The role, in one line

You will ship entire, highly complex features to production across a product built on many services and more than one technology, picking up new tools as the work needs them.

What you will own

• Contribute to implementing new features and resolving bugs in your domain area, with high-quality, maintainable code that meets team standards.
• Take part in the complete product development lifecycle: planning, implementation, code reviews, testing, deployments, and post-release support.
• Write modular, clean, testable code that avoids language and structure-related mistakes.
• Apply the right testing strategy (unit, integration, e2e) for strong coverage and reliability.
• Own well-defined tasks and work on them autonomously. When something is uncertain, ask for input and confirm the scope and edge cases before you start.
• Work with product managers, designers, and engineers to understand problems, weigh trade-offs, and deliver solutions that support business goals.
• Review pull requests constructively. Communicate clearly about your work, and share updates, blockers, and risks early.
• Build a strong understanding of the domain and the wider system, so you can give accurate estimates and deliver high-quality work.

What you will need

Must-have

• Advanced programming experience and in-depth knowledge of Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Docker, Google Cloud, React, React Native, and Apache Kafka.
• A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
• 3+ years of relevant work experience.
• Experience with agile processes, continuous delivery, and continuous integration.
• The ability to multitask and organize your work.
• The ability to prioritize.
• Integrity and a strong work ethic.

Nice-to-have

• Experience with LLMs, AI-driven architectures, and autonomous agents.
• Experience with vector databases, embedding models, and MLOps practices.

What you will get

• Recharge properly — 30 days of paid holiday
• Change the view — a week-long exchange to London, Amsterdam, Paris, Munich, Vilnius, Berlin, Sofia, or Barcelona
• Win together, celebrate together — regular team-wide events that are actually worth showing up to
• Covered, properly — additional medical care
• Stay in the game — a sports card, fully funded, for the gym, classes, or your sport of choice
• Commute easily — a monthly travel allowance that covers getting to and from the office
• Use what you build — hands-on access to the actual product you're hiring people to help build
