Job 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.


KrakenFlex


The energy industry is undergoing the largest transformation since industrialisation at an unprecedented rate of change and we are positioning ourselves to be at the heart of that change.


Our aim is to be the leading global provider of solutions that enable customers to release £30bn of value per annum from distributed energy resources (DERs). We are building a Software as a Service (SaaS) subscription business with a global addressable market of £2.4 billion per annum, by digitally connecting hundreds of thousands of DERs with energy markets.


We have already attained a market leading position and KrakenFlex is a recognised thought leader and innovator in the industry. Our efforts have not gone unnoticed and we are pleased to announce that we now have the full support and backing of Octopus Energy, an award-winning UK energy supplier who share our passion and values.


Kraken Generation (previously Sennen) has recently combined forces with KrakenFlex! Our vision is to transform renewable energy infrastructure through technology, for a more sustainable world. Our mission is to become the go-to technology provider for renewable energy operators who are serious about safety, automation and efficiency at scale.


Deployments are to AWS entailing multiple databases and Docker services to facilitate our complex data integration processes, to drive our state-of-the-art applications. We're preparing for our largest solution to date, a multi-site five year partnership with EDF Renewables. In addition to our ongoing solutions for clients including London Array and Foresight, we have a healthy pipeline of new prospects and ambitious growth plans.


You'll provide assistance with the infrastructure, security and automation that underpins 24*7 production ops, ensuring we remain robust, nimble and efficient as we scale up. We have several existing infrastructure provisioning processes, as well as an ambitious roadmap of changes, and we’ll welcome your insights around the resources and evolution of the environments.


We offer a collaborative and friendly culture, with a flat structure. We can offer technical mentoring and guidance while you progress into delivering on more challenging objectives. You'll also have lots of autonomy, with plenty of time for research, to try things out and to complete projects. You'll find us open minded and supportive of your development and ideas. We also have a regular “Spa Day” where engineers are encouraged to work on interesting ideas with tangible benefit to the business, and creative exploration and novel approaches are encouraged.

Now is a great time to join us as we expand further, becoming an integral part of our platform operations with a significant voice in technical direction.
