Description
At Octopus Energy Trading, we’re on a mission to reshape the future of energy. As part of Octopus Energy Group, we’re creating an innovative approach to trading that will accelerate the transition to a Net Zero world. With the growth of renewables and a push toward decarbonising heating and transport, greater flexibility in the grid is essential. We are building cutting-edge technology to optimise everything, from domestic EV charging to grid-scale batteries, to meet the global demand for energy flexibility.
We’re looking for passionate and unconventional thinkers to join us on this journey, bringing a diversity of experience and ideas to shape a more efficient, flexible, and sustainable energy system.
With an increase in variable and distributed supply, using data for trading and forecasting has never been more important. Octopus has always had a tech-first approach, and our trading and analytics tools are all built in-house by specialised domain teams, focussed on areas like grid-scale batteries or market fundamentals, all building on a common platform that is managed by our core engineering team.
We are seeking a software engineer to join the core engineering team and help own the developer experience. You will be responsible for designing the frameworks and tooling that allow our domain teams to develop, ship, and manage event-driven microservices with zero overhead, as well as building and maintaining core microservices that can be re-used by domain teams.
Please note, this role is a minimum of 2-3 days a week from our London office - but you’d be welcome in more frequently if you’d like to!
