Octopus Energy | Python / Django Engineer | Sydney, Australia | ONSITE

We are a tech-focused energy supplier building a modern, event-driven infrastructure for interacting with both consumers (via the web, mobile apps and smart-meters) and the industry (e.g. data flows, consumption forecasting, trading on the wholesale market).

We're looking for strong engineers to join our team as we have a host of meaty challenges to solve. Python / Django experience would be an advantage but not a necessity - we're interested in talking to any candidate with a good track record and an interest in green energy. There's no minimum level of experience required: we'll consider everyone from graduates upwards.

You'll be working for a company that is helping address climate change. We're helping move people onto using greener technology and consuming energy from renewable sources. This will all help transition us towards a lower carbon future.

Hi, would you consider remote applicants? Thanks


We would prefer someone who can work in our Sydney office but will consider remote candidates (warning: the bar is much higher).


Sounds good. I was just checking out your site as far as the Python/Django Engineer opening goes..and the closest role I found to match your post here on HN is the Backend engineer role at your London location. I see that the requirements are just an interest in technology as well as problem solving. I have some experience using and working with Python and Django. So my question is, what do you require for applicants to apply? Is it a resume or Github? Or do we email you with the email given on your website telling about ourselves?


Please apply using the link in the post with your CV and explain why you're a strong candidate.


is this office new? Didn't realise Octopus operated outside of the UK


Yes, new office in Sydney. We're looking for more engineers to help shape the development of Australian market specific functionality into our platform.


ah that's awesome, been following the tech blog for awhile now. I assume since the office is new, you aren't sponsoring visas? I work in the NZ energy market and this opportunity sounds interesting


We might be able to sponsor in some situations so I'd still encourage you'd to apply if you're interested in the role.
