We are a team of 40, building thoughtfully and with care. This is a hybrid role in Barcelona—office-first but remote-friendly, emphasizing in-person collaboration.

Responsibilities

1. Build product features from start to finish, including conception, design, implementation, and maintenance, focusing on the editing experience.
2. Develop scalable infrastructure for transcription services, identifying coupling and extracting concerns into small, scalable services.
3. Enhance system performance, reliability, and efficiency by optimizing bottlenecks and reducing turnaround times.

• Interest in security and curiosity about engineering principles.
• Ability to mentor others and help junior engineers grow.
• Comfort with our language-agnostic approach; experience with Ruby on Rails and React is a plus but not required.

Company Culture & Perks

• Impact millions by improving transcription, translation, and subtitle workflows.
• Work with a small, high-performing team with a strong culture of trust and autonomy.
• Profitability and sustainable growth, no funding pressures.
• In-person collaboration in Barcelona, with flexible work arrangements and team retreats.
• International, inclusive environment with English as the common language.
• Competitive salary, equity, 30 days vacation, visa sponsorship, relocation support, hardware, learning allowances, private health insurance, and tax benefits.
