Our Team

Members of the Kraken Tech team need to be shining examples and believe in decision making based on simplicity, customer benefit, and efficiency.

We are fundamentally changing the way that energy companies work. We put customer happiness and cost competitiveness first with great people, technology and ways of working.

We are looking for a frontend engineer that can help build out our products within Kraken. You will help us to solve complex problems with great products that have a high impact on the operation of our clients and their customers.

Our ideal candidate is an individual who is passionate about everything frontend, equipped with a growth mindset, empathy for people around them and excited to solve software challenges that can affect millions of people’s experience when interacting with our ecosystem. As a frontend engineer you will contribute alongside others in a global team, contributing to the design and implementation of features, reviewing fellow engineers code to ensure what we push is safe and high quality.
