Kraken Tech Stack

AI operating system for utilities, water, and telecom infrastructure

Technology, Information and Internet London, England 1,001–5,000 employees Privately Held

Kraken builds an end-to-end operating system for utilities, water, and telecom operators. The stack reveals a modern, API-first architecture (GraphQL, Django REST, React, PostgreSQL) paired with data-heavy operations: they're building ML pipelines for consumption prediction and meter-reading processing at scale, now adopting tax compliance tools (Avalara, Vertex) to support international expansion. Engineering dominance in hiring (76 roles) alongside data and product signals a platform in active transformation—both their own re-architecture for water/broadband and their customers' operational overhauls.
