Through our home developed platform, cloud-based billing, and sophisticated use of data science, modelling and AI, we’re redefining what is possible in energy.
By accessing the industrial/wholesale rate, our customers save 20% on their energy costs. If they want to save even more? Our AI platform enables customers to amplify their total savings up to 40% off their electricity bill.
Formerly operating as Evolve Energy, our efforts have not gone unnoticed and we are extremely pleased to announce that we now have the full support and backing of Octopus Energy, an award-winning UK energy supplier who share our passion and values.
Octopus Energy is a tech-focused energy supplier using technology to make the green energy revolution affordable whilst transforming customer experiences.
We’re looking for a diligent and thoughtful software engineer to join our mobile team on a greenfield mobile app which aims to transform the electric vehicle experience. This is a rare opportunity to use technology to help fight climate change through driving the use of green technology and renewable energy sources in the US and abroad. Unlike our competitors, we're a tech-led company who aim to use first-class software engineering and creative technology to innovate and provide an industry-beating customer experience.
About the role
We’re looking for someone to take on the challenge of owning and launching an Android app in the electrification space. You’ll take responsibility for building the app from the ground up, and translating designs and requirements into technical reality. This is a greenfield app which will give you the opportunity to have a huge impact. You’ll be working in a new team building the Android and iOS apps concurrently with the aim of using cross platform code sharing solutions to reduce the volume of code duplicated across platforms whilst keeping the UI fully native. Overall you’ll work with a small, high-energy project team to bring the app to life – an exciting opportunity to work like a start-up within a rapidly scaling EnTech business.
About you
We're looking for someone with a general interest in technology and problem-solving; someone diligent and thoughtful; someone with the mindset to learn and grow with the company. We’d love to talk to you if you:
Have a deep understanding of the Kotlin ecosystem.
Have experience in the creation of an app through all technical aspects: develop, integrate, ship, test, manage, improve.
Either have some experience with or are keen to learn new technologies like Kotlin Multiplatform, Jetpack Compose, GraphQL, and Github Actions
Are passionate about app architecture and can talk about the benefits and drawbacks of various patterns (MVC, MVVM, MVI/Redux)
Can discuss vision and features within a team and propose creative solutions
Bonus points for non-trivial experience with:
Reactive programming (RxJava or Flow)
Coroutines
Dependency Injection with Dagger
CI & CD
Evolve Energy is part of the Octopus Energy Group, which also includes Octopus Energy, Kraken Technologies, Octopus Energy for Business and Octopus Electric Vehicles.
