Description
Help us use technology to make a big green dent in the universe!

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.

It’s a really exciting time in energy. Help us make a real impact on shaping a better, more sustainable future.


Kraken Customer

What we do: Build the most AI-driven, innovative, forward-thinking platform for energy management. From optimizing 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.

Our team
All technology is written and maintained by a multi-discipline engineering team of around 500 people globally. Our engineers work in ‘super teams’ which are focused on key domains of our platform as well as other innovative products. This also includes server-side, client-side and mobile engineers working closely with UX experts, copywriters and designers. 
 
Teams are empowered to choose a way of working that works for them, often opting for a Kanban-like approach. Notion and Asana are then used to specify and manage work; Github, CircleCI and Terraform Enterprise as part of an immutable-infrastructure, continuous delivery pipeline; and Datadog, Sentry and Cloudwatch to measure performance and monitor production. 
 
Some of our coding conventions are open-source . 
 
Kraken is a great place to learn, work with talented engineers and have a lot of fun.

What you'll do
You’ll be a core contributor to the KrakenFlow workflow management experience, delighting users with powerful features around our drag-n-drop workflow builder, form builder, as well as management & analytics pages that are part of the user-facing platform.

You’ll love this role if you’re excited about coding a lot, in close collaboration with your highly experienced peers as part of a truly global team. You’ll ensure clean software design, choice of right technologies, and participate in building an application to very high standards that is designed for tremendous global impact.

As the team will grow, you’ll onboard other team members, ensure good documentation, clean code and contribute to establishing a great developer experience.

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 energy market towards a lower carbon future.

  • Writing robust and fault-tolerant software: You can write robust and fault-tolerant software that runs smoothly and reliably even under adverse conditions.
  • Celery and async processing: You have gained experience with Celery and asynchronous processing to efficiently handle tasks in the background and optimize backend performance.
