Job description

Описание

Fastned aims to accelerate the transition towards sustainable mobility by giving freedom to electric drivers. As a Senior Backend Engineer in the Operator team, you will help build and evolve the software that enables Fastned to operate one of Europe’s most reliable fast‑charging networks. The team owns Revolt Admin, Fastned’s internal operations platform used by Customer Operations, Network Operations and Field Operations to manage and monitor stations, chargers, charging sessions, users and payments.

Задачи

• Designing, developing, testing and reviewing reusable, maintainable and scalable code for Fastned's charging platform and infrastructure
• Delivering core charging milestones: the migration from OCPP 1.6 to OCPP 2.x, Autocharge and Plug & Charge, and our shift to advanced maintenance using granular data and ML/AI modelling
• Working AI‑first: using AI‑augmented engineering (Claude Code, agentic workflows and AI tooling) as a natural part of how you design, build, test and review — with judgement for where AI is a multiplier and where humans stay in the loop
• Overseeing technical development from ideation to deployment, and taking operational responsibility for what you build (monitoring, alerting, incident analysis)
• Helping improve engineering methodologies and best practices, and mentoring others as a tech lead in the Charging team

Требования

• In order to be successful in this role you bring along a highly entrepreneurial mindset — we want our employees to 'Think like a founder'.
• You thrive on taking ownership of the engineering that creates a best‑in‑class user experience.
• You have 7+ years of professional backend experience, with strong hands‑on Kotlin and/or Java and experience operating microservices in production.
• You've worked with AWS or other cloud platforms, containerization/orchestration (Docker/Kubernetes) and relational databases (e.g. Postgres).
• You're experienced building microservices with RESTful web services, and comfortable with event‑driven architectures and tools like Kafka.
• AI‑first instincts: you reach for AI tooling as a natural part of your workflow, with good judgement about its strengths, limits and risks.
• You demonstrate great communication and coaching skills and love working in a team.
• Proficiency in English is mandatory.
• You have a strong affinity with the energy transition and Fastned's mission.
• Будет плюсом: tech‑lead experience is a strong plus.
• hands‑on OCPP (1.6 and/or 2.x).
• e‑mobility, MSP/CPO models or standards such as OCPI.
• high‑throughput, real‑time event‑driven systems.
• mobile app backends (e.g. React Native).
• building with LLMs/agents in production.

Условия

• We work hard to change the world, but we don't forget to recognise & celebrate our successes, big and small.
• We focus on work‑life balance, provide genuine work flexibility, and have family‑friendly policies in place.
• Stock option plan - we believe in shared value creation.
• Pension plan (fully covered by Fastned).
• A training and development budget of €3,000 per year per employee, because development and training are important to us and our sector offers endless opportunities.
• In order to experience and enjoy the EV life, you get access to our fully electric vehicle fleet (all charging expenses covered), which is also for private use.
• 29 holidays.
• Additionally, we give you two mission days you can use to contribute to Fastned’s mission or to support a cause that is important to you.
• Going the extra mile for parents: We provide you with personalised coaching support before, during, and after parental leave, facilitated by Foundree.
• Understanding women's health is beneficial for all of us, fostering empathy, improving communication, and creating a more inclusive workplace.
• That's why we teamed up with Flouria, providing you with quick access to a broad range of women's health professionals.
• Daily lunches, snacks & drinks are provided at our office locations.
• Next to fun events year‑round, we throw notorious Christmas parties and organise an amazing yearly trip abroad with all employees.
