Data Engineer
About the role
At Octopus Tech, you'll have real ownership, variety, and the chance to shape products that make a tangible difference in people's lives – lowering bills, enabling greener living, and delivering experiences customers genuinely love. You'll work side by side with teams across marketing, operations, and data, and see the impact of your work in the real world, fast. We are looking for a Data Visualisation Engineer to join our team. This is a rare chance to join a small, trusted team with a big remit. You'll work directly alongside senior leadership, own projects end to end, and produce work that directly shapes public understanding and support for the energy transition. Day to day you'll be working closely with teams like marketing, policy, and press, turning complex energy data into clear stories. Projects are varied and the pipeline moves fast, so you should be someone who gets energised by a new challenge landing on your plate without warning. On the technical side, we predominantly work in React and Next.js, Mapbox, and WebGL, alongside Blender for 3D and animation work. Beyond that, we use whatever tools the job calls for, and you'll regularly find yourself picking up something new. We're looking for someone who can do more than produce charts and maps. You should be confident in extracting narratives from raw data, understand how to pick the right visualisation techniques for the given story and audience, happy working independently, and someone willing to make decisions and take the initiative. Geospatial experience is desirable, and some familiarity with Python is a premio given how closely we work with the data science team. We care more about how you think and communicate than whether you already know the energy sector.
