Open Application

Plug Technologies•Los Angeles, CA

About The Position

Plug is accepting open applications from people who are interested in contributing to its early-stage electric-vehicle marketplace, even if no existing role matches their background. The opportunity is function-agnostic and may span engineering, operations, go-to-market, product, design, finance, people, or other areas. Plug seeks builders, operators, and problem-solvers who take ownership, act quickly, learn from mistakes, and work effectively in ambiguity. Team members have significant influence and responsibility in a small, fast-moving startup environment. Plug is an online marketplace focused exclusively on electric vehicles. Its platform enables consumers, dealers, and commercial partners to trade in, sell, and auction used EVs. Consumer services include data-driven instant cash offers, battery state-of-health analysis, and coordinated pickup, payment, and title transfer. Vehicles acquired by Plug are sold through competitive wholesale auctions to franchise and independent dealers across the United States. Applicants are asked to explain why Plug interests them, where they believe they could add value, and to share examples of work they have owned, built, shipped, or fixed. A résumé may be included, but the company says it will read the applicant's note first. Plug reviews every open application and may contact applicants about a current or future fit.
