Our mission at Qwello is to revolutionise the charging industry, we are committed to turn the world from combustion to electric. We design, build and operate charging infrastructure for the public space. We excel in simplicity, user focus and engineering excellence. We value diversity of thought, background and approaches and foster a culture of belonging. We understand that the best products are built by excellent teams, not individual superstars. Be part of shaping the E-mobility of the future!

To reach our goal we are looking for a Senior Embedded Engineerto help us develop software (Rust/Python/C) on our charging stations and cloud infrastructure. At Qwello, you will be responsible for high quality, low bug design & implementation and understand that our stations are far away from home, on a slow network connection and potentially hard to physically get to.
