What you'll do

We want to help change the world. Origami is embracing a real technical challenge to build a technology platform at the forefront of a massively exciting green transformation in the global energy sector.

We’re developing a software platform that delivers a suite of interoperable and configurable cloud-based software product modules to help our customers meet the challenges of increasing complexity and volatility head on. Energy companies need to optimise physical and financial decisions in real-time - improving their trading performance, unlocking exciting new customer propositions, and investing in low carbon assets to accelerate the energy transition.

Origami is on a mission to help our customers make better, faster decisions within an energy system increasingly dominated by renewables. With renewables supplying a much higher proportion of total energy, we are seeing an explosion in physical and market volatility, and the industry is struggling to keep up.
