About Traktara - www.traktara.com
Traktara’s mission is to speed up electricity grid connections for critical infrastructure like renewables, battery storage and data centres. We do this by ingesting, tracking and linking data across four domains:
- Grid connections
- Planning applications
- Route-to-market contracts (e.g. the UK’s Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme)
- Corporate Ownership.
Our data platform helps investors and project developers track changes to competitor projects, assess the viability of their grid connections, and simulate future grid connection allocation rounds.
Our Founder and Managing Director, Ed Birkett, has over ten years experience in the UK energy sector, and is one of leading voices in debates about how to connect projects to the grid.
Traktara was founded ~6 months ago, and is already used by ~15 of the UK leading energy project development and investment companies. We’re looking for an enthusiastic and motivated engineer to help us scale the Traktara platform.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you’ll do:
You’ll work closely with our Managing Director and Lead Software Engineer, gain experience across the product, and build new features from early on. You’ll also help keep things running, investigating and fixing problems when they arise, including providing cover for the lead engineer.
Example responsibilities:
- Build new features for our customer-facing application, internal tools, and data platform.
- Learn how our data pipelines collect, transform, validate and publish data, gradually taking responsibility for maintaining them.
- Add new data sources and adapt existing pipelines when external APIs or file formats change.
- Write tests and maintain practical documentation so the team can share development and operational responsibilities.
About you:
Interest in the energy sector is a plus but not essential.
You’re excited by working in a start-up environment with fluid roles, where you can take on new challenges across the full stack and want to become a key player in a growing organisation.
You have 1-3 years of experience building web applications and reliable data pipelines, whether at work, during an internship or through your own projects.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You have practical Python, JavaScript and SQL skills, and understand how web applications fit together.
You use AI tools to help you develop, and take care to understand, review and test the code they produce.
You have the right to work in the UK (unfortunately we cannot offer visa sponsorship for this role).
Our tech stack:
Python, Flask, React, TypeScript/JavaScript and PostgreSQL, with DuckDB and pandas for data processing. We also use Docker and DigitalOcean.
Experience processing data with Python, integrating external APIs or building data pipelines would be useful, but isn’t required. You’ll learn how our platform works alongside our Lead Software Engineer.
You don’t need to know the whole stack to apply.

Please send your CV and a short covering note on why you’re interested in working at Traktara.
Assessment process:
We intend to hold an initial interview and a final interview, with the final interview being in-person in central/SW London.
As part of the assessment process, we may ask you to complete a short technical challenge that’s relevant to the type of work you’d do at Traktara.
The role is available either to start immediately or following your notice period, if applicable.
