We’re on a mission to make owning an electric vehicle as smart and as simple as possible, and we need passionate people to help us build the best eMobility brand on the planet.
In just under two years, Octopus Electroverse has grown to become one of the largest eMobility players in the UK & Europe, with over 400,000 connected electric vehicle chargers and a customer ecosystem spanning web, iOS, Android, CarPlay, Android Auto, and more.
But it’s just the start: we’re busy launching in new countries, working with more automotive and tech partners, building exciting new features at scale, and creating the charging platforms of the future - all in the name of making public EV charging super simple for customers.
Electric Universe is a multifunctional team made up of product, development, commercial, operations, partnerships and more - all focused together on making Octopus the name in EV charging. And we’re looking for smart individuals with an interest in the space who can help us make it happen.
We’re looking for someone who’s passionate about code, curious, and eager to learn. You’ll be working alongside the backend team that provides services for our Electric Juice ecosystem in the electric vehicle and electrification space. This is an early stage project which will give you the chance to have a huge impact and given our ambitions in the electrification space, influence how the back-end scales to meet new challenges and create a wider ecosystem. Overall, you'll work with a small, high-energy project team to bring the product to life - an exciting opportunity to work like a start-up within a rapidly scaling EnTech business.

- Work in the backend team that provides services for our Electric Juice ecosystem in the electric vehicle & electrification space.
- Work within an early-stage project which will give you the chance to have a huge impact and - given Octopus’s ambitions in the electrification space - influence how the back-end scales to meet new challenges and create a wider ecosystem.
- Overall you’ll work with a small, high-energy project team to bring the product to life – an exciting opportunity to work like a start-up within a rapidly scaling EnTech business.
What you'll need
- The passion to create something amazing, and the mindset to learn and grow with the company.
- Experience in the creation of the webservice backend for a mobile or web app using Python/Django
- A strong understanding of the Python ecosystem with 2+ years of experience.
- An ability to discuss vision and features within a team and propose creative solutions
- An ability to write robust and fault-tolerant software
- Knowledge of (or a desire to learn) GraphQL APIs is a plus
- Proficient understanding of Git
- Familiarity with continuous integration and continuous deployment
Why else you'll love it here
- Wondering what the salary for this role is? Just ask us! On a call with one of our recruiters it's something we always cover as we genuinely want to match your experience with the correct salary. The reason why we don't advertise is because we honestly have a degree of flexibility and would never want salary to be a reason why someone doesn't apply to Octopus - what's more important to us is finding the right octofit!
- Octopus Energy is a unique culture. An organisation where people learn, decide, and build quicker. Where people work with autonomy, alongside a wide range of amazing co-owners, on projects that break new ground. We want your hard work to be rewarded with perks you actually care about! We won best company to work for in 2022, on Glassdoor we were voted 50 best places to work in 2022 and our Group CEO, Greg has recorded a podcast about our culture and how we empower our people
