Ready to own it, build it, and grow it?

About us:

We are Publitas! We’re a remote-first, fast-growing SaaS company helping brands turn static content into digital discovery experiences that drive results.

We’re not about busywork, hierarchy, or hand-holding. We hire sharp minds, trust them fully, and measure success by real results, not noise. If you thrive in autonomy, challenge, and high ownership, you’ll love it here.

This role is for you if you…

• Get excited by taking ownership and figuring things out proactively.
• Thrive in a remote, async, fast-paced environment.
• Are striving to deliver impact, not just running tasks.
• Think in systems but execute with creativity.
• Are direct, collaborative, and have a growth mindset

This role is NOT for you if you…

• Need layers of process or someone to constantly tell you what to do.
• Prefer “business as usual” over change.
• Want a team where mediocre is okay.
• Have never worked remotely and think async means “lonely”
• Are waiting for permission instead of taking initiative.

The work you’ll do…

• Collaborating with a cross‑functional team to translate customer needs and product vision into new features.
• Helping us maintain and improve our platform's performance, stability, and scalability.
• Contributing to our backend architecture and strategy.
• You will be involved in monitoring and triaging issues & bugs.
• You will help and mentor less experienced developers and help us build a strong engineering team.

What you’ll bring to the team:

• You have several years of experience building web applications in node.js and other technologies and frameworks. Our backend is mostly Ruby on Rails and Node.js.
• You can work back from the problem domain towards technical solutions, making technical decisions and breaking problems into manageable chunks on the way.
• You have experience releasing, maintaining, and scaling a SaaS product on the public cloud. Our product runs on AWS.
• You're a strong, written and verbal communicator, very fluent, and comfortable with English. You can explain technical concepts and help bring consensus within the team.
• It’s a bonus if you have experience with our frontend technologies, React and Redux, and can build simple things end‑to‑end.
• It is an extra advantage if you have experience with data pipelines and data modeling using technologies like Apache Spark. As well as experience or an affinity with DevOps technologies, such as Infrastructure As Code.

What We Provide to Help You Win…

• Salary: €61,000–€80,000 per year (gross), depending on your experience level and location.
• 25 vacation days + your local national holidays
• A top‑tier MacBook and remote‑ready gear
• Monthly wellness budget to invest in your health
• Co‑Working allowance
• Events, training, or courses that directly and primarily contribute to your work at Publitas
• Free books on Kindle and Audible
• Free Publitas Swag (merchandise)

How to apply…

We don’t ask for CVs or cover letters. Why? Because they rarely tell us who you are or what you’re truly great at.

Instead, we ask smart questions and give you a chance to show us what you’d bring to the role.

No fluff. Just real insight into what it’s like to work together.
