Melbourne, Australia Octopus Energy Full time

**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 peopleto help us make our vision a reality.

**Our team**

All technology is written and maintained by a multi-discipline engineering team of around 200 people. This includes server-side, client-side and mobile engineers working closely with UX experts, copywriters and designers.

We follow a Kanban-like approach, using Google docs and Asana to specify and manage work; Github, CircleCI and Terraform Enterprise as part of an immutable-infrastructure, continuous delivery pipeline; and Loggly, Sentry and Cloudwatch to measure performance and monitor production.

Some of our coding conventions are open-source.

Octopus is a great place to learn, work with some talented engineers and level-up your skills.

**Our technology**

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, employing most of the "Hashistack" (eg Packer, Consul, Terraform) as part of a continuous deployment pipeline.

See, for example, Django, ELB health checks and continuous delivery.

Client-side, we use React, Redux and SASS; our mobile apps are built using native code or React Native.

**What you'll do...**
- You will be working in a multi-disciplinary software engineering team; solving design challenges; domain modeling; solving technical problems; engineering solutions for smart meters, data feeding & predictive modeling; writing robust fault-tolerant software primarily in Python and Django, Celery, and async processing
- We have lots of difficult design challenges to solve. The energy market is complicated, outdated, and process-heavy - there's an awful lot of domain modeling that we need to get right. Strong attention to detail is essential.
- We have difficult technical problems to solve. With the advent of smart meters, we'll soon be processing millions of meter readings a day. We need the right technology in place to handle this smoothly as well as feed data into a machine-learning pipeline that models and predicts consumption.
- You'll be working for a company that’s fighting climate change. Our parent company is the largest investor in solar generation in the UK and is funding wind and anaerobic digestion. As a supplier, we're helping people to use greener technology and renewable energy, all helping move the world towards a lower carbon future.

**What you'll have...**
- We're looking for someone with a general interest in technology and problem-solving; someone diligent and thoughtful. It would be helpful to have experience/expertise in the following (in rough priority order):

- Python
- Django (or equivalent web framework)
- Domain modeling
- HTTP and REST APIs
- Writing robust and fault-tolerant software
- Celery and async processing
- Postgres

Plus experience in the following would be a bonus:

- AWS
- Terraform, Packer, Consul
- React and Redux

**Salary**: $98,033.22 - $225,459.37 per year

**Benefits**:

- Profit sharing
- Salary packaging
- Unlimited annual leave
- Work from home

Schedule:

- 8 hour shift

Ability to commute/relocate:

- Melbourne VIC: Reliably commute or planning to relocate before starting work (required)
