We can't hire everyone… but we can help them shine somewhere brilliant.
At Octopus, we're lucky to attract some incredibly talented humans. And while we can’t bring every talented person into our team, we can help them land somewhere that’s just as mission-driven. That’s why we’re sharing opportunities from MOPO – a company we’ve proudly backed through a strategic investment.
MOPO is transforming access to clean, affordable energy across Sub-Saharan Africa with its pioneering solar battery technology. As part of our partnership to accelerate global electrification and leapfrog dirty fossil fuels, we’re supporting their hunt for exceptional talent. If you share our passion for tech-driven climate solutions, this could be your chance to make a serious impact.
If you’re motivated by purpose, adventure, and the chance to shape a high-impact business, MOPO offers the perfect opportunity. This role is your chance to help build a mission-driven scale-up, backed by Octopus Energy, revolutionising access to clean energy and transport in Africa.
Joining our growing team, you'll be working to match our ambition to radically reimagine transport and energy in Africa through the development of the MOPO Platform - the digital backbone that powers our energy distribution network across the continent.
You'll be working across the full stack using Python/Django, Vue.js, and MariaDB to build and maintain the platform that manages our solar hubs, battery networks, and the thousands of customers we serve daily. It's an exciting and varied challenge where your code directly impacts lives and livelihoods.
We're looking for a senior candidate to join our team to add capacity for our rapidly scaling platform and to help steer the direction of our technical architecture.
