- Have experience with JavaScript frameworks, particularly the React stack, react-node is a plus
- Have experience in crafting mobile-first responsive sites for a range of devices
- Know how to develop websites that meet AAA accessibility guidelines
- Can create code that works consistently across different browsers and platforms
- Can take Figma designs and bring them to life in code
- We're looking for someone with a passion for software engineering and problem-solving; a diligent and thoughtful collaborator, with an eagerness to build outstanding software
- Whoever you are, if you like one of our jobs, we encourage you to apply as you might just be the candidate we hire
What the job involves
- What we do: build the most AI-driven, innovative, forward-thinking platform for energy management
- From optimizing resources to delivering cost-effective, exceptional customer experiences through advanced Customer Information Systems (CIS), billing, meter data management, CRM, and AI-driven communications, Kraken is powering the next wave of innovation in the energy industry
- Why we do it: future energy will not look like energy as we know it today. We need to not just think about our future, but build for it. Now
- While Kraken Technologies is written and maintained by a 1500+ people strong, multi-discipline engineering team, you’ll be part of a new, early stage product division within: KrakenFlow
- KrakenFlow is a team of 40 people in size, and responsible for the development of an end-to-end business process management platform
- The new web-based tool allows internal teams and clients to configure, execute, and track their business processes, with a drag-n-drop workflow builder at its core
- This is a unique opportunity to marry early-stage challenges with the benefits of the highly successful scale-up that is Kraken
- We work agile and use tools like Notion, Asana, and Figma to specify & plan our work; Github, CircleCI and Terraform Enterprise as part of an immutable-infrastructure, continuous delivery pipeline; Sentry and CloudWatch to measure performance and monitor production
- Some of our coding conventions are open-source. Kraken is a great place to learn, work with some talented engineers and level-up your skills
- You’ll be a core contributor to the KrakenFlow workflow management experience, delighting users with powerful features around our drag-n-drop workflow builder, form builder, as well as management & analytics pages that are part of the user-facing platform
- You’ll love this role if you’re excited about coding a lot, in close collaboration with your highly experienced peers as part of a truly global team. You’ll ensure clean software design, choice of right technologies, and participate in building an application to very high standards that is designed for tremendous global impact
- As the team grows, you’ll onboard other team members, ensure good documentation, clean code and contribute to establishing a great developer experience
- You'll be working for a company that’s fighting climate change
- As a supplier, we're helping people to use greener technology and renewable energy, all helping move the energy market towards a lower carbon future
- Our Stack:
- For the KrakenFlow web app, client-side we use NextJS (React), TypeScript, Zustand, and React Query to connect to our OpenAPI internal REST API, which is fully typed incl. code-gen for type generation
- Server-side, we mainly use Python & Django
- We use AWS heavily, employing most of the "Hashistack" (eg Packer, Consul, Terraform) as part of a continuous deployment pipeline
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.
