💬 Speaking about Kraken: "Jackson describes Kraken's flexible platform as 'like at a supermarket, with buy-one-get-one-free, so many discounts and bargains...What Kraken has allowed us to do is to try many things. And consumerize them,'

🔋Utility Dive's recent webinar delves into how emerging technologies are transforming utility-customer relationships. Learn how renewable energy, EVs, and smart devices are driving a shift towards a greener, more efficient energy system.
We will bring about a sustainable global energy system faster and cheaper through technology
We believe energy should be better - for you and the environment. Through our in-house developed platform, Kraken Technologies, cloud-based billing, and sophisticated use of data science, modelling and AI, we’re redefining what is possible in energy around the world.
We have lots of difficult design challenges to solve. The utilities market is complicated, outdated and process-heavy - there's an awful lot of domain modeling that we need to get right.
We have challenging technical problems to solve; like processing tens of millions of meter readings a day. We need the right technology in place to handle this smoothly as well as feeding data into a machine learning pipeline that models and predicts consumption. Or thinking about how we adapt Kraken to improve other utilities like water and broadband.
There's a great opportunity for disruption in the utilities market. The big suppliers still dominate, but are not exactly popular. The energy 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.
Python - Django - React - Next - Typescript - Postgresql
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. All technology is written and maintained by a multi-discipline engineering team of around 450 people globally. 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.
