[Hiring] Data Visualisation Engineer @Octopus Energy Group

Role Description

At Octopus Tech, you’ll have real ownership, variety, and the chance to shape products that make a tangible difference in people’s lives – lowering bills, enabling greener living, and delivering experiences customers genuinely love. You’ll work side by side with teams across marketing, operations, and data, and see the impact of your work in the real world, fast.

We are looking for a Data Visualisation Engineer to join our team. This is a rare chance to join a small, trusted team with a big remit. You'll work directly alongside senior leadership, own projects end to end, and produce work that directly shapes public understanding and support for the energy transition.

Day to day you'll be working closely with teams like marketing, policy, and press, turning complex energy data into clear stories. Projects are varied and the pipeline moves fast, so you should be someone who gets energised by a new challenge landing on your plate without warning.

On the technical side, we predominantly work in:

• React and Next.js
• Mapbox
• WebGL
• Blender for 3D and animation work

Beyond that, we use whatever tools the job calls for, and you'll regularly find yourself picking up something new.

We're looking for someone who can do more than produce charts and maps. You should be:

• Confident in extracting narratives from raw data
• Understanding of how to pick the right visualisation techniques for the given story and audience
• Happy working independently
• Willing to make decisions and take the initiative

Geospatial experience is desirable, and some familiarity with Python is a bonus given how closely we work with the data science team. We care more about how you think and communicate than whether you already know the energy sector.

Things we’ve worked on

• How we built a realtime public dashboard for Cosy heat pumps in two weeks
• Balance Forecast, helping customers understand their predicted future energy costs
• Animated map showing the charging patterns of EVs managed by Intelligent Octopus
• Octo House, a WebGL experience showing some of the low-carbon tech for homes
• Octoplus SNAP!, a browser-based mobile game used to give away three new EVs

Benefits

• Once you're in the interview process with one of our recruiters, it's something we always cover as we genuinely want to match your experience with the correct salary.
• Octopus Energy Group is a unique culture where people learn, decide, and build quicker.
• We want your hard work to be rewarded with perks you actually care about!
• Named the UK's top company to work for in 2025.
• Ranked in the top ten in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026.
• Our Group CEO, Greg, has recorded a podcast about our culture and how we empower our people.
• Placed in the top 10 companies for senior leadership.
