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 create the technology that redefines utilities and unlocks a new energy system of the future. By optimising renewable generation, building a more intelligent grid, and empowering utilities to deliver an exceptional customer experience, our operating system is transforming the industry worldwide.
It’s an incredibly exciting time to work in energy. Join us on our mission to improve the lives of ONE BILLION humans within the decade and shape a cleaner, better future for everyone.
🏠 Where you'll fit in:
Kraken’s technology is written and maintained by a multi-discipline engineering team of around 1,400 people globally, which includes server-side, client-side, and mobile engineers. We follow an agile way of working, where individual teams are given the freedom to choose the tools that are most appropriate for managing their work.
Kraken is a great place to learn, work with talented engineers and level-up your skills. Some of our coding conventions are open-source.
Engineer I roles (usually 1-3 years exp) are only available hybrid from Melbourne Engineer II roles (usually 4-8 years exp) are available remotely within Australia or hybrid from Melbourne.
Our technology
Our backend developers use Python. Most of our websites are powered by Django and GraphQL (Graphene). Our CircleCI CI/CD pipeline runs tens of thousands of tests, deploying into AWS EKS defined by Terraform over 100 times per day and observed with tools like Sentry and Datadog. This allows us to move fast and at scale, without compromising reliability. Teams work differently but the commitment to quality is the same.
Developers at Kraken are empowered to use cutting-edge AI tools and models. Any generated code is still owned by a human.
What we do
Kraken Engineering has multiple disciplinary groups with their own management structures and teams working together to create a unified Kraken that can be deployed to any territory in the world to achieve clients’ goals.
Client Engineering is the development arm responsible for making sure our clients receive the best possible experience and their needs are met with high quality solutions.
🚀 What you'll own:
We are currently hiring at both the Engineer I and Engineer II levels.
Eng I candidates are earlier in their backend careers. You will have more structured support and guidance as you build confidence, learn our large codebase and develop your technical career.
Eng II candidates should already be coding at a strong technical level similar to a senior engineer, but will still receive support for broader architectural complexity, cross-domain challenges and continued career growth.
