Full Stack Mobile Developer

About the role

ampUp(https://ampup.io/) is a mobile app enabling reservation based electric vehicle charging.

Before ampUp, EV drivers without a dedicated home charger had no service to go to for a guaranteed spot to charge their car. This group of EV drivers will grow and grow fast. Starting with 2019, there will be more affordable and longer range EVs that will be bought and leased by people that do not and will not be able to get a dedicated home charger. The current public charging infrastructure in most countries (except China) is not ready to support the explosive growth of EVs, and their business model is first come first serve. In such condition, people without a dedicated charger will experience intense range anxiety unless they can charge their car in a guaranteed way.

ampUp is providing reservation based charging by aggregating shared private and home chargers with automated scheduling and payments, and the team is working on seamless host and driver interaction to provide the best experience possible. Since the launch users have been growing organically and globally. We have also received interest(LOIs) from public charging operators to partner and enable reservations on public chargers.

We are looking to expand to a size of 4-5 core members with mission driven mindset. Out of the 4-5 members, we are looking to have 2-3 strong product engineers that will iterate fast on the product and work on analytics and growth features of the product.

ampUp is at the extremely risky early stage before product-market-fit, and the journey to get to PMF will be impossibly difficult; think of the journey taken by Frodo and Sam in LOTR. Nevertheless, ampUp is fighting for a noble cause in sustainability for our planet, and we are cracking into a billion-to-trillion dollar global market.

Non-negotiable requirements:

- drives an electric car or willing to switch to one after joining ampUp

- can come and work at the office in Cupertino, CA at least 4 days of the week
