About Presto 

Our mission is to build an all-electric future, one magical charging experience at a time.

We believe that access to reliable and affordable charging is the key to unlocking mass electrification and fighting climate change. At Presto, we are building a software platform to power magical charging experiences for fleets, mobility providers, and businesses. For our charging partners, we strive to set in motion a positive flywheel of business demand and network utilization, helping expand charging for all.

Presto is backed by Congruent Ventures, Powerhouse, and prominent climate-tech angel investors. The founding team has extensive experience in consumer tech, marketplaces, and electrification.

  2. Customer-first: You live the customer experience and are obsessed with making it better.
  3. First-principles learner: You approach problems by questioning assumptions and relying on data to find the right solution. You learn fast and go deep into the details.
  4. Mission-oriented: You care about electrification. Ideally, you also drive an EV.
  5. Kind: You are kind and will help create a fun and supportive workplace.

 

You will be an integral part of the founding team, shaping every aspect of the company. You will be responsible for designing, building, and scaling all of our tech. You should be able to attract, hire and coach exceptional engineers as you build your team.
