those people are:
