Who are we?
We are Octopus Energy Hatchery, an autonomous arm of Octopus Energy, based in North Bristol. We develop new ideas into companies in the energy and sustainability sector. Although, if we spot an opportunity in another market we’ll certainly look into it! We do the market research, business model development, user research, user testing, and software development to establish the viability of a future business.
Who’s in my team?
You’ll be part of a small cross-functional team that covers design, user testing, product management and software development. You’ll be leading on the software development.
As we are a small team, we are not limited or tied to any process, you will play a big part in shaping the culture of the Hatchery.
What technology will I be using?
You’ll be leading on this so it’s up to you, whatever you think is the right technology for the product. We will expect you to cover all aspects of development from spikes, initial discovery work to testing and release of products.
Don’t expect to just be writing code though, everyone gets involved in idea generation / discussion, business questions, user research (you won’t have to do the interviews). Everyone brings a different viewpoint to a problem and we value that diverse thinking.
What happens if I develop a concept that I really love and want to follow?
We really hope this happens as it shows your passion for the problem. As long as we can find someone to replace you in the Hatchery then we won’t stand in your way. The new company will be part of our wider group so you won’t be that far removed anyway!
We are looking for someone with the follow skills / experience:

Simprints is currently on track to support over 8 million people by 2021.
We are looking for engineers with a focus on cloud-native backend development to join our growing tech team. You will work on an agile, collaborative team with a commitment to clean code and robust design, along with a strong culture of continuous learning and improvement. If building technology for global health sounds exciting, we want to meet you!

At heart, we are product people who love data so much that we built the only solution that integrates more than 150 data connectors to allow for true automation of progress and productivity management.
The Role
The term site reliability engineering is credited to Benjamin Treynor Sloss, Vice President of Engineering at Google. He said site reliability engineering is “what happens when a software engineer is tasked with what used to be called operations.”
To us, a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) is responsible for the availability, latency, performance, efficiency, change management, monitoring, emergency response, and capacity planning of their services.
SREs design and implement automation with software to replace human labor. They want systems that are automatic, not just automated—such that their services are able to run and repair themselves.
Responsibilities
Engage in and improve the entire lifecycle of services—from inception and design, through to deployment, operation, and refinement/system tuning
Support services before they go live through activities like system design consulting, developing software platforms and frameworks, capacity planning and launch reviews
Maintain services once they are live by measuring and monitoring availability, latency, and overall system health
Identify performance bottlenecks and troubleshoot performance issues
Scale systems sustainably through mechanisms like automation, and evolve systems by advocating for changes that improve reliability and velocity
Practice sustainable incident response and postmortems
Basic Qualifications
Experience with algorithms, data structures, complexity analysis, and software design
Ability to work across teams (business and technical) to continuously analyze system performance in production, troubleshoot consumer reported issues, and proactively identify areas requiring optimization
Preferred Qualifications
Expertise in designing, analyzing and troubleshooting large-scale distributed systems
A systematic problem-solving approach, accompanying effective communication skills, a sense of ownership, self-direction, and drive
Ability to debug and optimize code and to automate routine tasks
Practical experience in supporting application reliability practices for consumer-facing web and mobile experiences
The Stack
Our tech stack includes (but is not limited to):
Kubernetes, Docker, Golang, Java, GAP, ELK, OpenTracing, Python, OpenShift, Terraform, Ansible
We started in Sofia in 2015 with a mission to ship a world-class data management and analytics engine which allows companies to automatically track and visualize KPIs in real-time and create custom insights to inform goal setting, performance management, and long-term strategic decision making. Today we operate across offices in Sofia, London, Berlin, and San Francisco.
Apply today if our mission inspires you! Join us in developing yourself and others as our Site Reliability Engineer.
