• Establish and enforce best practices around code quality, testing, and deployment

• Be a hands-on builder while planning for scale and long-term growth

• Build the internal dev team over time and mentor junior engineers

• Evaluate and integrate third-party tools and services as needed

What we’re looking for:

• 4+ years of experience in software development, including shipping real products

• Deep proficiency in modern JavaScript frameworks (React, React Native, Node.js)

• Experience with backend systems, APIs, and cloud infrastructure (Firebase, Supabase, AWS, etc.)

• Strong eye for quality, performance, and maintainability

• Ability to translate business and user needs into practical engineering solutions

• Autonomy, speed, and a startup mindset

• Clear communicator who can collaborate across disciplines

Nice-to-have:

• Timezone: CET (+/- 3 hours)

• Experience leading teams or managing contractors

• Exposure to mobile development (iOS/Android native or cross-platform)

• Familiarity with deployment pipelines (CI/CD, Vercel, GitHub Actions, etc.)

• Interest in low-code/no-code tools (Framer, Webflow, Zapier) as part of tech stack

• Experience with scaling products and handling technical debt responsibly

What we offer:

• Full technical ownership across internal products and ventures

• The opportunity to shape and build the internal development team

• Work on design-forward, ambitious digital products with top-tier clients

• Access to interesting, fast-paced projects with a real impact

• Flat structure and minimal bureaucracy

• Creative freedom to propose and implement your ideas

• Potential for equity or profit share on select client or internal projects

Your benefits:

• Remote-first flexibility (work from anywhere)

• 4-day work week (One paid “Reflection Day” weekly)

• High performance-based bonuses

• Creative autonomy and technical leadership

• Profit sharing or equity opportunities on select projects

• Premium tools and hardware provided (MacBook, GitHub Copilot, etc.)

• Minimal meetings – deep work and focus are prioritized

• Personal development budget (courses, books, conferences)

• Direct collaboration with founders and cross-functional teams

• Opportunity to define and scale the technical culture from the ground up
