Renewable energy retailer and tech infrastructure platform across 6 countries

Utilities London, England 1,001–5,000 employees Privately Held

Octopus Energy operates as both a retail power supplier and a technology infrastructure business, with distinct engineering, operations, and field-delivery teams. The stack reveals a data-heavy organization: Python, Spark, dbt, Airflow, and Databricks sit alongside customer-facing tools (React, Next.js, GraphQL), suggesting they're building internal analytics and optimization systems while managing consumer-facing platforms. Hiring is accelerating across ops (46 roles) and engineering (37), with mid-level positions dominating—a pattern typical of scaling field operations and data pipelines simultaneously.
