Collaborate closely with our Security team to ensure we strike the right balance between security, productivity and user experience.
Continually find opportunities to automate our processes and improve the user experience.
Empower our people to help themselves by designing and building self-service solutions.
Monitor and maintain all the tech in our offices around the world - networks, meeting rooms, printers, digital signage, CCTV, door access control.
Managing supplier relationships and the procurement process for SaaS and hardware.
Lead and manage complex technical projects with multiple stakeholders from around the business.

Examples of some TechOps projects include…

Rollout of, and migration to, a new identity provider
macOS and Windows MDM migration
Rollout of a new device trust and posture compliance solution
The replacement of insecure factors like SMS with phishing-resistant factors
Office fit-outs, including tech like network, AV, access control etc
SaaS migrations for acquisitions e.g. Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace

What You'll Need

Experience leading on a range of technical projects across various technologies and platforms
Experience with scripting, using APIs and automating mundane, error-prone repetitive tasks.
To be comfortable with a huge amount of ambiguity and spinning a lot of plates all at the same time.
Experience working with multiple teams and managing multiple stakeholders.
Experience supporting, managing and deploying applications to macOS, Windows, iOS and Android devices.
Experience with Identity & Access Management systems like Okta or Microsoft Entra.
Experience administering and troubleshooting Single Sign-On (SSO) technologies such as OAuth, OIDC and SAML.
An understanding of identity provisioning technologies such as SCIM.
Experience of designing and installing office networks - we use Cisco Meraki.
A conscientious approach to everything you do and a passion for doing the right thing rather than the easy thing.

Don’t think you check off all of the above? We love hiring passionate people with a drive to learn so get in touch and let us know which areas you don’t currently have confidence and/or experience with, we’d love to hear from you!

Rejoins la révolution énergétique

Tu aimes les défis et tu as envie d’avoir un vrai impact ? Rejoins-nous !

Qui sommes-nous ?

Octopus Energy France est une scale-up engagée et en pleine croissance dans le domaine de l’énergie. En trois ans, nous sommes devenus le cinquième fournisseur français !

Notre mission ? Fournir une énergie moins chère et plus verte à tous les Français, ainsi que des solutions concrètes pour accélérer la transition écologique.

Nous plaçons l’innovation, la transparence et l’excellence au centre de notre modèle. Grâce à notre plateforme Kraken, notre expertise en data et nos équipes, nous accompagnons nos client·es vers un avenir à faible émission de CO₂, tout en leur permettant de réaliser des économies.

Nous déployons un modèle innovant de service client qui permet de proposer une expérience unique pour les clients et pour les équipes d'Octopus Energy. Convaincus que la relation client est un levier clé pour accélérer la transition énergétique, nous travaillons au quotidien pour allier excellence opérationnelle et impact positif.

La preuve ? Nous sommes la marque la mieux notée parmi les fournisseurs d’énergie Français sur Google Reviews et Trustpilot.

Nous pensons que l'énergie devrait être meilleure - pour les gens et pour l'environnement.

Octopus Energy est un groupe leader dans le domaine des technologies de l'énergie (EnTech), qui offre la meilleure expérience à ses clients grâce à la transparence, à l'honnêteté et à la simplicité. Nous sommes engagés pour la planète et pour un avenir à faible émission de CO2, notamment grâce à des investissements à long terme dans la production d'énergie renouvelable. Nous rendons l'énergie verte et flexible pour les consommateurs, avec des prix justes et transparents.

Notre révolution énergétique mondiale est notamment soutenue par Generation, le fond durable co-présidé par Al Gore. Pour mener à bien notre mission, nous avons besoin de personnes talentueuses et engagées, qui souhaitent mettre leurs compétences au service du plus grand défi auquel la planète est confrontée actuellement !

Ce que tu feras ?

Tu travailleras pour une entreprise qui lutte contre le changement climatique au quotidien : en tant que fournisseur, nous aidons les gens à utiliser des technologies plus vertes et les énergies renouvelables, tout en contribuant à faire évoluer le marché français vers un avenir plus sobre en carbone.

Nous avons beaucoup de challenges et de défis de conception difficiles à résoudre. Le marché français de l'énergie est compliqué, obsolète et lourd de processus - il y a énormément de modélisations de domaine que nous devons réussir. Une grande attention aux détails est ainsi essentielle.

Nous recherchons un·e développeur·se backend expérimenté·e pour rejoindre l'équipe tech d’Octopus Energy France. En pleine construction, l'équipe travaillera en étroite collaboration avec les différentes équipes métiers et produits françaises pour les aider à innover et poursuivre notre croissance dans les années à venir !

Notre vision “orientée client” est au cœur de tous nos projets et de toutes nos priorités et l'équipe sera elle-aussi organisée autour de cette vision, ce qui se traduit au quotidien par des priorités qui changent parfois et de l'ambiguïté. Mais il résulte de cette organisation de très nombreux retours et la possibilité d’avancer vite tout en continuant de tester différentes choses, ce qui est une source de motivation importante pour nous.

Tu pourras par exemple travailler sur des projets de pointe tels que les éco-sessions, qui a rapporté à nos client·es plusieurs dizaines de milliers d’euros en 2024, ou l’Octopus Fan Club, projet qui vise à récompenser les client·es vivant à proximité de nos éoliennes et que nous avons commencé à déployer en France. Si tu recherches un environnement dynamique et gratifiant où ton travail a un impact réel, alors tu t’intégreras parfaitement dans notre équipe.

Notre organisation et notre vision privilégient les hiérarchies “horizontales”, ainsi qu’une culture de travail ouverte et agile qui favorise l'innovation, la flexibilité et la créativité. Chez Octopus, nous embauchons des personnes formidables qui font avancer les choses, tout en restant eux-mêmes !

Nous recherchons une expérience/expertise dans les domaines suivants :

Python
Django (ou web framework équivalent)
Domain modelling
HTTP et REST APIs
Rédaction de code robuste et résistant aux erreurs
Celery et async processing
Postgres
Maitrise du Français et de l'Anglais

Une expérience dans les domaines suivants peut être un plus :

AWS
Terraform, Packer, Consul
React and Redux
Nous recherchons avant tout quelqu'un avec un intérêt pour la technologie en général et surtout qui soit "orienté résultat", capable de travailler avec de nombreux interlocuteurs et de faire preuve de réactivité et d'innovation.

Pourquoi tu vas adorer travailler chez nous ?

Tu te demandes quel est le salaire pour ce poste ? Demande-le nous ! Lors de notre premier contact, c’est un point que nous abordons toujours, car nous souhaitons réellement faire correspondre ton expérience avec le bon salaire. La raison pour laquelle nous n’en parlons pas ici est que nous avons un certain degré de flexibilité et que nous ne voudrions jamais que le salaire soit une raison pour laquelle quelqu’un.e ne postule pas chez Octopus - ce qui est plus important pour nous est de trouver le bon octofit !

Octopus Energy France a été classé quatrième sur plus de 200 entreprises au classement Great Place to Work ! Cela reflète bien notre engagement pour un environnement de travail épanouissant !

Nous sommes une organisation où les gens apprennent, décident et construisent plus rapidement. Où ils travaillent de manière autonome, avec des gens extraordinaires, sur des projets qui innovent. Intéressement au capital, flex-office, excellente mutuelle, forfait mobilité douce, prise en charge d’une partie du pass navigo au delà du minimum légal, et même des jours de congés spéciaux pour t’investir dans un projet associatif qui te tient à coeur… nous voulons que ton investissement soit récompensé par des avantages auxquels tu tiens vraiment !

Chez Octopus, nous cherchons des personnes foncièrement bienveillantes et empathiques. L’égalité des chances nous tient à cœur et nous veillons à offrir un environnement de travail inclusif et équitable. Nous t’invitons à postuler, quels que soient ton âge, genre, vie conjugale, couleur, handicap, grossesse ou parentalité, origine, convictions religieuses ou orientation sexuelle.

Si tout cela te stimule, postule dès maintenant !
