Help us use technology to make a big green dent in the universe!

Kraken https://kraken.tech/ powers some of the most innovative global developments in energy.

We create the technology that redefines utilities and unlocks a new energy system of the future. By optimising renewable generation, building a more intelligent grid, and empowering utilities to deliver an exceptional customer experience, our operating system is transforming the industry worldwide.

It’s an incredibly exciting time to work in energy. Join us on our mission to improve the lives of ONE BILLION humans within the decade and shape a cleaner, better future for everyone.

Kraken is a technology company with a mission: helping energy utilities transform their operations to improve the lives of 1 billion people by accelerating the energy transition. We recognised that legacy technology has held the energy industry back for too long. At Kraken, we set out to change that.

Through successful partnerships with E.ON http://E.ON Next, EDF, Origin, Octopus Energy, and Tokyo Gas (to name just a few), we support over 60 million utility customers globally and we’ve expanded our offer to support businesses in the water and telco industries, meaning we're on track to achieve our mission of impacting 1 billion people within a decade.

We’ll never deliver on our ambitious goals without a team that is just as ambitious, so we’re expanding our tentacles and we are now looking for Senior Client Delivery Leads.
