JOLT is disrupting two industries at once, EV charging infrastructure and out-of-home advertising, across five markets, with a team that moves fast to test and deliver exciting new innovations. We don't operate like a traditional software company, and we don't want engineers who think like one.

We're building something genuinely new: an AI-native engineering culture where agentic systems, automated workflows, and intelligent tooling compound our output every week. The infrastructure we've built in the last year has transformed how the business operates. This role is about accelerating that, taking real ownership of the systems that power JOLT across markets, charging networks, and commercial partnerships.

This isn't a role for someone who just wants to close tickets. It's for a lateral thinker who looks at a manual process and immediately designs the system that makes it disappear, someone who builds like an owner and ships with confidence.

AI & Automation

Design, build, and maintain AI-driven workflows that automate real business processes - LLM integration, MCP servers, agentic pipelines, and automated ops tooling. You own technical execution end-to-end, guided by product direction.

Engineering Operations

Own monitoring, incident triage, backend production issues, cloud resource management, and back-office support for our field ops team. Autonomy to fix, automate, and improve as you go.

Cloud Infrastructure

Manage and evolve our cloud infrastructure. Keep things running, scale what needs scaling, and build new infrastructure with a bias toward simplicity and maintainability. Stack-agnostic - we care about engineering judgment over familiarity with any specific toolset.

Full Stack Contribution

Contribute across the stack when the team needs it - debugging front-end issues, supporting releases, or picking up work that doesn't fit neatly into a lane. Customer-facing app experience is a bonus, not the focus.

Stakeholder Communication

Proactively communicate with cross-functional stakeholders who aren't engineers - operations leads, commercial teams, external partners. Explain what you're building, why it matters, and what the tradeoffs are without being asked.

Required Skills

  • Cloud infrastructure experience - depth of understanding over specific stack
  • AI agentic software development (LLM integration, MCP, tool-use)
  • CI/CD pipeline management
  • Comfortable in a Linux environment
  • Full-stack capability - able to contribute across the stack
  • Strong written and verbal communication (non-negotiable)

Benefits

Employees will be provided with access to benefits in accordance with JOLT's employee policies. These benefits include but are not limited to:

  • Medical
  • Dental
  • Vision
  • Life Insurance
  • Long-Term Disability
  • 401(k)
  • Parental Leave

Work Eligibility

Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. JOLT is unable to provide visa sponsorship for this role at this time.

Accessibility & Accommodations

If you require a reasonable accommodation during the application or interview process, please contact us. We are happy to support applicants with disabilities throughout the hiring process.

Equal Employment Opportunity

JOLT is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and accessible workplace for all employees.

About JOLT Charge

Company Overview

Name

JOLT Charge

Headquarters

Sydney, NSW, Australia

Founded

2018

Size

Employee count is not publicly disclosed, and revenue figures for 2023 or later are not available as JOLT remains a private company (source: cbinsights.com).

What They Do

JOLT Charge is pioneering the electric vehicle (EV) charging landscape in Australia, having launched as the country's first free EV charging network. The company began its operations with on-street fast chargers in Adelaide in January 2021, featuring 16 stations and plans for significant expansion into Sydney through a partnership with Ausgrid (source: carexpert.com.au). JOLT's innovative approach integrates free 7 kWh charging sessions, which provide approximately 45 km of range, with a focus on renewable energy sources. This initiative not only saves drivers up to $1,100 annually but also addresses range anxiety, a common concern among EV users (source: cbinsights.com). Furthermore, JOLT has evolved to include programmatic digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising on its charging stations, enhancing user engagement through app-based access and data analytics for mobility insights (source: joltcharge.com).

Projects & Track Record

JOLT Charge has made significant strides in establishing its EV charging infrastructure, with notable projects including the initial rollout of 16 charging stations in Adelaide and the completion of a 32-panel DOOH network by July 2021. The company activated its first roadside kiosks in Sydney in September 2021, in collaboration with Ausgrid, marking a critical step in its expansion strategy (source: joltcharge.com). Looking ahead, JOLT aims to scale its operations to over 5,000 public chargers across Australia within the next 5-10 years, powered entirely by renewable energy sources. This ambitious plan includes ongoing operations in major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Adelaide, as well as international expansions into New Zealand, Canada, and the UK (source: carexpert.com.au). The company has also formed key partnerships with major investors like BlackRock, which has committed $100 million to support the rollout of its charging network (source: cbinsights.com).

Recent Developments

In the past two years, JOLT Charge has successfully secured a $135.07 million loan round, bringing its total funding to $201.37 million, with BlackRock continuing to play a pivotal role as a key backer amid the company's global expansion plans (source: cbinsights.com). As of April 28, 2025, JOLT was reported to be seeking additional funding while advancing its international growth strategy (source: cbinsights.com). The company has also achieved significant milestones in programmatic DOOH trading across key verticals, further solidifying its position in the market (source: joltcharge.com).

Working There

JOLT Charge offers a variety of roles across different departments, including sales, programmatic operations, engineering, and data analytics. The company is actively hiring for positions such as Head of Sales and Programmatic Director, reflecting its growth trajectory and expansion into new markets like Canada and the UK (source: joltcharge.com). The company culture emphasizes a purpose-driven mission focused on making EV transport accessible, leveraging data for site selection, and fostering innovative partnerships with advertisers. Employees are likely to benefit from a work environment that prioritizes sustainability and environmental impact, although specific documented benefits are not detailed in available sources (source: vistarmedia.com).
