Salary Competitive

Monta is the operating platform powering the EV ecosystem serving drivers, companies, cities, and the electricity grid with one integrated software solution.

At our core, we make EV charging simple, accessible, and reliable. Our software enables a consistent charging experience across all charge point brands and we empower charge point owners with a full-fledged solution to attract users and seamlessly manage usage, pricing, availability, and transactions.

We’ve closed a huge Series B round! 80M EUR and soaring! Our journey so far? An expansion across various markets, prestigious #ISO27001 and B-Corp certifications, and proactive tech revolutionizing the EV charging experience. Not to mention, our growth has skyrocketed 6X since the last round, nearing 1 million monthly charging sessions, and 1,000 #EV drivers joining us daily! Monta will use the EUR 80M funding to double down on its successful software-only strategy by strengthening investments in all markets and improving and expanding its product to new sectors ready to embark on an electrified future.

Our tech stack

To keep it short, sweet and simple, you'll work with a fairly modern stack. Some of the things that we're working with are:

Kotlin (Java 17 and following the update schedule as closely as possible)
Micronaut (micro service framework)
AWS Cloud
Docker
GitOps
Kubernetes
MySQL/Redis (Database)
Prometheus (monitoring system)
Grafana (Dashboard/Metrics)
Loki (Logging)
... The list goes on!

While we don't expect you to know everything about this stack you should be comfortable learning new tech.

The role

We're currently in the process of migrating our monolith application into smaller services

You will need to be able to scope out requirements and plan out the required features for turning a given domain into a successful microservice
Work with several teams (can be other backend teams or product teams) to ensure a smooth transition into the microservice
Perform validation and verification testing

We aim for fairly high code coverage for all of our services and JUnit5 is our tool of preference however you accomplish that is up to you!
Postman for API documentation

Document development phases and monitor system

For internal documentation we use Notion
Our stack includes Grafana/Loki for monitoring so while it's not important that you know how to use it be prepared to learn how

The important thing here is that you will become a master of your given domain and you will have a lot of room to experiment on how to get there.

Requirements

We expect you to be a fairly independent developer being able to take an idea and turn that into working code, but of course also being able to work in a team is crucial 🔑
We appreciate someone who has the ideal solution in mind but also knows when to take the pragmatic approach
Comfortable with learning new technologies and topics, we're working on tackling new problems throughout the industry and using scalable solutions to do that!

Benefits

A yearly education budget, and a few extra days off to make use of it! For example: our Backend team went to the WeAreDevelopers World Congress in Berlin together.
Our engineering team has a monthly meetup where they discuss their practices and get to learn a lot from each other.
We're quite a social bunch so you can look forward to a good atmosphere at Monta with things such as: Friday bars, pub crawls, ping pong, and much more.
Flexible working hours. We truly mean this so as long as you're at the important meetings and getting your work done that's all that matters.
An attractive warrant package.
Shared electric cars at our Copenhagen office.
You can choose your preferred operating system, we have Microsoft and MacOS available.
And all sorts of surprises!

The salary for this role starts at 50k DKK gross/month, depending on level of experience.

Due to our wish to grow our team, we have an ongoing selection process for this role, which is why you'll see it posted for a long time.

Monta’s mission is to provide the best technology solutions for the entire EV charging cycle. At our core, we provide access, innovation, and reliability to the mobility transformation. We're here to make the transition to electric mobility as seamless and exciting as possible. With a single integrated software built to EV better. Founded in 2020 our team has been growing fast and are now more than 200 employees with 47 different nationalities. Our HQ is based in Copenhagen, and we have offices in Oslo, Berlin, Paris, London and just opened Barcelona. Our culture is based on trust, transparency, and respect, where everyone contributes to making Monta what it is. You don't have to work 9-17, we trust our people to know how they work best. We empower each team to choose how and when they work. Inclusion is also a big part of our culture, and we make sure that everybody feels welcome, heard and able to bring all of who they are to work. We take it upon ourselves to protect this space that has allowed us to get this far. Monta is dedicated to encouraging a supportive, diverse and inclusive culture amongst all Monteers as they are fundamental to our values as a company. One of the best things about Monta is our people. Right from the get-go you will feel how inclusive, diverse, sociable and friendly our team is. We go to the office as much as possible, not because we have to, but because we enjoy each other's company - even outside work hours we hang out together. We have lots of different clubs you can join, there's a chess club, a ski club, (there's a slack channel for every little interest we can bond over). Everyone is very passionate about what we do and invested in the product and their role. We are a team of innovators, experts, and “bar-setters” in our fields. We believe that we can create the path needed to sustainably scale the industry towards the future. We're biased toward action, so we're always looking for ways to improve and make things work for many, not just few. We don't just want to be good at what we do—we want to be the best at it. Better results, better technology, better systems, better together. The combination of all this, and the feeling that we are contributing something great to the world, gives everyone a strong sense of belonging and makes our employees and customers want to work with us - it helps our company thrive. Everyone here is proud to be a 'Monteer'. If you’d like to work in a green, tech-driven company and are passionate about innovation, we might be the right fit! We've got an incredible team, and hope to find more peers who can help us push things even further.
