Our aim is to be the leading global provider of solutions that enable customers to release £30bn of value per annum from distributed energy resources (DERs). We are building a Software as a Service (SaaS) subscription business with a global addressable market of £2.4 billion per annum, by digitally connecting hundreds of thousands of DERs with energy markets.
We have already attained a market leading position and KrakenFlex is a recognised thought leader and innovator in the industry. Our efforts have not gone unnoticed and we are pleased to announce that we now have the full support and backing of Octopus Energy, an award-winning UK energy supplier who share our passion and values.

The position will work closely with our delivery and integrations teams to improve the overall security, quality and scalability of our product build, deployment and monitoring.
As a team, we work heavily with infrastructure as code and we also write software, so we're looking for a Senior IoT Engineer with experience in IoT Device Management, AWS and Software Development.

- Develop small pieces of software that form part of the wider KrakenFlex platform
- Setup and maintain monitoring, metrics & reporting systems for fine-grained observability and actionable alerting
- Collaborate with external pen-testing company to evaluate the security for all aspects of our AWS implementation
- Work as part of a team of engineers, regularly seeking feedback and growing your skills as technical professionals
- Work with our delivery teams to ensure our services adhere to the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
What you'll need
- Multiple years experience working with AWS
- Multiple years of experience working with IoT Devices and large-scale deployments of IoT Devices
- Awareness of and experience in implementing and automating security best-practices
- Strong understanding of common services available in AWS (both infrastructure-based services and software-based services) to deliver end-to-end architectures and designs and recommendations.
- Proficient with DevOps methodologies such as CI/CD, version control (we use GitHub) and full-stack repeatability
- Ability to prioritise tasks and work independently
- Experience working with infrastructure as code tools such as CloudFormation, Terraform and CDK.
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!

Ideally you will be based in the Greater Manchester and happy to come into the office a couple of days per week! But we appreciate that things have changed and flexibility is at the top of everyone's agenda, so if you would rather be remote please let us know.
If this sounds like you then we'd love to hear from you.
Studies have shown that some groups of people, like women, are less likely to apply to a role unless they meet 100% of the job requirements.

Across Octopus, we're looking for genuinely decent people who are honest and empathetic.
