Senior Full Stack Software Engineer (frontend-focused)

Role Overview

ChargeLab is seeking a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with a strong focus on front-end development to join one of our dynamic software development pods. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who excels in React and has backend experience with Java or object-oriented programming within a microservice, event-driven architecture. You will drive high-quality, rapid releases while providing technical leadership within your pod and across the engineering team.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll work in a cross-functional pod of 5–8 team members, reporting to an Engineering Manager. You'll collaborate closely with product, design, and architecture teams, and mentor engineers both within your team and across the organization. Your primary focus will be owning features end-to-end in our SaaS software, with a strong emphasis on front-end development.

Your primary KPI will be the quality of code shipped by you and your team, particularly on the frontend. Additionally, you will be measured on the speed and efficiency of your team.

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 efficiently manage thousands of EV chargers.

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 lunches every Tuesday and Thursday. Our office also gives you direct face-to-face access to our VP of Product, CTO, and CEO.

Engineering team members are encouraged to maintain a hybrid work schedule. Most developers come to the office for quarterly planning and bi-weekly Thursday all-hands meetings. Otherwise, engineering team members can work from home for their daily deep work. We provide a stipend to purchase work-from-home equipment.

Twice a year, we host a three-day onsite event called ChargeFest. All remote team members fly to Toronto for this event, which requires in-person attendance.
