Senior Backend Engineer
Octopus Energy • GBTypeScript Hybrid
Octopus Energy started with a bold idea: to build Britain's first truly digital energy supplier.
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.
Now, we're scaling fast and building the next generation of products to accelerate the green energy transition. From making it effortless to switch to heat pumps, solar and EVs, to launching smart tariffs and creating renewable generation at scale, we're solving some of the most complex challenges in energy with speed, creativity and customer obsession. We're also enabling our global businesses to reach the full capability of what we've achieved in the UK, taking the learnings, products and experiences that customers love here and rolling them out worldwide.
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.
We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer - TypeScript, to join our Devices team.
Devices is a cross-functional team within OE Engineering, responsible for developing and maintaining Octopus Energy’s hardware products and features. Our ideal engineer would be an individual who loves to engage with interesting software problems, with an interest in backend/cloud development and the passion to build and shape the future within a collaborative, community-based environment. Engineers in Devices will enjoy collaborating with the wider team, and work with other disciplines to solve problems holistically across multiple products.
We embrace flat hierarchies and an open, agile culture that fosters innovation, flexibility, and creativity.
This is an opportunity to focus on ambitious, high-impact work that's a fundamental part of driving the global shift to clean, smart energy.
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.
If this sounds exciting, we’d love to chat.
