Octopus Energy started in the UK with a bold idea: to become the first truly digital energy supplier.

With cutting-edge technology and amazing people who are passionate about customers and the energy transition, we succeeded and today we are one of the UK’s largest energy providers.

In 2020, we took the next step and expanded to Germany. Since then, we have been supplying customers here with electricity and gas – clean, fair, and transparent. Today, we serve over one million energy customers in Germany. At the same time, we are driving the green energy transition forward: from easy switching to heat pumps and smart meters to intelligent tariffs that make everyday life easier.

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.

If this sounds exciting, we’d love to chat. 💚

Hands-on experience with Python and any web framework - Django is a plus

Experience working with REST APIs - GraphQL is a plus

Experience collaborating on codebases using Git

Ability to communicate in English (participating in meetings and discussions, reading and writing) as well as strong German language skills, both written and spoken, as German is the company’s primary working language

Overall, we're looking for someone with a general interest in technology and problem-solving; someone diligent and thoughtful.

Any of the following would be a bonus:

Have knowledge of database management and SQL

Interest in environmental issues and the energy industry

Be able to write technical specifications and maintain clear, concise code documentation

Some knowledge of Datadog and/or Sentry

Monthly public transport subsidy

Monthly lunch allowance

Discounted bike leasing
