KrakenGrid

At Kraken Grid, we’re passionate about building products that solve problems. Our grid monitoring and analytics platform supports grid operators and utilities.

Our technology platform offers data collection, analytics, and real‑time monitoring services, including fault management, power quality, and power flow modelling, to Distribution System Operators (DSOs or DNOs) looking to digitally transform their operations. Our services enable full grid visibility, allowing operators to better and more efficiently predict, manage, and operate their infrastructure amidst the rapid integration of Decentralised Energy Resources.

The energy industry is undergoing the largest transformation since industrialization at an unprecedented rate of change, and we are positioning ourselves to be at the heart of that change.

As part of Kraken Grid, your main mission will be to help define new and improve our existing grid analytics solutions. We are looking for individuals who love to engage with interesting client’s problems and the passion to build and shape the future within a collaborative, highly agile development, and community‑based environment.

What you’ll do
  • Design, implement, and test innovative computer science solutions applicable to power systems from the transmission network to electrical distribution grids.
  • Develop and test power system algorithms for custom projects.
  • Write technical requirements and specification documents for product development.
  • Implementation of the core algorithm in Kraken Grid solutions.
What you’ll need
  • PhD or master’s in electrical power systems engineering, with at least 3‑5 years of work experience.
  • Hands‑on and analytical approach to work.
  • Curious, eager to learn. Initiative spirit, self‑organized and attentive to detail.
  • High analytical mind to solve complex issues. Synthetic thinking to design clean solutions.
  • Hands‑on and demonstrated ability to work as part of a team.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills in English (French is a plus).
  • Excellent knowledge and analytical analysis of electrical power distribution grids.
  • Experience in performance evaluation of algorithms applied to power systems.
  • Expert in programming in Python – other languages can be a plus.
  • Experience in FastAPI micro‑services development is a plus.
  • Knowledge using Git and Linux are desirable.

If this sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you.

Data Science Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into data science in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re far from alone. Across the UK, businesses are investing in data science talent to turn data into insight, support better decisions and unlock competitive advantage. But with all the hype about machine learning, Python, AI and data unicorns, it can be hard to separate real opportunities from noise. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check on data science careers for mid-life career switchers — what roles really exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining typically takes, what UK recruiters actually look for and how to craft a compelling career pivot story. Whether you come from finance, marketing, operations, research, project management or another field entirely, there are meaningful pathways into data science — and age itself is not the barrier many people fear.

How to Write a Data Science Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Data science plays a critical role in how organisations across the UK make decisions, build products and gain competitive advantage. From forecasting and personalisation to risk modelling and experimentation, data scientists help translate data into insight and action. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right data science candidates. Job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the mix of analytical skill, business understanding and communication ability the role actually requires. At the same time, experienced data scientists skip over adverts that feel vague, inflated or misaligned with real data science work. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the quality and clarity of the job advert. Data scientists are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and immature data practices. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and serious intent. This guide explains how to write a data science job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a strong data employer.

Maths for Data Science Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for data science jobs in the UK, the maths can feel like a moving target. Job descriptions say “strong statistical knowledge” or “solid ML fundamentals” but they rarely tell you which topics you will actually use day to day. Here’s the truth: most UK data science roles do not require advanced pure maths. What they do require is confidence with a tight set of practical topics that come up repeatedly in modelling, experimentation, forecasting, evaluation, stakeholder comms & decision-making. This guide focuses on the only maths most data scientists keep using: Statistics for decision making (confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, power, uncertainty) Probability for real-world data (base rates, noise, sampling, Bayesian intuition) Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Calculus & gradients (enough to understand optimisation & backprop) Optimisation & model evaluation (loss functions, cross-validation, metrics, thresholds) You’ll also get a 6-week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can follow without getting pulled into unnecessary theory.
