Role
Who you are
- Experience in an engineering management or technical leadership role, with the ability to influence, persuade and motivate teams of engineers
- An understanding of either backend or mobile engineering (we’re happy to consider candidates who have worked with technologies outside of our stack)
- Excellent ability to establish trust and build relationships with engineers, peers and stakeholders across the business; you’ll be able to communicate clearly and succinctly
- Previous experience building high-performing and autonomous teams, having created metrics to track performance rather than rely on micromanagement
- Previous experience conducting (and ideally crafting or shaping) performance reviews and other frameworks
- Product-mindedness - you understand the trade-offs between quality and delivering fast and can be pragmatic, with the ability to encourage pragmatism within the team
- An understanding of software development best practices
- Demonstrated commercial and business awareness - you’ll be able to articulate the purpose of your team’s work in the eyes of the customer and the wider business
- Interest or experience in the EV or green energy sector
What the job involves
- You’ll join a cross-functional squad of around 7-8 engineers, providing support alongside Technical Leads to create a high-performing and efficient team capable of solving problems quickly in a fast-paced and dynamic environment
- You’ll support and encourage the team as a whole and individuals: encouraging their self-development, celebrating their achievements, and recognising strengths, as well as fostering a culture of helpful feedback and candour
- Organising and conducting weekly 1.1s with team members, setting clear directions around career progression and performance expectations and completing performance reviews biannually
- Growing the team - you’ll be responsible for raising the hiring bar not only for your team but for the overall organisation
- Communicating team goals and vision to the wider organisation
- Working alongside the Technical Lead and Product Owner in prioritisation of work, removing blockers and driving efficiency and delivery capability
- Contributing to best practices around documentation and engineering leadership within the company
Our take
Properly managing electric vehicle charging is critical to a low carbon future. With a growing numbers of EV rolling out over the world, ev.energy is tackling the unique set of pain points that exists for EV users.
The company has created an easy-to-use app to support users with each EV charging session. The app optimises and schedules charging times relative to grid demand, helping EV owners avoid peak tariffs, save money, prevent over-congestion on the grid and use the greenest electricity possible.
Strategic moves, such as a 2022 partnership struck with Easee, combining ev.energy's software with Easee's domestic chargers, indicate the company's continuous work to optimise user experience. while maximising the use of renewable energy. A Hypervolt charging station partnership in 2025, and a California Energy Commission grant of $41 million in 2024 show that ev.energy will remain a major player in the green energy software market.
