Remote Backend Developer (Europe)

Can Your Code Empower Seamless Digital Experiences?

Every robust application starts with an invisible engine—one that quietly fuels every interaction, powers every feature, and scales to meet tomorrow’s needs. As a remote backend developer in Europe, you’ll architect that invisible power, crafting secure, resilient infrastructure that drives high-impact products for tens of thousands of users. If transforming technical challenges into business value energizes you, you’ll find this role rewarding and meaningful.

The Difference You’ll Make

Your backend code will shape the reliability, security, and scalability of customer-facing platforms that people rely on daily. When a new feature launches without a hitch or a data migration is seamless for every end user, that’s your signature work in action. You’ll set up streamlined workflows so onboarding feels effortless and real-time collaboration becomes second nature across continents. Every pull request is an opportunity to make someone’s job—or day—a little easier.

What Success Looks Like

• Your API endpoints don’t just pass tests; they deliver lightning-fast responses that keep frontends responsive and users delighted.
• Your database design prevents bottlenecks and supports future product pivots without significant refactoring.
• You proactively identify security vulnerabilities, safeguarding sensitive data and customer trust.
• Your documentation is so clear that onboarding a new teammate feels effortless, whether they’re in Lisbon or Warsaw.
• You simplify complex ideas—whether it’s over Zoom or Slack—building a culture of trust and knowledge sharing.

How You’ll Drive Impact

• Build and optimize scalable RESTful and GraphQL APIs used by over 20,000 users worldwide.
• Guide feature development cycles, partnering with design, QA, and support so every deployment delivers value.
• Shape CI/CD pipelines that turn code into production-ready releases—fast, safely, and with minimal drama.
• Introduce smart caching, automated testing, and thoughtful logging to enable engineers to move quickly without compromising quality.
• Mentor peers through code reviews, helping the team raise the technical bar and learn new patterns.
• Balance technical debt and new feature work, always considering long-term system health and customer needs.

Tech Stack & Tools You’ll Master

Expect to work with a modern stack that keeps you sharp and learning:

• Node.js, Python, or Go for building and maintaining APIs
• PostgreSQL and MongoDB for data storage, with Redis for caching
• Docker and Kubernetes to orchestrate containers and keep deployments smooth
• AWS, GCP, or Azure for scalable cloud infrastructure
• GitHub Actions or GitLab CI for automated builds, testing, and deployment
• Jira and Notion for backlog workflows, roadmap alignment, and sprint planning
• Sentry and Datadog to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize system performance

Your Collaborative Environment

• You’ll partner with design, engineering, and support to build unified solutions, not just hand-off features.
• Our remote collaboration tools—Slack, Zoom, Notion—support both async and real-time alignment, letting you focus intensely while staying connected.
• We move quickly, but you’ll always have space to focus intensely on big architectural decisions.
• Autonomy and initiative aren’t buzzwords here—they’re how we get things done. If you spot an opportunity to improve, we trust you to drive meaningful change.
• Feedback is candid and kind, and everyone’s voice matters when discussing trade-offs or tackling blockers.

Qualities for Thriving in This Role

• You translate business needs into technical plans, weighing both immediate impact and future growth.
• Your troubleshooting is creative: when an outage occurs at 2 AM, you dig for root causes and build resilient fixes, not just quick patches.
• Curiosity fuels your work; whether learning a new framework or sharing insights at an internal lunch & learn, you bring ideas that spark team growth.
• Your insights from technical retrospectives will shape process improvements across teams.
• Resilience and adaptability: New priorities? Evolving product requirements? You adapt quickly and turn ambiguity into clarity.

Why This Remote Role?

• Work from anywhere in Europe—no commute, no boundaries, results that matter.
• Your contributions are visible: you’ll see feedback from teammates and users as your features launch and evolve.
• Enjoy a flexible schedule built around deep focus, not just meetings.
• Be part of a global engineering culture where knowledge is shared, achievements are celebrated, and growth never stops.
• A benefits package tailored to support your life and ambitions, including a competitive annual salary of $120,086.
