Description

Kraken powers some of the most innovative global developments in energy.
We’re a technology company focused on creating a smart, sustainable energy system. From optimising renewable generation, creating a more intelligent grid and enabling utilities to provide excellent customer experiences, our operating system for energy is transforming the industry around the world in a way that benefits everyone.
It’s a really exciting time in energy. Help us make a real impact on shaping a better, more sustainable future.
About our Data Platform Team
At Kraken we've developed a data platform that that is used by Octopus Energy and our other clients retail energy businesses around the world. The platform empowers users with self-service data analytics and automates our data processing workflows, from simple ETL jobs to ML training and prediction.
The data platform team works across the whole customer domain on anything from natural language understanding of our customer communications to processing billions of smart meter readings every day to support clients in creating customised and market leading smart energy tariffs.
As the volume, scope and geographical range of our data offerings rapidly expand, we're looking for an experienced Product Manager to join the team to help us build and maintain our platform, pipelines and data sources.
We're passionate about building great technology to change the way customers use, and think about, energy for the good of the planet. This is a fantastic opportunity to work with us on data problems that genuinely move us closer to Net Zero, and support the energy transition.
What you'll need...
  • To be able to recognise what needs to be done (and, just as importantly, what doesn’t need to be done right now) based on the overall goals of the team and our strategic direction.
  • Experience in data products, and understanding of how data systems work at a low level
  • To be able to work in a dynamic environment. Fantastic ideas come from everywhere in Kraken Technologies, so you’ll need to be able to spot and harness them. Experience in a fast-paced start-up or scale-up would be a plus.
  • To be curious and willing to roll up your sleeves. For example, this might mean learning some development skills;  helping to build out and prioritise our tech hiring roadmap; using SQL to gain further understanding of a problem; or even editing some code.
  • To have excellent written and verbal communication skills and an ability to interact with people with varying levels of technical knowledge.
It would be great if...
  • You have knowledge of utilities or energy markets.
  • You have knowledge of working with data at scale.
