Lead QA Engineer

About the ChargeItSpot Team

Here at ChargeItSpot, we are mobile device experts. For over a decade, our intelligent locker systems have been solving real-world problems around devices, whether that’s securely charging consumer cell phones or seamlessly managing fleets of enterprise-owned mobile devices at scale.

At ChargeItSpot, we surround ourselves with independent thinkers who are detail-oriented, and customer obsessed. Our clients have routinely called us “the most talented team they’ve ever worked with.” We value determination, resourcefulness, imagination, and follow-through. We want people who are ready to get things done.
Our focus is fierce, but it’s not all hard work. We take time to get to know each other through a daily game of Jeopardy, meals together, and nights out for karaoke. We operate a hybrid work model, with most team members working in the office a couple of days a week, and the rest remotely.
