We believe energy should be better - for you and the environment.

We’re a leading energy technology (EnTech) company, providing a better experience for our customers through transparency, honesty and simplicity. Better for the planet, through real long-term investment in renewable generation and a low CO2 future. We make energy green and flexible for consumers, with fair and transparent pricing.

We’re on a mission to make energy greener, fairer, and genuinely better for people. Our global energy revolution is backed by Generation, the sustainable fund co-chaired by Al Gore. To succeed with this mission, we need excellent technical people who want to use their skills on the biggest challenge the planet is facing.

We’re proud to be Europe’s best-funded green tech start-up, and one of Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work. We’re also the most awarded energy supplier in the UK, and have been Which? Recommended six years running.

What will you be doing?

Octopus Energy Engineering is responsible for the sites, services, and tariffs that are used by the millions of Octopus Energy customers worldwide. From building the latest, cutting-edge time-of-use tariffs, to helping customers actually enjoy tasks like providing meter readings through our wheel of fortune - and everything in between.

You’ll find a wide variety of challenges in the work we do as we help push the energy revolution forward. Our teams are multi-disciplined and collaborate between countries, meaning you have what you need to get the right people together and build the next great thing.

The UK Dashboard is also home to innovative greenfield projects, such as Octoplus, our loyalty program, or Winter Workout.

We embrace flat hierarchies and an open, agile culture that fosters innovation, flexibility, and creativity.

We don’t hang our personalities up with our coats and nor should you. At Octopus, we hire great people who get stuff done, all whilst being themselves.
