Our mission is to bring cheaper, green power to customers and shake up the market in France

We’re a leading energy technology company, resulting from the acquisition of the French supplier Plüm énergie, soon to become Octopus Energy France. We're providing a better experience for our customers through transparency, honesty and simplicity. We want to do better for the planet, through real long-term investment in renewable generation and a low CO2 future and better for our customer’s wallets with fair and affordable plans. We're revolutionizing what's possible in energy, through our proprietary platform and custom-built stack, cloud-based billing and sophisticated use of data science. We are relentlessly focused on customer satisfaction and cherish the reward of receiving tremendous reviews from our customers- we have the highest score among French energy providers on Google Reviews (4.8/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️).

ROLE OVERVIEW

We’re looking for an experienced data engineer to join our central data team and support our team in France.

At Octopus we’ve developed a data platform that provides services to all parts of our business in the UK and around the world. The platform enables self-service of data analytics to hundreds of data hungry users as well as automation of all our data workflows from simple data transformation jobs to ML training and prediction.

In this role you’ll be responsible for building and maintaining new data pipelines and data applications to enable the generation team to develop, manage and optimise their renewable assets effectively. You’ll work with data analysts and scientists as well as tech, finance, asset management and investment teams to solve their data challenges.

As part of the wider data platform team you’ll contribute to the development of our cloud data platform with the support of a team of highly skilled data professionals. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on data problems that genuinely move us closer to Net Zero with a company that is passionate about building great technology to change the way we generate and use energy.

We would prefer someone who can work in our Paris office. You will need to be able to work in France without a VISA though. Above all, we’re looking for someone who thrives on providing alternative opinions, challenging those around them and being challenged.

What You'll do

Build and maintain data pipelines that deliver key data and insights to the business

Integrate new data sources into the data platform through APIs or bulk data transfer

Work closely with the data science and analytics teams to maintain and develop our central data models in dbt

Build and maintain testing and documentation frameworks for our data sources

Work with the business to scope and deliver new data engineering projects and requirements

Maintain and build on our existing data infrastructure and tools

Support the internationalisation of our data infrastructure as we continue to grow globally

Our Data Platform Stack

Python as our main programming language

Airflow purely for job scheduling and tracking

Circle CI for continuous deployment

Parquet and Delta file formats on S3 for data lake storage

Spark for data processing

dbt for data modelling

Presto and Spark

SQL for analytics

Streamlit for data applications

What You'll have

First and foremost, we want our data engineers to be great software engineers with a passion for writing high quality code

It would be helpful to have experience/expertise in the following (in rough priority order):

Python / SparkSQL

Experience modelling data for analytics - ideally experience using dbt as a modelling tool

Experience in assuring data quality

Experience deploying data services in a cloud environment (ideally AWS)

The projects will be varied and we’re looking for someone who can work autonomously and proactively to scope problems and solve and deliver pragmatic solutions
