What the job involves
- We’re charging Kraken to power utilities beyond energy (think water, broadband,..) and created a new team Kraken Utilities a couple of years ago.

We are now a team of over 100 people dedicated to building and scaling telco and water software
- You will become a part of this team and help us continue to grow our culture and engineering team
- You will help us build and scale the team, implement a good culture and work on some really exciting tech challenges
- You'll be joining a small frontend function (4-5 engineers) within the utilities team - with close support and collaboration from the wider Kraken team

- Kraken is a great place to learn, work with some talented engineers and level-up your skills
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Kraken is an AI-powered platform for utilities, helping energy, water, and telecom companies automate their operations and improve customer service. Its an end-to-end solution making it easier for utilities to improve and cut costs while also enhancing their service quality.
Its success speaks for itself too, with clients like EDF, Tokyo Gas, and Octopus Energy. With over 60M customer accounts managed across 30 countries, Kraken is making waves by reducing operational costs by 40%, proving its ability to deliver results.
Most recently, the company acquired Jedlix, a leader in smart EV charging. This deal expands Kraken's ability to offer smarter, greener charging solutions and is a sure way for the company to see even more success as it continues to scale globally.
