Who we're looking for
Before we begin, please don’t rule yourself out even if you don’t tick every box. Research shows that women and others in underrepresented groups tend only to apply when they tick all the boxes. We prioritise hiring capable humans over ticking boxes – so if this role resonates with you, please apply.
We’re looking for someone comfortable wearing multiple hats, as each day can pose different problems that require creative problem-solving; for someone driven, pragmatic, thorough and can hold themselves accountable.
You’re a product-minded engineer who loves collaborating across teams, is eager to help define the Chargefox future (product and technology) and can coach future engineers.
You’ll have experience with Ruby, including Rails and AWS, and have helped architect and build internet-scale systems. Ideally, you’ll also have some experience with React Native mobile applications. As a bonus, you may have experience in other languages and frameworks like Go, Node.js, Lambda and IaC (Infrastructure-as-code).
How we like to work
At Chargefox, we are big believers in a pragmatic, sustainable and agile approach to software development.
Our office is in Melbourne, and we have a flexible employment arrangement. You will be able to work remotely, either locally or inter-state.
Our company values are important to us, and we look for people who align with them, including, Sustainability (First for a reason!), Customer Focus, Safety, Transparency, Integrity and Collaboration.
Why us?
We’re a growing scaleup, positively tackling climate change by stimulating EV growth and powering them with renewable energy.
We’re backed by well-established and well-known Australian businesses, with investment from the Australian motoring clubs (RACV, NRMA, RACQ, RAC, RAA, RACT) via their wholly owned Australian Motoring Services (AMS).
