Full Stack Engineer - Internal Tools

The Company  

OctaiPipe is a technology company on a mission to transform energy optimisation in data centres through decentralised artificial intelligence (AI). Our approach is built on a simple yet powerful idea: instead of moving data to a central location, we move algorithms to the data, enabling learning directly at the source. By leveraging novel federated AI technology, intelligence can be developed collaboratively across many distributed devices.

OctaiPipe is developing the Advisor for Cooling Efficiency (ACE), an AI-powered performance agent deployed on our revolutionary platform to deliver significant improvements in data centre efficiency.

We are a young, ambitious company with a vision to bring intelligence across the full spectrum of the IoT ecosystem. Following a recent successful funding round, we are growing rapidly and entering an exciting phase of acceleration as we apply our technology to one of the most critical challenges in modern infrastructure: energy-efficient data centre cooling.

The Role  

OctaiPipe’s R&D team has four categories: Platform, ACE, Surrogate Modelling and Internal Tools. You’ll join the Internal Tools team, a small group of engineers building the systems that power the deployment, operation and support of our flagship ACE product. 

You'll design and implement production-grade internal tools – from web apps and APIs to cloud infrastructure – that enable the delivery and scaling of ACE. In this role, you'll have end-to-end ownership of features and direct impact on how we scale our product delivery. 

Duties and Responsibilities 

Collaborate with the VP of Product and the Internal Tools Category Lead on product and feature design, helping build robust tools, services and processes 

Estimate and implement features following Agile methodology 

Mentor junior team members as needed 

Provide support with customer issues as required 

Your Profile 

You're an experienced software engineer: energetic, motivated, and a natural problem-solver. You have strong interpersonal skills and are a self-starter looking to join a scale-up where you'll have the space and opportunity to help shape both our futures. You want to work somewhere you can have a meaningful impact and grow alongside the company. 

Technically, you have at least 5 years' experience in software development, ideally in a product-focused role. You have strong fundamentals in building, deploying and maintaining production applications, and you value code quality, maintainability and architectural soundness over quick fixes. 

Core Technical Skills: 

Python development with emphasis on clean, maintainable code: object-oriented design, type hinting, separation of concerns, and established best practices 

Full-stack web application development - building and hosting production-ready applications 

Containerisation and orchestration - Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud deployment (Azure and AWS preferred) 

Database design and SQL - schema design, ERD modelling, and query optimisation 

Automation - Linux and bash scripting, comfortable architecting complex automated workloads 

Git/GitHub and version control workflows 

Highly Desirable: 

Experience with Streamlit or similar Python-based web frameworks 

Experience with a low-level or systems programming language (e.g. Rust, C, C++) 

Basic frontend development skills (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) 

Networking fundamentals and web application architecture 

SaaS or managed services experience 

Understanding of IoT devices in industrial, energy or healthcare contexts (data center experience particularly valued)
