Job description

What Do We Do?

The shift to electric mobility is happening. Electra is accelerating it. Transportation is one of Europe's biggest sources of carbon emissions. Since 2021, Electra exists to make charging so simple that electric vehicles become the obvious choice for everyone. In 5 years, we've built a team of 300+ talents from 21 nationalities in 10 countries. We’ve grown into one of Europe's leading fast-charging operators by deploying fast, reliable infrastructure and user experiences across our own network, and we’re now expanding to thousands more charging points in Europe with our own eMSP. Backed by over €1 billion in funding, we’re looking for bold, passionate, collaborative talents to drive Europe’s energy transition.

Your Mission

Join Electra’s Stations team in Bordeaux and help build the software layer that makes high-power charging stations reliable in the real world. The team owns the on-site charging experience — from supervision to power delivery — and develops an in-house extended Charge Point Management System coordinating chargers, batteries, load-management devices, totems, payment terminals, and station networking.

Your Responsibilities

• Build and operate station-supervision systems
• Design, ship, and maintain backend services, APIs, and operational interfaces used to coordinate and supervise Electra stations and their on-site assets: chargers, batteries, load-management devices, totems.
• Improve reliability, observability, data quality, and incident-prevention capabilities so stations open on time, stay available, and charge at full power.
• Own power-delivery challenges end to end
• Build our in-house load management software that coordinates chargers and batteries to deliver a best-in-class high-power charging experience for drivers.
• Take complex problems from discovery through rollout, making pragmatic technical trade-offs and following through after release with Ops and Energy stakeholders.
• Raise the engineering bar for a fast-scaling charging network
• Simplify architectures, strengthen reliability and performance, and mentor peers while staying hands-on as an individual contributor.
• Use modern engineering practices and AI tooling responsibly to accelerate delivery while protecting quality, privacy, maintainability, and technical judgment.

Your Profile

• You are an experienced hands-on full-stack, backend, web, or IoT-adjacent software engineer with a strong track record shipping production-grade systems.
• You enjoy working across the stack — backend services, APIs, infrastructure, observability, frontend UX, and integrations with physical-world systems.
• You bring strong technical judgment, ownership, product sense, and attention to reliability, performance, security, data quality, edge cases, and operational workflows.
• You are a fast learner, comfortable entering a complex domain and collaborating closely with product, operations, and energy teams.
• Experience with Go, Ruby on Rails, AWS, OpenTelemetry, distributed architectures, or AI-assisted engineering is a plus, not a hard requirement.
• This role is based in Bordeaux.

What Electra Offers You

• A key role in a massive international rollout of Europe’s largest fast-charging network
• Opportunities to grow across engineering, operations, and strategy
• A collaborative and mission-driven environment
• Real impact on the energy transition and the future of mobility
• An attractive compensation package with fixed and variable components (evaluated and paid quarterly)
• Brand-new offices near Bordeaux’s Place de la Bourse
• 2 days of remote work per week
• Alan health insurance (50% covered by Electra)
• Meal vouchers via Swile card (€10/day, 50% covered by Electra)
• 25 paid vacation days + 12 RTT (reduction of working time) days
• SYNTEC collective agreement (including vacation bonus, additional leave for special occasions, etc.)
• A quarterly company-wide event with the entire Electra team
• Sustainable Mobility Package
• Access to the company benefits platform (CSE) with numerous perks (culture, sports, etc.)
• Access to a platform dedicated to mental health, supporting your well-being at work and beyond, including up to 4 sessions per year with certified practitioners, covered by Electra

Even if your profile doesn't match 100% of every criterion, we encourage you to apply. At Electra, we strive to create an environment where everyone feels comfortable, safe, and free to be themselves.

We are committed to equal opportunities and do not tolerate any discrimination based on religion, cultural background, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, or disability.

We value potential, motivation, and a learning mindset just as much as experience.
