What you’ll do

We have lots of difficult design challenges to solve. The Spanish energy market is complicated, outdated and process-heavy – there's an awful lot of domain modelling that we need to get right. Strong attention to detail is essential. We have difficult technical problems to solve. With the advent of smart meters, we'll soon be processing millions of meter readings a day. We need the right technology in place to handle this smoothly as well as feeding data into a machine-learning pipeline that models and predicts consumption. There's a great opportunity for disruption in the Spanish energy market. The big suppliers still dominate, but are not exactly popular. The energy landscape is changing as we move to more dis-aggregated forms of generation, with less predictability, more dynamism and smarter technology. Octopus Energy were the first UK supplier to introduce a "tracker" tariff whose prices track the daily wholesale prices.
