We can't hire everyone… but we can help them shine somewhere brilliant.
At Octopus, we're lucky to attract some incredibly talented humans. And while we can’t bring every talented person into our team, we can help them land somewhere that’s just as mission-driven. That’s why we’re sharing opportunities from MOPO; a company we’ve proudly backed through a strategic investment.
MOPO is transforming access to clean, affordable energy across Sub-Saharan Africa with its pioneering solar battery technology. As part of our partnership to accelerate global electrification and leapfrog dirty fossil fuels, we’re supporting their hunt for exceptional talent. If you share our passion for tech-driven climate solutions, this could be your chance to make a serious impact.
Joining their Sheffield-based team, you'll be leading their embedded software engineering efforts to match our ambition to radically reimagine transport and energy in Africa through the development of intelligent battery systems that power our energy distribution network across the continent.
You'll be managing a team of embedded software engineers who design and test firmware that runs in our MOPO Batteries, working with ESP32 microcontrollers to build the embedded systems that manage battery performance, communication, and diagnostics. You'll provide technical leadership, set architectural direction, and ensure delivery of robust firmware solutions that directly enable thousands of customers to access reliable, renewable energy while supporting our expansion into e-mobility solutions. It's an exciting and varied challenge where your leadership drives real-world impact.
They're looking for an experienced technical leader to build and grow their embedded software team, establish best practices, and steer the direction of their firmware development as they scale across the continent.
