You will contribute to building real-time monitoring tools that enable our customers to seamlessly manage thousands of charging stations from a single, intuitive interface. Imagine empowering a national fleet operator to oversee their entire EV charging network with unprecedented ease and efficiency. Furthermore, you will be involved in developing sophisticated utility grid integrations. These integrations are vital for dynamically managing the power output of EV charging sites, especially those with hundreds of chargers, ensuring grid stability and optimizing energy consumption. This involves complex algorithms and real-time data processing to balance demand and supply.
• • Another significant area of focus will be the creation of an industry-leading, multi-modal payments experience for EV charging. This multifaceted project requires integrating various payment methods, including in-person payment terminals, seamless in-app payments, and robust subscription billing systems. The goal is to provide a frictionless and flexible payment journey for all EV drivers, regardless of how they choose to pay.
• • We are committed to leveraging modern technologies and best-in-class tools to build for the long term. You will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies such as TypeScript, GraphQL, and AWS, utilizing advanced development tools like Cursor and Claude to enhance productivity and innovation. Our commitment to technological excellence ensures that our platform remains scalable, reliable, and at the forefront of the industry.
• • The EV market is experiencing exponential growth. By 2030, EVs are projected to represent over 60% of global vehicle sales, necessitating the deployment of millions of chargers annually. This represents an enormous market opportunity, and Flipturn is rapidly establishing itself as a leading choice for charging infrastructure across North America and beyond. Our current software solutions already manage private EV charging for Fortune 500 national fleets, public paid charging networks on highways and in parking lots, and semi-private charging solutions for workplaces and multi-family dwellings.
• • Looking ahead, the next decade will see significant advancements driven by increased EV adoption, the electrification of buildings and industry, and the growing energy demands of AI data centers. Flipturn is strategically positioned at the vanguard of this transformation. We are actively developing cutting-edge load management algorithms, integrating with utility programs to optimize energy usage, and creating sophisticated on-site battery and solar optimization solutions. Your work will directly contribute to building a more resilient and sustainable energy future.
• • As a Software Engineer at Flipturn, you will be an integral part of a fast-paced, dynamic early-stage startup environment. We value individuals who are excited by challenges, eager to learn, and driven to make a tangible impact. You will have the autonomy to drive projects from inception through to post-launch, receiving direct feedback from customers and iterating rapidly to improve our product. This role offers a unique chance to shape not only the product but also the engineering culture of a company poised for significant growth and impact in the critical EV and energy sector. We are looking for engineers who are passionate about sustainability and eager to build the future of energy infrastructure.
