Job Description

Eco-Movement, part of the company, is a leading global platform for EV charge point location and pricing data. Customers of the platform include navigation providers, charge point operators, eMSPs, and the public sector.

About the Role

Eco-Movement aggregates EV charging station data from hundreds of providers worldwide, and the Source Integration Team (SIT) owns the pipeline that brings that data in. We are modernizing a tightly‑coupled legacy codebase into a modern architecture that fetches from external endpoints, transforms data into a standardized format, and publishes it for downstream consumers. As a Medior PHP Developer you will build and maintain these integrations, taking ownership of them end to end. You will report to the SIT Team Lead.

You Will

• Migrate the legacy codebase to the modern architecture and onboard new data sources, transforming third‑party feeds (JSON, OCPI, CSV, and others) into our standardized output format.
• Own the data quality and reliability of your integrations, ensuring output conforms to our standardized format and behaves correctly across scheduled runs.
• Help build an automated quality gate system that leverages AI tooling to validate integrations before they reach production.

You Have

• 4+ years of professional PHP experience, including at least 2 years working with Laravel in a production environment.
• Solid experience integrating third‑party APIs and processing structured data (REST, JSON, CSV; OCPI or other domain protocols a plus).
• A strong testing discipline with PHPUnit, and familiarity with static analysis (PHPStan/Larastan) and code style tooling (Pint).
• Working knowledge of relational databases (MySQL), queues, and containerized development with Docker.
• A genuine passion for learning and working with AI agentic workflows, alongside the rest of our technology stack, aimed at generating insight and optimizing our data quality.

Nice to Have

• Prior experience building data integration, ETL, or data pipeline software, ideally in the energy, mobility, or SaaS data industries.
• Exposure to Google Cloud (GCS, Pub/Sub) and observability tooling such as Prometheus and Grafana.

Our Benefits

• Fun international team and frequent events;
• Dynamic scale‑up vibe and lots of opportunities to make an impact;
• Our own office, next to Utrecht Central Station. We have a hybrid way of working with 3 days from the office and 2 days from home with Monday and Thursday as our mandatory office days with free healthy lunch;
• 25 vacation days;
• Medical Allowance
• Employee Well‑being Support & Fitness Programs
• Membership of MyWheels EV car sharing service;
• A role with a lot of freedom, challenge, and opportunity – no dull moments, guaranteed!
