Electric Era was founded to actualize the transition to a 100% renewable energy powered world. We are a high tech, high intensity company founded and operated by engineers on a mission to revolutionize the world's electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

The Job & Role

We do things differently at Electric Era. If you’ve ever wanted to manage a software team, its product, but also own and be exposed to business-level decision-making we have that here. Everyone, from our junior engineers to our CEO, has a strong ownership mentality. We have a small, lean, hard-charging team; we can’t afford not to have people obsessed with owning engineering and business outcomes.

If you want your stuff to see the light of day fast, we have that here. No miles of red tape or bureaucracy. If it’s important, it happens. If it’s easily messed up, it’s simplified, then given a process. If the process is onerous, it’s deleted. We don’t have time to sit around, so you can guarantee that things move fast.

The best idea wins; everyone can and is expected to contribute to good system design, to challenge bad requirements and decision decisions, and always move the puck forward.

Electric Era is looking for strong engineering managers that want everything described above. You will be leader of a world-class team that owns the complete product life cycle deliverable from ideation, development, implementation, testing and troubleshooting real problems in the field.
