About Us

With the rapid growth of electric vehicle (EV) adoption globally, the aftermarket is not prepared to support the influx of thousands of off-warranty EVs that need to be diagnosed and repaired.

Our client is a stealth seed-stage, software-enabled startup on a mission to revolutionize the repair industry and solve this problem while delivering a trustworthy auto repair experience for EV owners. We’re building innovative solutions that simplify and enhance the customer experience, and we’re seeking a dynamic VP of Technology to join our leadership team.

This is an opportunity to join at the ground floor of an early-stage, well-funded startup backed by Autotech Ventures.
