The Company
Our mission is to accelerate the EV revolution by getting petrol and diesel vehicles off the road. Most EVs are bought by companies – and those companies face real barriers when electrifying their fleets.
Our two core products, the Rightcharge Card and Rightcharge Home Reimbursement, remove those barriers by giving businesses access to Europe’s largest aggregated charging network (800,000+ chargers) and the most accurate home‑charging reimbursement solution available. In under 18 months, we’ve onboarded major UK fleets including The AA, Stagecoach and Vinci.
We’re hiring a Product Engineer who blends strong technical execution with product thinking. Working closely with the CTO, Product and Design, you’ll shape roadmap decisions, influence technical direction and help ensure we’re solving the right problems in the most effective way. This is a highly autonomous role with broad visibility across the business.
We sit at the intersection of energy, mobility, payments and software – solving complex technical challenges that directly impact businesses and drivers every day. Joining Rightcharge means owning meaningful work, building systems that matter, and playing a real role in the transition to sustainable transport across Europe.
If you’re excited by technical ownership, product thinking and technology that genuinely changes how people charge and pay for energy, we’d love to hear from you.
