## About the Role

* We have lots of difficult design challenges to solve. The UK utilities market is complicated, outdated and process-heavy - there's an awful lot of domain modelling that we need to get right. Strong attention to detail is essential.

## Description

* Architect & develop new components of the Kraken platform to serve other utilities.
 * We have a lot of challenging problems to solve as we work to improve the utilities industry. You will help find the right technology to build complex lifecycle journeys and payment flows, deal with hard industry problems, and support the processing of millions of readings.
 * There's a great opportunity for disruption in the UK water and broadband markets. The landscape is changing as we move to more dis-aggregated forms of generation, with less predictability, more dynamism and smarter technology.
 * You'll be working for a company that's fighting climate change. Our generation arm is the largest investor in solar generation in the UK, and is funding wind and anaerobic digestion. As a supplier, we're helping people to use greener technology and renewable energy, all helping move the UK towards a lower carbon future.

What you'll need:

We're looking for someone with a general interest in technology and problem-solving; someone diligent and thoughtful. Experience with the following:

 * Python
 * Django (or equiv. web framework)
 * Domain modelling
 * HTTP and REST APIs
 * Writing robust and fault-tolerant software
 * Celery and async processing
 * Postgres

Plus experience in the following would be a bonus:

 * AWS
 * Terraform, Packer, Consul
 * React and Redux
