Description

About Octopus Electroverse
We’re making electric vehicle ownership as smart and as simple as possible, by building the giant, virtual charging platform of the future.
In just three years, Octopus Electroverse has grown to become one of the largest eMobility players globally, with over 800,000 connected electric vehicle chargers and a customer ecosystem spanning web, iOS, Android, CarPlay, Android Auto & Automotive OS, and more.
But it’s just the start: we’re busy expanding internationally, working with more automotive and tech partners, building exciting new features at scale, and creating the integrated charging experiences of the future - all in the name of making public EV charging super simple for customers.
Electroverse is a multifunctional team made up of product, development, commercial, operations, marketing, partnerships and more - all focused together on making Octopus the go-to name in EV charging. And we’re looking for smart individuals with an interest in the space who can help us make it happen.
We’re looking for someone who’s passionate about code, curious, and eager to learn. You’ll be working alongside the backend team that provides services for our Electroverse ecosystem in the electric vehicle and electrification space. This is an early stage project which will give you the chance to have a huge impact and given our ambitions in the electrification space, influence how the back-end scales to meet new challenges and create a wider ecosystem. Overall, you'll work with a small, high-energy project team to bring the product to life - an exciting opportunity to work like a start-up within a rapidly scaling EnTech business.
What you'll do
  • Help us develop our new exciting offering for businesses managing electric vehicles or who are undergoing an electrification transition
  • Support development in other areas within our Electroverse ecosystem
  • Work in a cross functional team to deliver best quality product for the users of our platform
What you'll need
  • The passion to create something amazing, and the mindset to learn and grow with the company.
  • Experience in the creation of the web service backend for a mobile or web app using Python/Django
  • A strong understanding of the Python ecosystem with 2+ years of experience.
  • An ability to discuss vision and features within a team and propose creative solutions
  • An ability to write robust and fault-tolerant software
  • Knowledge of (or a desire to learn) GraphQL APIs is a plus
  • Proficient understanding of Git
  • Familiarity with continuous integration and continuous deployment
  • Nice to have, but not essential: Experience working on B2B product features, e.g. KYB, invoicing, data protection rules
