Information Technology Manager

Zapp EV, Los Angeles, CA, United States


Zapp EV is building the first real premium EV charging network designed for how people actually live, move, and spend time. We are not building isolated charging lots. We are building a full operating platform: flagship urban hubs, microhub density, fleet infrastructure, corridor execution, and the software and operating backbone required to make that network function at scale. As the company builds, internal systems readiness matters. We need someone who can help create a secure, functional, reliable internal technology environment from the ground up.
