ChargeLab is looking for a Staff Engineer to set technical direction across engineering and to shape how we design, validate, and deliver software at scale. This role sits on the Engineering Scale track, which owns patterns, frameworks, and specialist depth across the organization. You'll report to the VP of Engineering rather than to an Engineering Manager, which keeps your time horizon long and your attention on architecture rather than sprint assignment. You'll lead the Architecture Working Group's agenda and roadmap, and you'll partner with Product and customer-facing teams to turn business goals into technically sound plans. ChargeLab is the Android of EV charging. 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. 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. ChargeLab has a beautiful office in Etobicoke with ample parking, subway access, free snacks and coffee, and quiet meeting rooms. Being in the office also means direct, face-to-face access to our Executive Leadership Team.



Engineering team members work from the office on Mondays and Thursdays, when we provide lunch for the team. The rest of the week is for focused deep work from home. Remote team members fly in. Do hands-on work on the hardest technical problems, and bring that depth into design reviews and planning. Challenge the status quo with evidence, and retire approaches that no longer serve the business. Mentor engineers across teams, not only within your own, and raise the bar on engineering quality through review, standards, and coaching. Partner with Product on how we win, and with customer-facing teams on what they need from the platform. A demonstrated record of driving innovation that measurably accelerated a technology organization, not only shipping features Extensive experience as a Senior or Staff-level engineer, with a track record of architecting and delivering complex systems at scale Deep technical expertise in distributed, event-driven systems, with sound judgment on trade-offs between simplicity, scalability, and cost Robust influence without direct authority: you've moved teams toward a better technical direction through persuasion, evidence, and example A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Math, or Physics, or a related field Experience with AWS is preferred. #
