Engineering Manager - Energy Management

ev.energy set up in 2018 to make electric vehicle charging greener simpler and cheaper. We do this by ingesting realtime data from various sources which partnered with our smartcharging algorithm means we align charging sessions with energy from renewable sources helping drivers avoid charging their car at peak times using fossilfuel derived energy.

EVs are growing in popularity; a third of new cars sold by 2030 will be electric. At the same time power outages in the US have already grown 64% from the previous decade and the rise of EV ownership will likely cause further strain. Solutions like ours offer a way to reduce this demand on the grid benefitting utilities as well as drivers and the environment.

Were looking for more missiondriven and talented folk to join the team working remotely in either Europe or North America to drive change for the better.
