ChargePoint
About this role
ChargePoint runs one of the world's largest electric vehicle charging networks, listed on the NYSE and building hardware, software and mobile products across North America and Europe. This role is backend work on the cloud platform behind that network. The posting is titled Software Engineer but describes the job as a PHP developer role, so read it as backend engineering in PHP and Node.js over MySQL or Postgres, with Kafka and RabbitMQ for messaging and React on the front. The infrastructure side uses GitOps and Kubernetes for deployment. You would maintain and extend the platform with a focus on stability, performance and scalability, and take part in architecture discussions where the posting explicitly invites you to challenge other people's proposals.
Who this is for
What the posting asks for:
- 5+ years of experience with PHP, Node.js and relational databases such as MySQL or Postgres, plus Kafka, RabbitMQ and React.
- Profound experience in backend development.
- Experience with object oriented programming.
- Experience designing APIs.
- Experience with event based distributed applications.
- A focus on clean and readable code.
- Source code management with Git.
- The ability to work in a team and a willingness to take part in an open feedback culture.
The day to day: working with other developers to align on project goals, architecture and delivery timelines; implementing and maintaining scalable software in PHP while balancing technical excellence against pragmatic delivery; using GitOps, Kubernetes and related tools to streamline deployment and infrastructure management; and taking part in architecture discussions, bringing new ideas and constructively challenging others. You would report to a Software Engineering Manager.
Experience: the posting states 5+ years, and lists the specific technologies inside that same requirement rather than separately, so the years are expected to include PHP and Node.js.
Location: Bangalore.
A note on the title: the posting is listed as Software Engineer but the description opens with "As a PHP Developer", so the role is squarely backend PHP work. If PHP is not a language you want on your next CV line, that is worth knowing before you apply rather than after.
Company context: ChargePoint has focused solely on electric mobility since 2007 and trades on the NYSE as CHPT. The posting frames electric vehicles as heading toward more than half of new vehicle sales by 2040.
Who should apply: a backend engineer with five or more years in PHP and Node who wants scale and a sector with a long runway. Charging networks are real infrastructure work with genuine reliability requirements, which makes this more interesting than a generic PHP posting.
