Senior Backend Engineer

Our mission at Qwello is to revolutionize the charging industry; we are committed to turning the world from combustion to electric. We design, build, and operate charging infrastructure for the public space. We excel in simplicity, user focus, and engineering excellence. We value diversity of thought, background, and approaches, and foster a culture of belonging. We understand that the best products are built by excellent teams, not individual superstars. Be part of shaping the E-mobility of the future!

 

To reach our goal, we are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our Backend Team.  At Qwello, you will architect, design, and implement new backend services (typically in Rust and Python) to support our growing fleet of self-designed/built charging stations being deployed across Europe. You will also design and implement backend-to-backend systems connecting the Qwello systems with the services of Qwello's partners. Reliability and craftsmanship are important to you, so you design with automatic testability, resilience, introspection & observability in mind. Security is important to you. You are an efficient engineer, focused on the fast execution of your craft. You are a good communicator, a free thinker, have an inquisitive mindset, and an eye for detail. You enjoy sharing your knowledge with your colleagues and mentoring junior team members. You are comfortable working in a startup, collaborating in an interdisciplinary team, and willing to contribute, with your skills, experience, and enthusiasm, to help us build a successful business. As a proactive and committed team member, we continuously motivate you to continue learning and developing your skills.
