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.
What you'll do
- Supporting different Energy Markets teams to design and build key operational and reporting pipelines across all Octopus Energy regions
- Developing automations and alerts to quickly debug where these pipelines are failing or showing unprecedented trends
- Setting up and maintaining processes for capturing, preparing and loading valuable new data into the data lake
- Designing and building dashboards that cover operational processes and reporting requirements
- Working with international teams across the Octopus Energy Group to ensure everyone shares the best possible practises and code is standardised where possible
- Taking ownership of data platform improvements that enhance the capabilities for all Energy Markets teams and drives trust in the stability of the setup
- Sharing, enhancing and up-skilling team members on available tools and best practices
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
- Drives knowledge sharing and documentation for a more effective platform
- Open to travelling to Octopus offices across Europe and the US
- Experience with dbt, Airflow and Spark would be a plus
Our data stack
- SQL-based pipelines built with dbt on Databricks
- Analysis via Python jupyter notebooks
- Pyspark in Databricks workflows for heavy lifting
- Streamlit and Python for dashboarding
- Airflow DAGs with Python for ETL
- Secoda for data documentation
