Head of Engineering - Kraken Utilities

<div><a href="https://kraken.tech/" style="font-size:18px;">Kraken</a><span style="font-size:18px;"> powers some of the most innovative global developments in energy.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:18px;">We’re a technology company focused on creating a smart, sustainable energy system. From optimising renewable generation, creating a more intelligent grid and enabling utilities to provide excellent customer experiences, our operating system for energy is transforming the industry around the world in a way that benefits everyone.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:18px;">It’s a really exciting time in energy.

Our engineers work in ‘super teams’ which are focused on key areas of our platform as well as other innovative products. This also includes server-side, client-side and mobile engineers working closely with UX experts, copywriters and designers. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:18px;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size:18px;">Teams are empowered to choose a way of working that works for them, often opting for a Kanban-like approach.
