What you'll do:

• We have lots of difficult design challenges to solve. The US energy market is complicated, outdated and process-heavy - there's a lot of domain modelling that we need to get right. Strong attention to detail is essential.

• We have difficult technical problems to solve. With the advent of smart meters, we'll soon be processing 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.

• Often, we can only give you the question and not the answer, because if we knew the answer, we wouldn’t be hiring - are you someone who not only finds answers but creates value by coming back and asking better questions?

• There's a great opportunity for disruption in the US energy market. The big suppliers still dominate, but are not popular. The energy landscape is changing as we move to more dis-aggregated forms of generation, with less predictability, more dynamism and smarter technology.

• We're continuing to build momentum across the global energy sector, and we're delighted to announce that Portland General Electric (PGE) has selected Kraken to bring its customer operations and energy-flexibility programmes together on our integrated platform - PGE, which serves nearly 960,000 customers across Oregon, will use Kraken's technology to simplify customer experiences, improve operational efficiency and unlock greater value from energy flexibility.
