We'll use this funding to enhance our software-only strategy, expand into new markets, and improve our product for an electrified future ⚡

Tools and technologies you’ll use

You’ll be working with a fairly modern stack, and while we don't expect you to know everything about it, you should be comfortable learning new tech. Our tools include Kotlin (Java 17 and closely following updates), Micronaut (microservice framework), Dart and Flutter, Typescript and ReactJS, AWS Cloud, Docker, GitOps, Kubernetes, MySQL/Redis (database), Prometheus (monitoring), Grafana (dashboard/metrics), Loki (logging), and more!

  • Monitor and Troubleshoot: Monitor system performance, troubleshoot issues, and implement improvements to maintain system reliability.

Here’s what you’ll achieve:

It’s not just what you do – how your work impacts our products and processes is also important to us. And your problem-solving expertise combined with innovation and out-of-the box thinking won’t just help us, it’ll (hopefully) also increase your professional growth and job satisfaction.

  • Demonstrated experience in integrating complex financial systems
  • Achievements in implementing robust security measures and ensuring compliance with financial regulations (such as PSD2). This could include developing secure authentication systems, data encryption, and audit trails to protect sensitive financial data.
  • Taking ownership of complex financial domains.

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will:

Design and maintain backend systems for financial transactions, ensure
data accuracy, optimize performance, implement security measures, ensure

To do this, we imagine you to have the following experience:

  2. Technical Excellence: Demonstrated technical proficiency in backend development, with expertise in languages like Kotlin being a strong advantage.
  3. Responsibility: A track record of taking ownership of projects, ensuring data integrity, security, and seamless integration with other systems.

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.
