Octopus Energy/Kraken Technologies | Software Engineers in General | Global | Full-time | Compensation varies per country of residence

Do you care about clean energy? Like remote culture and a global company that still feels like a startup?

Only been around 8 years, but we're the largest energy retailer in the UK (100% renewable electricity), do wind and power generation all over the world, and just bought a heat pump factory because we couldn't buy them fast enough.

Everything we do is powered with our own software, Kraken. For those who've worked with energy tech/energy utility software, you'll appreciate that it needed to change :)

Hiring globally in a variety of roles (https://octopus.energy/careers/join-us/#/), ranging from senior platform roles to entry level backend developers.

Feel free to apply on our careers page, and more than happy to share more about the org and mission at tagg.jefferson@kraken.tech .

I would also be fascinated to hear more about this! Would you be open to sharing contact information or any public writing on the project?

GridCure (www.gridcure.com) | Backend Engineer | Data Engineer | Boulder, Colorado | Full-time | ONSITE

Want to literally help keep the lights on? GridCure provides a SaaS platform for electrical power utilities to predict equipment failure, optimize power generation, and help get more renewables on the grid overall. We work with utilities around the world, including EDP in Portugal, LE in Lithuania, and AEP in the US as a few examples of some of the fun places we get to travel.

We're a Python shop hosted on Google Cloud, primarily looking for more engineers to help us with big ETL processes and generally scaling out the platform. Familiarity with Django, API development, and data processing in general are are the key skill sets we're looking for, and because our customers are big utilities scalability and reliability are key design requirements.

You'll enjoy an unlimited vacation and work-from-wherever-you're-most-effective-today policy, our only ask is for folks to spend the majority of their first few months in the Boulder, CO office for onboarding and getting to know the team.

Check more details on the roles at https://www.gridcure.com/contact/ (and try out the posted data set to find the EVs in smart meter signals!). I'm the founder - feel free to email me at tagg@gridcure.com directly with any questions, and if you're in the Boulder/Denver area, coffee's on me.

Congrats Topher and team! Awesome writeup, and look forward seeing you all soon for our next SC reunion dinner.
