Kraken Utilities

Our tech platform ‘Kraken’ is already licensed to support 55 million customer accounts globally, and we aim to serve 100 million by 2027. Kraken is the most AI-driven, innovative, forward-thinking platform for energy management. From optimising resources to delivering cost-effective, exceptional customer experiences through advanced Customer Information Systems (CIS), billing, meter data management, CRM, and AI-driven communications. 

We’re now charging the Kraken platform to other utility industries (Water and Broadband) and have created a new team called - Kraken Utilities. Over the last 3 years we have built this team from scratch to re-architect, design, and develop our Kraken software platform to solve complex industry wide problems within the water and broadband sectors (such as customer experience & water leak detection).

The Kraken Utilities team is in a very exciting growth phase, and has already signed six key clients: Severn Trent, Leep, Portsmouth Water, Essential Energy, TalkTalk, and Cuckoo. We are currently 120+ people strong globally.

The Role

We are building out our Machine Learning & AI capability within Kraken Utilities and are looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to help design, build and scale ML-powered products already running in production. This is a hands-on, product-focused role. While you will bring strong ML fundamentals, the reality of our environment is that ML work is tightly coupled with software engineering, production systems, and real customer use cases. Many of our current products are GenAI-driven rather than model-training heavy, but we value engineers who understand the full ML lifecycle and can apply those skills as our products evolve. You will work closely with product managers, designers, software engineers and other ML practitioners, contribute to technical direction and best practices, and take ownership of complex problems across our suite of AI and ML products.
