About Octopus Electroverse
We’re making electric vehicle ownership as smart and as simple as possible, by building the giant, virtual charging platform of the future.
In just three years, Octopus Electroverse has grown to become one of the largest eMobility players globally, with over 800,000 connected electric vehicle chargers and a customer ecosystem spanning web, iOS, Android, CarPlay, Android Auto & Automotive OS, and more.
But it’s just the start: we’re busy expanding internationally, working with more automotive and tech partners, building exciting new features at scale, and creating the integrated charging experiences of the future - all in the name of making public EV charging super simple for customers.
Electroverse is a multifunctional team made up of product, development, commercial, operations, marketing, partnerships and more - all focused together on making Octopus the go-to name in EV charging. And we’re looking for smart individuals with an interest in the space who can help us make it happen.
As Electroverse enters its next stage of expansion, we are looking for an Information Security Analyst who can support us in navigating the fast-paced security landscape we operate in. You’ll be supporting our business and ensuring that we remain fully-operational and compliant with infosec legislation and processes while working with various teams to expand our capabilities and develop creative solutions to business challenges and opportunities to improve our service to both new and existing customers.
