Octopus Energy

Kraken is the technology behind Octopus Energy. 

We invented, designed and built Kraken Technologies to ensure that we had the most innovative, data-centric and customer-focused technology to support our top-class customer service. Kraken Technologies now delivers transformational Energy-Tech to businesses around the world to make the global transition to green energy quicker and more affordable. 

We’re now licensing Kraken Technologies to businesses globally. You can read about our partnership with E.On HERE as an example to see how Kraken is evolving our business. You can learn more about how the migration works in practice HERE

Our aim is to have 100 million customers on the Kraken Platform by the year 2030.

Our group includes Octopus Energy, Octopus for Business, Octopus Electric Vehicles and Octopus Energy Services as well as our new net zero Centre - Octopus Centre for Net Zero.  

We recently secured over £500 million of investment from Origin, Australia's largest Energy Company and Tokyo Gas, to help us continue our mission.  This will help power our growth into new markets, invest in Kraken Technologies, build more tech to make energy greener and increase our investment in service and growth in our existing markets, the UK and Globally. 

We’re looking for someone to take design ownership across a product ecosystem in the new and rapidly growing space of electric vehicle charging. The product includes iOS & Android apps, web & web-applications, and has a rapidly growing customer base. As the primary designer, you’ll take responsibility for UX & UI, unified look and feel across platforms, and translate commercial vision and user needs into a world-class product. 

The product is less than a year old and has an iOS & Android app beta in the hands of customers, with some design language already established. However, with a raft of new features planned and web & web-apps joining the ecosystem, you’ll have the opportunity to make a huge impact on product design as we scale - and indeed we’re looking for someone who’s excited to do so.

Overall you’ll work with a small, high-energy project team to bring the vision to life - a rare opportunity to work like a start-up within a rapidly scaling EnTech business.
