Senior Backend Engineer

Octopus Energy started with a bold idea: to build Britain’s first truly digital energy supplier.  By combining world-class tech with brilliant humans who care deeply about customers and driving the renewable energy transition, we made it happen and in 2025, we became Britain’s largest energy supplier. Now, we’re scaling fast and building the next generation of products to accelerate the green energy transition. From making it effortless to switch to heat pumps, solar and EVs, to launching smart tariffs and creating renewable generation at scale, we’re solving some of the most complex challenges in energy with speed, creativity and customer obsession. We’re also enabling our global businesses to reach the full capability of what we’ve achieved in the UK, taking the learnings, products and experiences that customers love here and rolling them out worldwide. At Octopus Tech, you’ll have real ownership, variety, and the chance to shape products that make a tangible difference in people’s lives - lowering bills, enabling greener living, and delivering experiences customers genuinely love. You’ll work side by side with teams across marketing, operations, and data, and see the impact of your work in the real world, fast. We are looking for Senior Backend Engineers to join our Flexibility team.  The flexibility team is building the next generation of products and tools to make energy more flexible. These include our flagship Intelligent Octopus product automating demand shift for 300,000 customers with electric cars, home batteries or smart heating devices, saving 2 million customers money through Saving Sessions and Free Electricity Sessions, and managing 568MW of large grid-scale batteries to balance the system. The team develops products that are used by millions of customers, helping boost renewables use and decarbonise energy systems worldwide. We embrace flat hierarchies and an open, agile culture that fosters innovation, flexibility, and creativity.  We don’t hang our personalities up with our coats and nor should you. At Octopus, we hire great people who get stuff done, all whilst being themselves. If this sounds exciting, we’d love to chat.
