Senior Backend Engineer (PHP) - Hub in Berlin bei Monta

Monta

Do you want to help the world EV better?

We are on the lookout for a talented Senior Backend Engineer (Kotlin/PHP)

Is this you?

As a Senior PHP Engineer at Monta, you will help realise exciting new features in the Hub, our B2B Charge Point Management System (CPMS).

Who are we?

Monta’s powerful SaaS platform connects the dots in the entire EV charging ecosystem. As a B2B2C company with an engineering-driven culture, and engineers comprising one-third of our team, we offer comprehensive, tailored software solutions for drivers, businesses, and industry partners.

What’s our mission?

We aim to make EV charging simple, accessible, and reliable. Our software ensures a consistent experience across all charge point brands, empowering owners with a seamless solution

What else should you know?

We've just closed a massive 80M EUR Series B round, propelling us toward revolutionizing the EV charging experience. Our growth has soared, with nearly a million monthly charging sessions and 1,000 EV drivers joining us daily. 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!

Here are some things you’ll be working on:

Collaborate with product managers, designers and other engineers to define features that meet user needs
Perform validation and verification testing
Document development phases and monitor system
Develop new features and maintain existing ones in our PHP codebase
Get onboarded and develop and maintain our Kotlin BFF service

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.

As a Senior PHP Engineer at Monta, you will closely collaborate with our Design and Product teams. As we move from our PHP monolith into smaller Kotlin services, you will be:

Help shaping best practices to support even faster iterations and growth
Provide technical guidance to engineers with less PHP experience.
Integrating our BFF(Kotlin) with our PHP monolith and also with existing (and new) micro-services to meet Front End needs
Learn Kotlin! You will get onboarded in our new Kotlin services and actively contribute to them.
Helping our Business clients seamless onboard thousands of users & charge points into Hub
Helping our Business clients quickly perform bulk operations in charge points, users, charge keys, etc.
