Help us use technology to make a big green dent in the universe!


Kraken powers some of the most innovative global developments in energy.


We’re a technology company focused on creating a smart, sustainable energy system. From optimizing renewable generation, creating a more intelligent grid and enabling utilities to provide excellent customer experiences, our operating system for energy is transforming the industry around the world in a way that benefits everyone.


It’s a really exciting time in energy. Help us make a real impact on shaping a better, more sustainable future.


As we enter the stage of rapid commercialisation and customer account growth, we have a number of exciting new offerings to launch to customers. We’re looking for an exceptional person to help us continuously deliver features that provide value to our customers.


Our ideal Customer Success Engineer would be an individual keen to solve real-world problems to deliver value to customers through answering questions, investigating technical queries, writing tutorials and guides, and marshalling requests to the development teams within a collaborative, community-based environment.


You will need to be technically sharp and people oriented; assisting with case management from customer queries we receive, and deep diving into our applications to diagnose issues, and reporting back on it.


We operate a highly agile development approach, giving wide scope to be involved with hands-on system-design, test driven development, deployment and operations.

 

What you'll do

  • Address all product-related queries from customers in a timely manner
  • Provide analysis of customers’ needs and suggest upgrades or additional features to meet their requirements
  • Training customers to use KrakenFlex products effectively and provide supporting documentation
  • Identify solutions, automate manual tasks and help our customers self serve.
  • Work closely with a range of teams from the full technology stack( electrical engineering, controls engineering, software engineering, project management and sales)
  • Provide technical expertise for customers to support pre-sales and post-sales processes, guiding prospective customers through their onboarding process
  • Visits to customer’s offices when necessary
  • Report on product performance and provide our Product & Development teams with customers’ feedback to help identify potential new features or products

What you'll need

  • Problem solving and analytical skills across technical, product and business questions, with an ability to gasp customers’ needs and suggest timely solutions
  • Experience driving technical conversations with technical and non-technical people
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • A drive to get things done in a collaborative, agile development environment, with an ability to effectively work across functions (e.g. sales, product, engineering)
  • 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 batteries 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

  • Technical background in a SaaS business with hands on experience in developing cloud-native applications
  • Demonstratable 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.
  • Familiarity with back-end and front-end software engineering practices

Why else you'll love it here

  • Wondering what the salary for this role is? Just ask us! On a call with one of our recruiters it's something we always cover as we genuinely want to match your experience with the correct salary. The reason why we don't advertise is because we honestly have a degree of flexibility and would never want salary to be a reason why someone doesn't apply to Octopus - what's more important to us is finding the right octofit!

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.
