Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Octopus Energy Full time

We are a technology company focused on creating a smart, sustainable energy system. Our operating system for energy is transforming the industry around the world in a way that benefits everyone.

About Us

Octopus Energy is one of the largest investors in solar generation in the UK and is funding wind and anaerobic digestion. We're helping people to use greener technology and renewable energy, all helping move the world towards a lower carbon future.

Job Description

You will be working in a multi-disciplinary software engineering team; solving design challenges; domain modeling; solving technical problems; engineering solutions for smart meters, 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 The energy market is complicated, outdated, and process-heavy - there's an awful lot of domain modeling that we need to get right.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. There's a great opportunity for disruption in the energy market. The big suppliers still dominate but are not exactly popular. The energy landscape is changing as we move to more disaggregated forms of generation, with less predictability, more dynamism, and smarter technology.

You'll be working for a company that's fighting climate change. As a supplier, we're helping people to use greener technology and renewable energy, all helping move the world towards a lower carbon future.

Required Skills and Qualifications
  • Python
  • Django (or equiv. web framework)
  • Domain modelling
  • HTTP and REST APIs
  • Writing robust and fault-tolerant software
  • Celery and async processing

AWS experience would be a bonus. So would Terraform, Packer, Consul and React and Redux experience.

Benefits
  • $120,000 per year salary
  • Flexible working environment
  • Equity Options Scheme
  • Office with drinks, snacks and coffee machine
  • Development support including internal and external courses

We want your hard work to be rewarded with perks you actually care about. You'll be part of a company where people learn, decide, and build quicker. Where people work with autonomy, alongside a wide range of amazing co-owners, on projects that break new ground.
