About Times of EV

Times of EV is a media platform covering electric vehicles, batteries, charging infrastructure, clean mobility, and the companies shaping the future of transportation.

We report on the automakers, startups, technologies, engineers, investors, and founders building the electric mobility industry. Our coverage spans passenger EVs, commercial vehicles, battery technology, charging networks, autonomous mobility, energy storage, and the broader infrastructure required to electrify transportation.

We focus on the businesses and technologies moving the industry forward, with in-depth coverage designed for professionals, industry participants, and readers who want to understand where electric mobility is going.

The Role

We are hiring a Software Engineer to build and run the platform our journalism lives on.

Media engineering is unglamorous in a way that matters. A story is worth nothing if the page takes six seconds to load, the search does not find it, or the analytics cannot tell us whether anyone read it. You will own the systems that determine whether our work reaches people: the publishing platform, the delivery layer, the tooling our editors use, and the data behind what we cover.

Most of your work will be backend: services and APIs, the content and data models underneath them, performance and reliability, and integrations across the stack.

There is also a significant research and data side to the role. Covering the EV industry well means tracking automakers, startups, battery companies, charging networks, investments, products, manufacturing, and the people building them over time. That is a data problem as much as an editorial one.

You will work closely with editors. They are your users, and they will tell you plainly when a tool slows them down.

What You Will Do

Build and maintain the backend services and APIs behind the Times of EV publishing platform.

Own site performance,



from page speed and caching to how content is delivered.

Build the internal tools editors use to research, write, publish, and manage coverage

Design and maintain the data models behind our coverage of EV companies, vehicles, batteries, charging infrastructure, technologies, and people.

Build systems that help organize and track industry data over time.

Build analytics and reporting that show what is being read, how readers discover our work, and what is performing.

Integrate external services, data sources, APIs, and platforms.

Own quality through tests, code review, monitoring, and debugging production issues.

Contribute to architecture decisions and document them clearly.

Improve reliability, scalability, security, and maintainability across the platform.

What You Will Need

2 to 5 years of professional software engineering experience, with production systems you have shipped and maintained.

Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, databases, and software design.

Proficiency in Python, JavaScript or TypeScript, Java, Go, or a comparable modern language.

Solid backend experience, including REST APIs, databases, and server-side frameworks.

Experience designing and working with relational and structured data models.

Fluency with Git and collaborative development workflows.

Robust debugging instincts and the discipline to write code someone else can understand and maintain.

Clear communication with people who are not engineers, since your users will often be editors and researchers.





The self-direction to work effectively on a distributed team.

A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to Have

Experience with a content management system, publishing platform, news product, or media company.

Web performance experience, including caching, CDN configuration, Core Web Vitals, and technical SEO.

Search and retrieval experience, including full-text search, indexing, ranking, or recommendation systems.

Analytics instrumentation, event tracking, and reporting pipelines.

Experience working with large or continuously updated datasets.

Cloud experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure, along with Docker and CI/CD.

Experience integrating third-party APIs and external data sources.

Applications built using LLMs for search, summarization, research, classification, or editorial tooling.

- An interest in electric vehicles, batteries, charging infrastructure, clean energy, mobility, or transportation technology.

Why This Role

Small media platforms give an engineer unusual ownership. There is no layer of people between you and the decision, and the effect of your work is visible quickly: in load times, search traffic, publishing speed, data quality, and how effectively editors can do their jobs.

You will also work close to one of the fastest-changing industries in the world. Electric mobility is not just about cars. It sits at the intersection of transportation, manufacturing, batteries, software, energy, infrastructure, and automation.

The systems you build will help determine how Times of EV covers that industry and how effectively our journalism reaches the people trying to understand it.
