Company mission
To reinvent charging to accelerate the transition to sustainable mobility.
Role
Who you are
- 5 to 10 years of backend software development experience on production systems, ideally in transactional environments (payments, billing, fintech, marketplaces, B2B SaaS) or high-reliability contexts
- Dynamic, rigorous, with strong attention to detail (cash flow matters!)
- Nice to have: comfortable with data-heavy and business-model topics (reconciliation, consistency, auditability)
- Even if your profile doesn't match 100% of every criterion, we encourage you to apply
What the job involves
- The Cash Flow Team sits at the very heart of the business: payments, billing, dynamic pricing, and more broadly everything that turns a charging session into a clean, traceable, reconcilable, and scalable financial flow
- (The construction phase is largely behind us, we’re now entering a strategic phase where we explore new technical solutions to maximize our revenue streams.)
- You’ll join an international Tech Team (50+ engineers across 10 countries) organized into autonomous squads
- Each squad owns its scope end-to-end: design, delivery, production, and run
- Stack & Environment
- Backend: Go (high-performance & concurrent services), Ruby on Rails (back-office & business logic)
- Data: PostgreSQL, Redis
- Messaging: NATS
- Cloud & Ops: AWS (ECS, RDS Aurora…), Docker, CI/CD, Datadog
- AI: Dust & Cursor
- As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll act as a technical reference and delivery driver on critical topics (payments, billing, pricing), with high standards around robustness, observability, and business correctness
- Design and build reliable backend services (APIs, async workflows, batch & real-time processing) around billing, payments, and pricing
- Translate complex business requirements (dynamic pricing, real-time congestion management, billing rules, VAT, discounts, B2B contracts, reconciliation) into simple, testable, and maintainable systems
- Secure production: error handling, traceability, monitoring, alerting, and fast incident diagnosis
- Proactively contribute to architecture decisions (event-driven systems, integration patterns, service boundaries, performance & concurrency)
- Raise the team’s bar through demanding code reviews, best-practice sharing, mentoring, and continuous improvement
- Take full ownership of features, from technical design to delivery and QA before production release
- Depending on priorities, you may work on:
- Payments: payment flow orchestration, new payment methods, international scaling (new currencies)
- Billing: invoice generation, tax handling, multi-session consolidation, credit notes, auditability, e-invoicing across our 10 markets
- Dynamic pricing: pricing rules, A/B testing, business constraints, real-time vs reporting consistency
- Reconciliation & control: ensuring that “what was charged” = “what was billed” = “what was collected”, with robust and observable workflows
- Scalability: database optimization, load handling, high availability
- Congestion management

Our take
As more people make the change to electric vehicles, public charging stations are in high demand. Electra is revolutionising electric vehicle charging with its installation of fast charging stations across major and medium-sized urban areas across Europe. In addition to the obvious benefit of having access to a fast-charging station, the company’s mobile and web application makes finding a station as simple as possible with its unique features.
The company has received support and recognition from the French government, joining the French Tech Next40, a government support program dedicated to the most promising French scale-ups and future European heavyweights.
The company saw a substantial injection of funding in mid-2022 that has enabled it to accelerate its coverage of France and further expand across European markets in Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and more. Planning to deploy 8,000 charging stations by 2030, the young company secured a $430 million green loan facility in 2025 to accelerate its progress.
