    Apply for this job
    Kraken powers some of the most innovative global developments in energy.
    We're a technology company focused on creating a smart, sustainable energy system. From optimising renewable generation, creating a more intelligent grid and enabling utilities to provide excellent customer experiences, our operating system for energy is transforming the industry around the world in a way that benefits everyone.
    It's a really exciting time in energy. Help us make a real impact on shaping a better, more sustainable future.
    Our team
    All technology is written and maintained by a multi-discipline engineering team of around 800 people globally. Our engineers work in 'super teams' which are focused on key areas of our platform as well as other innovative products. This also includes server-side, client-side and mobile engineers working closely with UX experts, copywriters and designers.
    Teams are empowered to choose a way of working that works for them, often opting for a Kanban-like approach. Notion and Asana are then used to specify and manage work; Github, CircleCI and Terraform Enterprise as part of an immutable-infrastructure, continuous delivery pipeline; and Datadog, Sentry and Cloudwatch to measure performance and monitor production.
    We're Charging Kraken to power utilities beyond energy (think water, broadband,..) and have created a new business Kraken Utilities. As the business gains momentum and clients, we are continuing to grow the engineering team. You will help us build and scale the team, implement a good culture and work on some really exciting tech challenges.
    You'll be joining a small frontend function (3 engineers) within the utilities team - with close support and collaboration from the wider Kraken team. As an early tech hire into this team you will have a huge opportunity to impact decision making and grow into leadership roles as the business scales.
    Together with the rest of the team, you will bring the same revolutionary customer experience, operational excellence and speed of innovation that Kraken is powering across energy retailers to other sectors.
    Some of our coding conventions are open-source .
    Kraken is a great place to learn, work with some talented engineers and level-up your skills.
    Our technology
    Client-side, we use React, htmx and SASS; our mobile apps are built using native code or React Native.
    On the server-side, we mainly use Python. Most of our websites are powered by Django, Django-REST-framework and GraphQL (Graphene).
    We use AWS heavily as part of a continuous deployment pipeline. See, for example, Django, ELB health checks and continuous delivery.

    We would prefer someone who can work in our London office 1-2 days a week. You do need to be able to work in the UK.
    We're very excited to be growing our team. We're looking for skills and experience to help shape and define the future of not only our team, but the wider business at a global scale. If you're reading this and grinning, please apply! There are huge challenges to tackle, and we need amazing people who are keen to get stuck in.
    If this sounds like you then we'd love to hear from you.
    Are you ready for a career with us? We want to ensure you have all the tools and environment you need to unleash your potential. Need any specific accommodations? Whether you require specific accommodations or have a unique preference, let us know, and we'll do what we can to customise your interview process for comfort and maximum magic!
