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.
Our data sources and problems are many and varied. We have some simple but high throughput data sources (e.g. over 10,000,000,000 rows a day and growing rapidly), complex unstructured and semi structured data and complex application data from our various microservices.
Our aim is to allow our business and our customers to answer increasingly complex questions, and gain new insights, based on our data, additional external data, and things we can learn and models we can extract from our data.
What you'll do:
- Build and maintain data pipelines that deliver key data and insights to the business
- Integrate new data sources into the data platform as well as working on initiatives to continuously improve stability, quality and performance
- Continuously improve our data infrastructure and toolings, including ingestion, testing and documentation frameworks
- Work with the business to scope and deliver new data engineering projects and requirements, especially as we expand into markets across APAC
- Contribute to the software engineering and data engineering culture here at Kraken
- Collaborate regularly with colleagues across the world with many different specialities, including software engineers, data scientists and data engineers, to create innovative solutions that delight our customers and colleagues
What you'll have:
- First and foremost, we want our data engineers to be great software engineers with a passion for writing high quality code. It would be helpful to have experience/expertise in the following:
- Python
- SQL
- Dbt
- Experience deploying data services in a cloud environment (ideally AWS)
- Experience in infrastructure as code - Terraform/CloudFormation
- The projects will be varied and we're looking for someone who can work autonomously and proactively to scope problems and solve and deliver pragmatic solutions.

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene
Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
