Senior Electrical Engineer (Integrations)

🐙 Kraken Generation Flex

The energy industry is undergoing the largest transformation since industrialisation, at an unprecedented rate of change and we are positioning ourselves at the heart of it. In Germany, home to the largest electricity market in Europe and a roadmap toward Net Zero by 2045, we are scaling rapidly to integrate Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) into the grid.

Kraken is recognised as a thought leader and innovator. We are building a SaaS business that digitally connects hundreds of thousands of DERs with energy markets. As we expand our footprint in Germany and the wider European market, we are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to lead our regional technical market-access and integration efforts.
