The energy industry is undergoing the largest transformation since industrialisation at an unprecedented rate of change and we are positioning ourselves to be at the heart of that change.
Our aim is to be the leading global provider of solutions that enable customers to release £30bn of value per annum from distributed energy resources (DERs). We are building a Software as a Service (SaaS) subscription business with a global addressable market of £2.4 billion per annum, by digitally connecting hundreds of thousands of DERs with energy markets.
We have already attained a market leading position and KrakenFlex is a recognised thought leader and innovator in the industry. Our efforts have not gone unnoticed and we are pleased to announce that we now have the full support and backing of Octopus Energy, an award-winning UK energy supplier who share our passion and values.
Our ideal Customer Success Engineer would be an individual keen to solve real-world problems to deliver value to customers through answering questions, performing root cause analysis and marshalling requests to the development teams within a collaborative, community-based environment.
You will need to be technically sharp, naturally inquisitive and people oriented; responsible for case management from customer queries we receive and deep diving into our applications to diagnose issues.

- Provide technical expertise for customers to support post-sales processes
- Onboarding customers through a mix of waterfall and agile processes
- (Optional) contribute to our 24x7 support model my taking part in our (paid) on call rota
What you'll need
- Problem solving and analytical skills
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- A drive to get things done in a collaborative environment
- A proven ability to multitask and perform well in a fast-paced environment
- An interest in learning about the electricity system and how grid scale Renewable energy sources to keep the lights on and the network stable. There are no experts, this area is changing so you’ll be learning what a flexible electricity system is along with us.
- A keen eye for detail
It would be great if you had
- Familiarity with an object oriented programming language, back end config and interacting with APIs
- Technical background in a SaaS business with hands on experience in developing cloud-native applications
- Demonstrable Technical Account Management, Customer Support experience or Sales Engineering experience or equivalent experience - developers interested in working directly with customers are highly encouraged to apply.

Ideally you will be based in the Greater Manchester and happy to come into the office a couple of days per week! But we appreciate that things have changed and flexibility is at the top of everyone's agenda, so if you would rather be remote please let us know.
If this sounds like you then we'd love to hear from you.
Studies have shown that some groups of people, like women, are less likely to apply to a role unless they meet 100% of the job requirements.
