About the role

Help us use technology to make a big green dent in the universe!
 
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.

The Team Lead plays a critical role in Kraken’s engineering organisation. You will work closely with the team's Product Manager to guide product development through informed prioritisation and product objectives.
 
You’re expected to balance: 
- Operational effectiveness
- Team support and wellbeing
- Strategic product alignment
- Technical leadership
 
This role is about building a high-functioning team, shipping and maintaining high-quality systems, and keeping Kraken’s culture strong as we scale.

    • 2. Team Management & Support
  • Stay aware of team capacity, stress, and wellbeing
  • Run 1:1s and offer coaching and mentorship
  • Nurture a collaborative, motivated team culture
  • Make and carry out difficult decisions for the good of the team and Kraken
    • 3. Product & Delivery Oversight
  • Align the team to product vision and long-term goals
  • Maintain technical quality and improve systems thinking
  • Guide team planning, delivery, and retros
  • Translate large goals into achievable milestones
    • 4. Strategic Decision-Making

  • Distribute work fairly and rotate responsibilities

    • 5. Operational Excellence
  • Oversee or delegate rituals (planning, standups, reviews)
  • Connect team delivery to product-group and company-level goals
  • Partner closely with key stakeholders
  • Remove blockers — technical, process, or people-related

    • A strong Lead Software Engineer at Kraken demonstrates:

  • Has a strong engineering background
  • Is comfortable working asynchronously 
  • Clear, regular communication
  • Strategic thinking and the ability to translate that to action
  • Advocacy for their team and its products
  • A commitment to mentorship and support
  • Strong organisational habits
    • What This Role Isn’t - This isn’t about doing everything yourself. It’s about enabling the team — scaling through delegation, coaching, and systems. Your value comes from what the team delivers, not just your personal output.
