Descripción del empleo

🎯 What You’ll Actually Do

• Architect, refactor, and scale a high-load distributed system where failure is not an option.
• Lead by example - code, review, debug, and mentor through doing, not preaching.
• Tune performance until it screams - reduce latency, optimize throughput, and kill inefficiencies.
• Make tough calls: design trade-offs, architecture rewrites, tech debt prioritization.
• Work side-by-side with Product Owners and Solution Architects - no “handoffs,” just shared goals.
• Build systems that outlive trends - resilient, measurable, and elegant.
• Jump into incidents, own RCA, and make sure it never happens again.
• Push the “PoC-first” mindset - test fast, fail smart, scale what works.

🧠 What You Bring

• 5+ years of backend experience - you’ve built serious stuff, not toy projects.
• Deep in Node.js / TypeScript, comfortable with async flows, gRPC, and Kafka.
• Hands‑on with Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS.
• You can diagram a microservice architecture from memory - and then improve it.
• Obsessed with performance metrics, observability, and efficiency.
• You think like an engineer, act like an architect, and deliver like an owner.
• You’ve led engineers - maybe not by title, but by respect and example.
• Bonus: You’ve touched ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or DynamoDB.

🔧 How We Work

• Speed > perfection. Build fast, measure, and move on.
• Impact > output. One scalable fix beats ten “good-enough” features.
• Depth > talk. We respect engineers who know their stack and their product.
• Direct > polite. Say what’s broken, fix it, move forward.
• No heroes, no silos. We win as a team or not at all.

🔥 What We Offer

• Fully remote. Work from anywhere in Europe.
• Unlimited vacation + paid sick leave. Life happens — take time.
• Quarterly bonuses. Real performance, real rewards.
• Medical insurance for you and your partner.
• Learning budget for courses, conferences, and certifications.
• Ownership and autonomy. You decide how to make things faster, cleaner, better.
• No bureaucracy, no filler. Just meaningful engineering work.

👉Apply now, if you’re the kind of engineer who runs toward complexity, who sees product value in milliseconds and infrastructure elegance - then you’ll feel at home here.
