Backend Engineer II

We would prefer someone who can work in our London office but will consider remote candidates. However, you do need to be able to work in the UK.

By combining world-class tech with brilliant humans who care deeply about customers and driving the renewable energy transition, we made it happen and earlier this year, we became Britain's largest energy supplier.

• We're looking for someone with a general interest in technology and problem-solving; someone diligent and thoughtful. It would be helpful to have experience/expertise in the following (in rough priority order):
• Writing robust and fault-tolerant software
• Django (or equiv. web framework)
• Celery and async processing

Are you ready for a career with us? We want to ensure you have all the tools and environment you need to unleash your potential. Need any specific accommodations? Whether you require specific accommodations or have a unique preference, let us know, and we'll do what we can to customise your interview process for comfort and maximum magic!

We don’t hang our personalities up with our coats and nor should you. At Octopus, we hire great people who get stuff done, all whilst being themselves.

At Octopus Energy Engineering, you'll have real ownership, variety, and the chance to shape products that make a tangible difference in people's lives - lowering bills, enabling greener living, and delivering experiences customers genuinely love. You'll work side by side with teams across marketing, operations, and data, and see the impact of your work in the real world, fast.

• 💰 Wondering what the salary for this role is? Just ask us! On a call with one of our recruiters it's something we always cover as we genuinely want to match your experience with the correct salary. The reason why we don't advertise is because we honestly have a degree of flexibility and would never want salary to be a reason why someone doesn't apply to Octopus - what's more important to us is finding the right octofit!
