Job Description

How you can contribute to gridX

Do stuff that matters - become part of gridX and help digitalize the energy industry with us, making renewable energy accessible and affordable everywhere.

Join the EVCI engineering team, which builds state-of-the-art energy management solutions focused on optimizing energy consumption at charging stations throughout Europe.

The team is responsible for creating the EVCI product at gridX, which means working on two major components: On the gridBox, our local controller, we integrate rule-based approaches and advanced optimization techniques to offer smart charging solutions to operators of EV charging stations for our public parking, fast-charging, and logistics customers. Connected to this, we also own backend components that enable configuration, cloud EMS integrations, and interfaces for our admin dashboard.

Your role split - Technology meets Leadership: In this position, you will combine deep technical hands-on engineering with team empowerment. We live a 70/30 split: You will spend 70% of your time as an individual contributor close to the technology (coding and architecture) and 30% of your time taking over leadership responsibilities to help your team grow.
