Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Kraken Full time

Help us use technology to make a big green dent in the universe

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.

About Our Data Platform Team

At Kraken we've developed a data platform that is used by Octopus Energy and our other clients retail energy businesses around the world. The platform empowers users with self-service data analytics and automates our data processing workflows, from simple ETL jobs to ML training and prediction.

The data platform team works across the whole customer domain on anything from natural language understanding of our customer communications to processing billions of smart meter readings every day to support clients in creating customised and market leading smart energy tariffs.

As the volume, scope and geographical range of our data offerings rapidly expand, we're looking for an experienced data engineer to join the team to help us build and maintain our platform, pipelines and data sources.

We're passionate about building great technology to change the way customers use, and think about, energy for the good of the planet. This is a fantastic opportunity to work with us on data problems that genuinely move us closer to Net Zero, and support the energy transition.

What You'll Do

  • Build the platform used by Analytics Engineers to transform raw data into insight for the rest of the business - dbt is a powerful tool and we've built our own wrapper around it to maximise its effectiveness at Kraken
  • Investigate and implement new tooling where appropriate, whether it's developed in-house or sourced externally
  • Maintain and build on our existing data infrastructure and tools.
  • Consult the wider business on Analytics Engineering best practices and stay up to date with trends within the profession
  • Support the internationalisation of our data infrastructure as we continue to grow globally.
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:
  • Python
  • SQL
  • DBT
  • Experience deploying data services in a cloud environment (ideally AWS)
  • Experience in infrastructure as code - Terraform / Spacelift
  • Experience with monitoring and optimising developer productivity using tools like Sentry
  • 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.
If this sounds like you then we'd love to hear from you.

Studies have shown that some groups of people, like women, are less likely to apply to a role unless they meet 100% of the job requirements. Whoever you are, if you like one of our jobs, we encourage you to apply as you might just be the candidate we hire. Across Octopus, we're looking for genuinely decent people who are honest and empathetic. Our people are our strongest asset and the unique skills and perspectives people bring to the team are the driving force of our success. As an equal opportunity employer, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected attribute. Our commitment is to provide equal opportunities, an inclusive work environment, and fairness for everyone.Seniority level
