Help us make a big green dent in the universe. We're on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution, and we need loads more people to help us make our vision a reality.

The Energy Markets team at Octopus Energy is responsible for making sure that we always have the electricity and gas we need to support our customer demand whilst also supporting the grid to enable the Net Zero transition.

To achieve this mission across all Octopus international regions, we have sub-teams focused on forecasting energy demand and generation, hedging and shaping our trade position, tracking and reporting the ongoing risk to Octopus, pushing into intra-day trading based on real-time market analysis, and driving the proportion of our supply directly from generators via PPA agreements.

The Engineering sub-team owns our global technical platform that supports these different processes and drives forward long-term solutions to enhance Group capabilities.

We are looking for an Analytics Engineer to help achieve this goal - ideally someone who is comfortable diving into different tasks to support each team using a variety of coding languages across our platform setup, who enjoys developing relationships across the company while explaining technical processes in the most appropriate way, and who keeps an eye on scalable solutions to support data growth.

This is therefore an exciting opportunity to take on a role that combines complex data engineering, visual analytics and business critical need.

Taking ownership of data platform improvements that enhance the capabilities for all Energy Markets teams and drives trust in the stability of the setup

What you'll need

Strong aptitude with SQL and Python
Skilled at shaping needs into a solid set of requirements and designing scalable solutions to meet them
Able to quickly understand new domain areas and visualise data effectively
Team player excited at the idea of ownership across lots of different projects and tools
Passion for driving towards Net Zero
