It provides representations of the core parts of the system - an account and customer's identity. It also provides addresses information to the system, which is key to many parts of the system, such as ensuring comms are sent to actual verified locations. You will be helping with further enhancing the relatively new addresses product with features such as verifying address information. 🚀 What you’ll own We have lots of difficult design challenges to solve. The UK utilities market is complicated, outdated and process-heavy - there's an awful lot of domain modelling that we need to get right. Strong attention to detail is essential. We have challenging technical problems to solve; like processing tens of millions of meter readings a day. We need the right technology in place to handle this smoothly as well as feeding data into a machine learning pipeline that models and predicts consumption. Or thinking about how we adapt Kraken to improve other utilities like water and broadband. There's a great opportunity for disruption in the UK energy market. The big suppliers still dominate, but are not exactly popular. The energy landscape is changing as we move to more dis-aggregated forms of generation, with less predictability, more dynamism and smarter technology. You'll be working for a company that’s fighting climate change. Our generation arm is the largest investor in solar generation in the UK, and is funding wind and anaerobic digestion. As a supplier, we're helping people to use greener technology and renewable energy, all helping move the UK towards a lower carbon future. 🧠 What you bring to the party 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): Python Django (or equiv. web framework) Domain modelling HTTP and REST APIs Writing robust and fault-tolerant software Celery and async processing Postgres ⭐️ Bonus points AWS Terraform, Packer, Consul Kraken is a certified Great Place to Work in France, Germany, Spain, Japan, Australia, and USA.
