About the Job

We believe energy should be better - for you and the environment.

We’re a leading energy technology (EnTech) company, providing a better experience for our customers through transparency, honesty and simplicity. Better for the planet, through real long-term investment in renewable generation and a low CO2 future. We make energy green and flexible for consumers, with fair and transparent pricing.

We're on a mission to make energy greener, fairer, and genuinely better for people. Our global energy revolution is backed by Generation, the sustainable fund co-chaired by Al Gore. To succeed with this mission, we need excellent technical people who want to use their skills on the biggest challenge the planet is facing.

We’re proud to be Europe's best-funded green tech start-up, and one of Glassdoor's Best Places to Work. We’re also the most awarded energy supplier in the UK, and have been Which? Recommended eight years in a row.

What will you be doing?

Octopus Energy Engineering is responsible for the sites, services, and tariffs that are used by the millions of Octopus Energy customers worldwide. From building the latest, cutting-edge time-of-use tariffs, to helping customers actually enjoy tasks like providing meter readings through our wheel of fortune - and everything in between.

You’ll find a wide variety of challenges in the work we do as we help push the energy revolution forward. Our teams are multi-disciplined and collaborate between countries, meaning you have what you need to get the right people together and build the next great thing.

We are looking for a Backend Engineer II to join our Global Onboarding team at OE Engineering.

The Global Onboarding team are set up to work on the highest priority projects within the

onboarding space, globally. The idea of the team is to unblock and rapidly build out important sites around the world, whilst encouraging efficiency through collaboration and code sharing.

Recently that meant taking over the area of Low Carbon Technology. We're currently working hard to develop our sites selling heat pumps, EV chargers and solar panels to create a better customer experience, automate as much as possible, and to set ourselves up for rapid growth in the UK. We're building up a strong core framework that we can use around the world, and harnessing external tech such as Shopify where possible to increase efficiency further.

We embrace flat hierarchies and an open, agile culture that fosters innovation, flexibility, and creativity.

We don’t hang our personalities up with our coats and nor should you. At Octopus, we hire great people who get stuff done, all whilst being themselves.

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 equiv. web framework)
Domain modelling
GraphQL
Writing robust and fault-tolerant software
Celery and async processing
Postgres

Plus experience in the following would be a bonus:

AWS
React and Redux
