Connected to this, the team also owns backend components that enable configuration, cloud EMS integrations, and interfaces for our admin dashboard. As Team Lead EVCI, you will combine hands-on engineering with people leadership, with an envisioned 70/30 split between individual contribution and leadership responsibilities, allowing you to stay close to the technology while helping your team grow.
