About Gigs

At Gigs, we’re building the operating system for mobile services—a platform that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products effortlessly. Just as Stripe lets any business add a payment button in seconds, Gigs empowers platforms to weave in connectivity—bridging the traditional world of telecom with modern tech. From fintechs launching mobile services to HR platforms offering work phone plans, we automate provisioning and remove telecom complexity. Our team of around 90 people across the US and Europe, backed by nearly $100 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator, is tackling deep technical and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly seamless.

The Role

• Own complex problems end-to-end, working with our talented team to design and build robust, scalable solutions.
• Develop innovative products that empower our customers to bring world‑class connectivity services to their users with ease.
• Uphold our high engineering standards, improving tooling and processes where necessary.
• Design, build, and maintain best‑in‑class APIs and services, mostly in Ruby and Go.
• Maintain the reliability of our systems by building for observability and participating in incident response as needed.

Salary range: €85k - €120k.

We provide more information about how we work on our engineering page.

What We Are Looking For

• You have experience designing APIs and building backend services. You enjoy thinking about systems, and you care about the quality of the software you produce.
• You enjoy building products from scratch, finding the right solution to customer needs, and are comfortable taking ownership and delivering.
• You love learning new technologies as you go, and always want to find the right tool for the job.
• You care about more than just engineering and need to see the business impacts of everything you do. You know how to make speed/quality trade‑offs.

Before You Apply…

The truth is, what we’re building isn’t easy. We expect a lot, and operate with urgency and ownership. This won’t be the right place for everyone, and that’s okay.

This role probably isn’t a fit if:

• You need a lot of structure, or layers of process to do your best work.
• You prefer to specialize narrowly and wait for direction rather than taking initiative.
• You’re uncomfortable making decisions with imperfect information or wearing multiple hats.
• You’re looking for a “big company” setup — we’re still building many things for the first time.

But if you’re excited by the idea of building from zero, working with passion, and leaving your mark on something that matters, we’d love to meet you.

Work at Gigs

We’re remote‑friendly by design, but we also offer hubs for those who need the energy and focus that only in‑person collaboration can bring. Gigs Pads: Our hubs in San Francisco, London, Amsterdam, and Berlin are vibrant spots where Gigsters connect, collaborate, and create together. Gigs Republic: Twice a year, our entire company comes together to strengthen bonds, align on big ideas, and share experiences that fuel our culture and ignite growth.

• Competitive compensation and stock options.
• Stipends for your home office or work setup.
• A budget for learning and development to fuel your career.
• A free phone and international data plan.
