About Monta

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.

Our principles keep us grounded: Build Together & Finish, Sweat the Details, Customer First, and Aim for the Moon.

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


The Role

We’re looking for a Data Engineer to play a key role in building and evolving Monta’s data platform. This is a hands-on, individual contributor role focused on designing, building, and maintaining reliable, scalable data pipelines and models that power analytics, decision-making, and customer-facing products.

You’ll work closely with the Head of Data & AI, product engineers, data scientists, and business stakeholders to turn raw operational data into trusted, well-modeled datasets. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys ownership, technical depth, and impact without people management responsibilities.


What You’ll Do

  • Design, build, and maintain robust data pipelines from a wide range of operational systems

  • Develop high-quality data models in the warehouse that enable analytics, experimentation, and AI use cases

  • Own parts of the data platform end-to-end, from ingestion through transformation and orchestration

  • Ensure data reliability, quality, and performance as data volumes and use cases grow

  • Partner closely with analytics, product, and engineering teams to understand requirements and deliver data solutions that create business value

  • Contribute to architectural decisions as we evolve toward large-scale, streaming, and near real-time data systems

  • Apply best practices around testing, observability, documentation, and data governance

  • Support and enable downstream users by making data discoverable, understandable, and trustworthy

Our Current Stack

  • Cloud Provider: AWS

  • Data Warehouse: Snowflake

  • Transformation: dbt

  • Orchestration: Dagster

  • Analytics: PostHog

  • AI: Mastra, Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic

  • Sources: MySQL, Postgres, Kafka, OpenSearch, ClickHouse, and other operational systems

  • Visualization: Steep.io, Tableau and embedded analytics

We are evolving toward large-scale data systems, modern streaming capabilities, and advanced AI/ML pipelines that support both internal teams and customer-facing products.


What We’re Looking For

  • Strong experience as a data engineer, ideally in a high-growth or product-focused environment

  • Deep hands-on expertise with modern data warehouses and transformation tools (Snowflake, dbt, or similar)

  • Solid understanding of data modeling, pipeline design, and performance optimization

  • Experience working with cloud infrastructure and data services, preferably on AWS

  • Comfort working with both batch and streaming data patterns

  • A pragmatic mindset: you balance technical quality with delivering real business impact

  • Strong collaboration and communication skills, especially when working with non-data stakeholders

  • A sense of ownership and accountability for the systems you build

Bonus:

  • Experience with real-time or event-driven data architectures (e.g. Kafka)

  • Exposure to ML or AI-enabled data products

If the mission excites you but your experience isn’t a perfect 1:1 match, apply anyway — we care about potential, not perfection.

AI Competency

You’ll be expected to work with AI-powered tools. Some we use:

  • GitHub Copilot / Claude Code

  • ChatGPT / Gemini / Claude

  • Notion AI (docs, knowledge, meeting notes)

  • Analytics & ML: Langfuse, PyTorch, Mastra

  • AI-enhanced testing & monitoring (e.g., generative QA, Grafana ML)

We don’t expect mastery of all — but we expect comfort learning, experimenting, and adopting AI responsibly.


Why Monta

  • Impact, not easy mode — your work matters, and you’ll feel it every day.

  • Ownership from day one — we don’t micromanage, we expect you to deliver.

  • 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


What We Offer

  • A yearly education budget and extra days off to use it.

  • A friendly and social company culture with movie nights, Friday bars, pub crawls, and more.

  • Free lunch every day.

  • Pension & health coverage to keep you secure for today and tomorrow.

  • Paid parental leave to support life’s big moments.

  • Warrants program - be part of our growth story.

  • Flexible working hours; as long as you’re at key meetings and delivering great work, we trust you to manage your schedule.

  • A one month electric vehicle introduction program (plus access to a shared company EV).


Please send us your application in English.

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.

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.

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.

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.
