EVPassport is looking for a Lead Engineer/Solution Architect to define, build, and own the technical backbone that supports all operational functions. You will architect the foundational systems that enable a single internal source of truth, unlock clean and consistent cross-platform data, and power the next generation of automation and AI-driven intelligence across the company.

What You'll Do

Define, design, and own the end-to-end architecture for internal operational systems, data infrastructure, and the integration layer.
Build and govern a unified internal source-of-truth architecture, ensuring data consistency, lineage, and reliability across all business systems.
Architect scalable internal infrastructure—including APIs, event-driven services, data schemas, pipelines, and metadata frameworks—to support AI readiness, analytics, and automation.
Drive the creation of reusable internal data models, shared services, and connectors that standardize how operational data flows across systems.
Ensure our infrastructure is highly performant, resilient, secure, and designed to support rapid growth with minimal friction.
Lead the design, governance, and evolution of internal and external APIs to support clean, normalized data exchange across platforms.
Define integration patterns and frameworks for data ingestion, transformation, and synchronization between EVPassport systems and third parties.
Oversee the data architecture that powers BI, AI/ML, and real-time operational insights, including schemas, storage strategy, and event architectures.
Ensure data flows meet enterprise-grade expectations for accuracy, observability, compliance, and security.
Provide hands-on architectural leadership to engineering teams, shaping best practices around service design, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and systems observability.
Conduct deep technical reviews, guide high-impact implementation decisions, and deliver proof-of-concepts to de-risk architectural choices.
Own platform-wide non-functional requirements such as reliability, scalability, throughput, latency, failover design, and cost efficiency.
Evaluate and introduce new infrastructure technologies, automation tools, and cloud capabilities that accelerate development velocity and reduce operational overhead.
Serve as the technical bridge between Product, Engineering, Data, and Operations teams—translating requirements into system designs and long-term architectural strategy.
Partner with business leaders to ensure operational workflows, data structures, and platform capabilities scale with EVPassport’s growth.
Collaborate with Data, AI, and Engineering teams to ensure the platform supports autonomous operations, predictive insights, and next-generation customer experiences.

What We're Looking For

8+ years in Software Development, Platform Engineering, or Systems Architecture, ideally within high-growth SaaS, PaaS, or data-intensive environments.
3+ years in a Lead Engineer, Principal Engineer, or Solution Architect role, driving architecture for distributed systems and complex integrations.
Expertise in designing and operating microservices, distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and modern cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
Proven experience designing, governing, and scaling internal and external API ecosystems (REST, GraphQL, or event-driven APIs).
Strong understanding of data modeling, data pipelines, metadata management, schema governance, and building clean, reliable datasets at scale.

Nice to Have

Experience in EV charging, IoT, energy, or other high-volume telemetry environments.
Familiarity with device protocols such as OCPP 1.6+ or similar M2M/IoT communication standards.
Experience architecting AI-ready systems or embedding automation frameworks into operational workflows.
Exceptional communication, cross-functional leadership, and the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field—or equivalent practical experience.
Knowledge of electric vehicles and charging dynamics.
Industry expertise.
Start-up mentality.
