ev.energy set up in 2018 with a simple aim - to make electric vehicle charging simpler, greener, and cheaper for everyone. Drivers download our app and charge their vehicle overnight; and, in the background, we’re ingesting real-time data and using our proprietary smart-charging algorithm to align charging sessions with energy from renewable sources. This reduces carbon emissions caused by EV charging by as much as 70%.
This is a growing industry, with growing demand for our solution - a third of new cars by 2030 will be electric. Simultaneously, there’s increasing strain on the power grid (power outages have already jumped by 64% in the last decade in the USA). We are already working with over 30 utilities in the US, Canada and Europe, offering a way to reduce demand on the grid.
To achieve this we’ve brought together a team of over 100 people, bringing expertise from previous roles at National Grid, Tesla, Amazon, Arcadia, and Chargepoint; we’ve secured over 50m USD from leading VCs in the automotive and energy space including National Grid Partners, WEX Venture Capital, Energy Impact Partners and JLR’s InMotion Ventures. Come help us drive change for the better.
The role
ev.energy’s smart charging software makes it simpler and cheaper for EV drivers to charge whilst reducing carbon emissions and helping balance the electricity network. We are the market leader in providing grid flexibility services through EV charging, making electric vehicles a valuable resource for the grid and advancing the mission to decarbonise both the transport and electricity sector.
You will create solutions to deliver automated, reliable and scalable demand side response services for network system operators and utilities. You will work on enhancing our smart charging technology and third-party API integrations.
Our tech stack includes Python, Django, PostgreSQL, and AWS. We use Datadog and Sentry for observability. We focus on developing high quality code, following a common set of Engineering Principles, and believe strongly in being customer-focused in everything we do.
What are we looking for?
Commercial experience with Python 3 (we’re on v3.11 currently)
An excellent understanding of APIs
An excellent understanding of relational databases (we use PostgreSQL)
An understanding of oAuth and identity management
Commercial experience with Django (we’re on v5 currently)
Great communication skills to collaborate well with a remote team
Confidence digging into challenging problems, with an analytical and investigative mind
Experience with demand side response and grid services is desirable but not essential
How will we support you?
Work remotely and work well - we'll provide the tools you need to do your best (including a Macbook Pro), and can provide access to co-working spaces
Access to conferences, meet-ups and training through our L&D allowance
A structured career progression framework and advancement opportunities
Great benefits - including health insurance, 401(k) or pension, paid parental leave
