Nortical work to improve battery efficiency by analysing live battery data, compiling battery insights and giving advice on how to put them to better use in the future.

About the role
As Nortical are growing, their tech team need more helping hands for the development and maintenance of backend services and cloud infrastructure.

The tech team is small but shoulders a lot of responsibility, working autonomously with a great degree of freedom. This puts expectations on you to be self-propelled, curious, documentation-driven, and interested in automation. Being a startup, they often end up doing unexpected things, so an agile mindset is needed.
