Job Description

Benvenuti nel futuro dell’energia!


La missione di Octopus Energy è rendere l’energia rinnovabile accessibile a tutti.


Grazie alla tecnologia, stiamo guidando la rivoluzione energetica a livello globale, offrendo energia pulita a prezzi convenienti e un servizio clienti sbalorditivo.


Se non ti piacciono le sfide non inviarci la tua candidatura ;)


In Octopus Energy non amiamo la burocrazia, le regole troppo stringenti e le offerte commerciali poco chiare.

Vogliamo rivoluzionare il mercato energetico italiano. Per farlo, siamo alla ricerca di persone motivate, che condividano i nostri stessi valori.


Se hai a cuore il futuro del nostro pianeta e vuoi aiutarci a migliorare il settore energetico, unisciti al nostro team!


Octopus Energy Italia is targeting 1 million Italian energy accounts by 2025 (5% of the market). The rapid expansion will be driven by an initial investment of €60 million from Octopus Energy, coming soon after the $600 million injection from Al Gore-backed Generation Investment Management that Octopus Energy Group received in October 2021 and the $300 million investment made by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) made in December 2021. These two investments value the company approximately US$5 billion, rivalling that of many long-established energy giants.


Our team

All technology is written and maintained by a multi-discipline engineering team of around 100 people. This includes server-side, client-side and mobile engineers working closely with UX experts, copywriters and designers.


We follow a Kanban-like approach, using Google docs and Asana to specify and manage work; Github, CircleCI and Terraform Enterprise as part of an immutable-infrastructure, continuous delivery pipeline; and Loggly, Sentry and Cloudwatch to measure performance and monitor production.


Some of our coding conventions are open-source .


Octopus is a great place to learn, work with some talented engineers and level-up your skills.


Our technology

On the server-side, we mainly use Python. Most of our websites are powered by Django, Django-REST-framework and GraphQL (Graphene).


We use AWS heavily, employing most of the "Hashistack" (eg Packer, Consul, Terraform) as part of a continuous deployment pipeline. See, for example, Django, ELB health checks and continuous delivery.


Client-side, we use React, Redux and SASS; our mobile apps are built using native code or React Native.
