The Job

As a Jr Software Engineer at Milence, you will help design, build, test and operate the software behind our heavy-duty transport charging platform.

You will work on clearly defined features, components and services within our established architecture and engineering standards. You’ll have the autonomy to deliver your own work while collaborating with experienced engineers when tackling more complex or unfamiliar challenges.

Reporting to the Head of Software Engineering, your work will span cloud back-end services, APIs, web applications and data integrations, giving you the opportunity to develop your skills across the full software-development lifecycle

What you will do

• Develop and maintain asynchronous, event-driven services using TypeScript and Node.js.

• Build and maintain APIs and integrations using established architecture patterns.

• Develop React or comparable front-end components that connect seamlessly with back-end services.

• Implement database schemas, queries and data flows within agreed designs.

• Apply security, privacy and data-protection principles throughout development, testing and production.

• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, monitoring and logging.

• Work with containerised and serverless deployments.

• Support incident analysis and implement improvements that increase the reliability and maintainability of our services.

• Participate in code reviews, knowledge sharing and continuous improvement.

• Collaborate with colleagues across Product, Data, Technology and Software Engineering.

What you bring

• You have a bachelor's degree in computer science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

• You have at least 2+ years of relevant software development experience, including experience building and delivering cloud-based applications or services.

• You have hands-on experience with TypeScript and Node.js.

• You have working knowledge of React or a comparable front-end framework.

• You have experience working with Azure, AWS or GCP.

• You are familiar with APIs and asynchronous or event-driven architectures.

• You have experience working with relational and/or NoSQL databases.

• You have knowledge of automated testing, Git-based development and CI/CD.

• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, serverless technologies, infrastructure as code, monitoring or logging is an advantage.

• You are comfortable using AI-assisted development tools to support activities such as coding, testing, debugging, documentation and code reviews.

• You understand how to use Generative AI responsibly in the software development lifecycle, including validating AI-generated output rather than relying on it without review.

• Experience working with AI APIs, LLM-based services, prompt engineering or AI-enabled product features is an advantage.

• You are curious about how AI can improve developer productivity, software quality and customer experiences, and you actively keep up with developments in this area.

• You are professionally proficient in English.

• You bring a collaborative mindset, curiosity and ownership, with a strong commitment to building secure, reliable and maintainable software.

What we offer

• You'll be joining us at an exciting stage of growth where you can make a visible impact, work alongside passionate experts, and help solve some of the most complex challenges in the energy transition.

• In return, we offer:

• The opportunity to work on technology that contributes directly to a more sustainable future.

• A high-impact role with significant ownership, autonomy and visibility across the business.

• A collaborative, international and purpose-driven culture where innovation and continuous learning are encouraged.

• The chance to work with leading industry partners, manufacturers and technology providers shaping the future of transport e-mobility.

• Company annual incentive bonus plan.

• Unlimited holiday policy.

• Company pension plan.

• A one-time home office allowance to create a comfortable and productive workspace.
