What you'll do
  • Take ownership of complex backend systems end-to-end - from scoping and architecture to high-quality, reliable delivery
  • Design and build robust, scalable APIs and distributed systems that power our products and deliver exceptional performance
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Frontend, and Design teams to translate product ideas into well-architected backend solutions
  • Push the boundaries of what's possible with modern backend technologies, driving innovation in both architecture and developer experience
  • Contribute to evolving our backend architecture, infrastructure, and developer tooling to support rapid iteration at scale
  • Proactively identify opportunities to improve system performance, reliability, and developer experience - and drive those initiatives through to execution
What we're looking for
  • 5+ years of professional backend engineering experience, ideally in fast-paced startup or high-growth environments
  • Deep expertise in TypeScript and modern backend frameworks, with a proven track record of building and scaling production systems
  • Experience designing and implementing APIs (REST, GraphQL, or gRPC) that power user-facing products
  • Familiarity with cloud-native architectures, ideally on GCP (e.g. Cloud Functions, Cloud Tasks, Firestore)
  • Familiarity with DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code
  • Strong communication skills and a high sense of ownership - able to operate with autonomy while staying aligned with team goals
  • Some markers of excellence, which could also be non-work related, like having a high FIDE rating
  • Most importantly: we care deeply about working with genuinely kind, collaborative, and hard-working people who make the team better through empathy and openness
Tech Stack
  • Languages: TypeScript
  • Backend: GCP, Cloud Functions, Cloud Tasks, RabbitMC, Firestore, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch
  • AI Models: OpenAI, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Llama, etc.
Bonus Points
  • You've personally built and scaled a system (e.g. side project, startup, open-source) that handled significant traffic or complexity, and learned real lessons from it
  • Background working on AI products or data-heavy applications
  • Academic background in Computer Science or a related technical field
  • Experience in starting a company or working at a top-tier high-growth startup
What we offer
  • Exciting and challenging work with real impact and ownership at one of Europe's fastest-growing Series A startups
  • Regular team events and off-sites
  • Aggressive equity compensation package
  • Paid Uber Eats & Uber home when working late
