Octopus Energy Group - Data Engineer
Requirements
• Strong SQL and Python skills, used daily for pipeline development, data modelling, and automation. • Experience with modern data stack tooling: a cloud data platform (Databricks preferred), and version control (Git/GitHub). • A solid understanding of data modelling, warehousing patterns, and ETL/ELT design. • To be comfortable working with Postgres or similar relational databases. • Clear communication - you can explain a data model to a fund manager and discuss trade-offs with an engineer. • A bias toward shipping: you’d rather get something working and iterate than spend weeks in design. • Full-stack development experience - particularly with Streamlit, FastAPI, or HTMX. • Experience building and managing REST APIs, including authentication, rate limiting, and documentation. • Familiarity with renewable energy, infrastructure investment, or financial services data. • Experience evaluating and adopting AI/ML tooling to augment engineering workflows.
Responsibilities
• Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines in Databricks, ensuring data is reliable, timely, and well-documented. • Own and evolve our Databricks models - define schemas, enforce testing, and keep the warehouse clean. • Automate manual data processes using Python, replacing spreadsheets and ad-hoc workflows with robust, repeatable jobs. • Build performance dashboards and reports in Streamlit and HTMX (FastAPI) that Finance, Asset Management, and Fund Management actually use. • Integrate internal and third-party systems via REST APIs, improving data accessibility across the business. • Champion data quality - implement validation, monitoring, and governance practices that give stakeholders confidence in the numbers. • Collaborate directly with non-technical teams to understand their problems and translate them into data solutions.
