The Department

The Information Technology Team is responsible for the end-to-end support and development of all digital products and services needed to achieve our mission and support our clients and colleagues in the best way possible.

Our stack is Azure based and hosted and we’re ramping up from a near greenfield situation.

The Data Platform team works on setting up the data infrastructure and data pipelines, working with fantastic datasets to facilitate and monitor charging sessions, network location planning, route optimization and smart charging. Both teams will work and collaborate closely and use common state-of-the-art DevSecOps best practices and processes.
