At least 25 new tech jobs are heading to the North East as Ideanomics Digital launches a new recruitment drive.
Newcastle-headquartered Ideanomics Digital is the technology division of New York-based, NASDAQ-listed Ideanomics, an electric vehicle manufacturer currently valued at around $350m in total. It plans to fill twenty-five specialist roles over the next nine months, with the potential for more to follow. Job opportunities include software developers at all levels, testers, business analysts, IT managers and IT technicians. Positions are open for applications now.
As well as having the opportunity to work on new technologies that will support the adoption and rollout of electric vehicles, successful candidates will also become Google-certified cloud architects at no expense to themselves. Ideanomics Digital aims to attract people who are just starting their careers in tech as well as more experienced developers looking for new opportunities.

We’re delighted to be working with Ideanomics, and we look forward to seeing their work unfold in bettering the EV industry across the globe.”
