Who we are looking for
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.
Additionally, you tick the following boxes:
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 judgment about its strengths, limits and risks.
You demonstrate great communication and coaching skills and love working in a team; tech-lead experience is a strong plus.
Proficiency in English is mandatory.
You have a strong affinity with the energy transition and Fastned's mission.
Nice to have: 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); or building with LLMs/agents in production.
