Jun/Mid Level Backend Engineer

Monta powers the EV charging ecosystem. With 300,000+ monthly users and millions of charge sessions every month, our platform

accelerates the electrification of mobility.

This is a fast-moving place. The problems are hard, the pace is quick, and the bar is high. If you like real ownership, figuring

things out, and seeing the direct impact of your work, you’ll do well with us.

AI is built into how we work. It helps us ship faster, make better decisions, and stay lean. Everyone at Monta is expected to use

AI tools thoughtfully - and to find smart ways to use them to move the work forward.

The best part of Monta is the people - sharp, ambitious, and good to be around. You’ll be challenged, supported, and trusted to

deliver.

We’re looking for a Jun/Mid Level Engineer who’s ready to roll up their sleeves, take ownership, and build with us - through the

grind and the wins.

• Owned an OCPP hardening project - chased down a recurring class of vendor quirks (malformed messages, connection drops, the

long tail of hardware oddities), shipped the fix, and measurably cut failed sessions or disconnections for that device family.

• Helped shift the team from reacting to incidents to preventing them, through alerting and observability work that catches

problems earlier.

• Made real progress on OCPP 1.6, OCPP 2.0.1, and OCPI standards work that other services and front-ends across Monta now rely

on.

• Build and maintain backend services in NetOps' OCPP and charge point domain - protocol handling, message processing, device

state, integrations with hardware vendors.

• Debug things that only break in the field. A charge point in Belgium disconnects every 40 minutes - you'll read the OCPP

traffic, reproduce it against our emulator, find the cause, and fix it.

• Take part in on-call once you're ramped up, with a team that treats a rough night as a reason to fix the system, not a rite of

passage.

• Collaborate across Product, Support, and the operations teams who live with the consequences of what we ship. You won't work in

a silo.

• 1–4 years of backend engineering experience, or a strong junior track record with real production exposure. You write clean,

readable code and finish what you start.

• Comfortable in a JVM language - Kotlin preferred, Java fine, and we'll help you get there from another stack if the

fundamentals are strong. Willingness to touch PHP in our legacy monolith when the work calls for it.

• Nice to have: curiosity about the physical world (our systems talk to metal boxes with electricity in them); clear

communication - you can explain what broke and why to someone who isn't an engineer; advanced, deliberate use of AI tools in

your daily engineering workflow.

• Bonus points for: exposure to OCPP, OCPI, EV charging, or the EV industry as a driver or enthusiast; IoT, embedded, or

telemetry systems where devices in the field misbehave; event-driven architectures (Kafka) or high-volume message processing;

reliability/monitoring/on-call experience (Prometheus, Grafana, SLOs); Kubernetes, Terraform, or infrastructure-as-code

exposure.

• The grind is real - priorities shift, and flexibility is sometimes needed to get things across the finish line. But so are the

rewards: impact, growth, and a team that has your back.

• The people are extraordinary - talented, driven, and fun to work with. You’ll be challenged, supported, and inspired in equal

measure.

To succeed in this position, your spoken and written English skills need to be proficient. Since Monta is a globally active

company, you'll be communicating often and regularly with our co-workers and partners around the world, making your professional

English knowledge essential.
