Data Engineer

Help us make a big green dent in the universe. We're on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution, and we need many more people to help us make our vision a reality.

Octopus Energy Generation (OEGEN) is a leader in sourcing, investing in, and managing a wide range of utility-scale renewable energy assets. As we continue to expand our investment base, we are dedicated to building a diverse team that reflects the communities we serve. Currently, we manage a global portfolio of over £8 billion in renewable energy assets.

We are committed to delivering best-in-class responsible investment activity, offering like-minded investors the means and products to invest their capital sustainably. It is our ambition to change the entire energy lifecycle and make every green electron matter, delivering the best outcomes for customers, investors, the environment and society, accelerating the transition to net zero.

OEGEN Data, Tech & Transformation Team

We are embarking on a comprehensive transformation program designed to drive significant advancements in our business operations and technology landscape. Our primary goal is to transition from our current reliance on legacy systems and specialized off-the-shelf tools to a more integrated, AI-driven, and data-centric operational model.

Leveraging insights and guidance from our other technically mature entities like Kraken and OE, we plan to adopt cutting-edge tools and capabilities, particularly in AI and Python-driven solutions.

By investing in a diverse range of skills, we aim to create a hybrid team capable of operating in both our legacy and future environments, ultimately transforming OEGEN into an efficient, data-driven organization.

About the role

We’re looking for a Data Engineer who can own the journey of data from source systems to decision-ready outputs. You’ll build and maintain pipelines, model data, stand up dashboards, and integrate systems via APIs. In a team this size, you’ll also get involved in application development - building internal tools with Streamlit, FastAPI, or HTMX that put data directly in the hands of our investment and asset management teams.

In your first 3 months you’ll have taken ownership of at least one critical pipeline from an external system into Databricks, and built or materially improved a reporting layer used by Fund Management or Asset Management.
