ChargeLab is looking for a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer to join one of our dynamic development pods. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who excels in React and has substantial backend expertise, particularly with Java or another object-oriented programming language, within a microservice, event-driven architecture. You will lead the charge in delivering high-quality, rapid releases, providing technical guidance both within your pod and across the broader engineering team.
In this role, you'll be part of a cross-functional pod of 5–8 engineers, reporting to an Engineering Manager. You'll collaborate closely with product, design, and architecture teams, while also mentoring engineers on your team and throughout the engineering organization. Your focus will be on improving the quality and frequency of high-impact feature releases.
The backend will be built on a distributed microservice architecture using Java, while the frontend will be developed in React.
Your primary KPI will center around the quality of the code you and your team ship, as well as the speed and efficiency of your team's output.
Company details
ChargeLab is the Android of EV charging. We don’t build hardware. Instead, we partner with leading manufacturers like Eaton, ABB, and Siemens to bundle their EV chargers with ChargeLab’s software. Our end customers include building owners, convenience stores, utilities, and fleets. They leverage our charging station management system (CSMS) and open APIs to manage thousands of EV chargers more efficiently.
By 2030, most new vehicles sold in North America will be EVs. ChargeLab has raised US $30 million to build the world’s best software for managing large networks of EV chargers. We currently have 65 full-time employees, including over 40 team members in engineering and product.
Hybrid work
ChargeLab has a beautiful office in Etobicoke with ample parking, subway access, free snacks/coffee, quiet meeting rooms, and company-provided lunch every Thursday. Our office also gives you direct face-to-face access to our VP of Engineering, CTO, and CEO.
Engineering team members are encouraged to maintain a hybrid work schedule. Most of our developers come to the office for quarterly planning and bi-weekly Thursday all-hands meetings. Otherwise, engineering team members are welcome to work from home for their daily deep work. We provide a stipend to purchase work-from-home equipment.
Twice a year, we host a 3-day onsite called ChargeFest. All remote team members fly to Toronto for this event. In-person attendance of ChargeFest is mandatory.
