About Amply

AMPLY is redefining the EV charging market for private and public fleets, including autonomous driving fleets, transit bus agencies, municipal and private fleets. We are building the next level of charging as a service, taking complete ownership and control of the charging infrastructure, the scheduling of the vehicles, the cloud platform and the utility meter in order to provide the highest availability and resilience in the market. In this way, we will accelerate the adoption of electric-powered fleets by optimizing the delivery of power and making refueling seamless and efficient.

In a high-powered application like vehicle fast charging, the difference between controlled, optimally balanced vs unrestrained EV charging could be 3x in cost from your local utility. Even more importantly, EV fleets, in particular when part of critical and close to real-time business processes (for example in autonomous fleets) need to be scheduled for charging in specific time intervals. By taking control of the utility meter, optimizing EV charge rate, and vehicle process flow, AMPLY provides the lowest cost of electric fueling possible in a given depot location or in-route stops.

Our approach is to offer charging as a service, which is unique in the industry. We offer our customers a per mile driven usage rate. AMPLY provides the bulk of the upfront capital expenditures associated with the charging platform.

CB(NA1 I haven t reviewed this closely yet, but I ve found this JD that was similar to what we re looking for: (link removed)

I would like to have the tone of this section match the rest of the JD in terms of being general/broad in the responsibilities but concise in what we re looking for. E.g. I don t want to be very domain-specific here as candidates will not likely understand what we re looking for (or make wrong assumptions)

CB(NA2 Move this to the preferred section, remove the # of years and frame as having the experience of building solutions that involve some or all of those features (distributed arch, high availability, machine learning, etc.)

CB(NA3 Would remove as it is a duplicate on one of the items above
