Overview
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.
What we do
Build the most AI-driven, innovative, forward‑thinking platform for energy management. From optimising resources to delivering cost‑effective, exceptional customer experiences through advanced Customer Information Systems (CIS), billing, meter data management, CRM, and AI‑driven communications, Kraken is powering the next wave of innovation in the energy industry.
Why we do it
Future energy will not look like energy as we know it today. We need to not just think about our future, but build for it. Now.
What you’ll do
* We have lots of difficult design challenges to solve. The UK utilities market is complicated, outdated and process‑heavy – there's an awful lot of domain modelling that we need to get right. Strong attention to detail is essential.
* We have challenging technical problems to solve; like processing tens of millions of meter readings a day. We need the right technology in place to handle this smoothly as well as feeding data into a machine learning pipeline that models and predicts consumption. Or thinking about how we adapt Kraken to improve other utilities like water and broadband.
* There's a great opportunity for disruption in the UK energy market. The big suppliers still dominate, but are not exactly popular. The energy landscape is changing as we move to more dis‑aggregated forms of generation, with less predictability, more dynamism and smarter technology.
* You’ll be working for a company that’s fighting climate change. Our generation arm 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 UK towards a lower carbon future.
What you’ll need
* 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
* 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
Nice to have
If you can speak Danish that would be beneficial for the role but not mandatory.
Why else you’ll love it
* Wondering what the salary for this role is? Just ask us! On a call with one of our recruiters it's something we always cover as we genuinely want to match your experience with the correct salary. The reason why we don't advertise is because we honestly have a degree of flexibility and would never want salary to be a reason why someone doesn't apply to Kraken – what's more important to us is finding the right Kraken‑fit!
* Kraken has an unique culture. An organisation 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. We want your hard work to be rewarded with perks you actually care about! Our Group CEO, Greg has recorded an episode about our culture and how we empower our people.
