Backend Developer

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 Backend Developer to join our Backend Team. At Qwello, you will help to design and implement new backend services (typically in Python or Rust) to support our growing fleet of self-designed/built charging stations being deployed across Europe. You will also work on backend-to-backend systems that connect Qwello’s systems to our partners’ services. Reliability and craftsmanship are important to you, so you aim to design with automatic testability, resilience, introspection, and observability in mind. Security is important to you. You are an efficient engineer, focused on executing your tasks well and learning quickly. You are a good communicator and a free thinker with an inquisitive mindset and an eye for detail. 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, you’re motivated to continue learning and developing your skills.

Let's power the future together! ⚡
