Job description

TL;DR:We're seeking exceptional senior engineers and technical leaders for our Product team to help build the future of AI software creation. You will work across our entire stack to build features that will empower the next generation of creators and builders.

Why Lovable?

Lovable lets anyone and everyone build software with any language. From solopreneurs to Fortune 100 teams, millions of people use Lovable to transform raw ideas into real products - fast. We are at the forefront of a foundational shift in software creation, which means you have an unprecedented opportunity to change the way the digital world works. Lovable-built applications and websites are visited hundreds of millions of times a month, and our enterprise footprint is compounding fast. And we’re just getting started.

We’re a small, talent-dense team building a generation-defining company from Stockholm. We value extreme ownership, high velocity, and low-ego collaboration. We seek out people who care deeply, ship fast, and are eager to make a dent in the world.

What we’re looking for

• 10+ years of experience designing, building, and shipping production products, with a track record operating at senior engineering levels.

• Deep experience across the full stack, or strong backend depth - fluent in modern frontend (React/TypeScript) and/or backend (Golang, Rust) development.

• Solid understanding of systems design, performance tradeoffs, and scalable architecture for products serving millions of users.

• Strong product sense and the ability to make well-reasoned technical decisions - knowing when to prioritise speed and when to invest in foundational work.

• You own systems end-to-end: architecture, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration.

• You're comfortable navigating ambiguity and driving clarity at an organisational level, not just technically.

What you’ll do

In one sentence: Do all it takes to build a generational product - scaling the core Lovable experience for millions of users worldwide.

• Build and scale the systems that power Lovable products, ensuring they're fast, reliable, and ready to support millions of users.

• Implement and maintain features across the stack - frontend, backend, and infrastructure - owning them from architecture through to production.

• Design, implement, and maintain backend services, APIs, and infrastructure components built for scale.

• Collaborate closely with ML, design, and product teams to translate capabilities into intuitive, mind-blowing user experiences.

• Drive the full development lifecycle, from technical planning to production launch and post-release iteration.

• Contribute to shaping our technical direction, engineering culture, and product strategy.

• Frontend: React

• Backend: Golang and Rust

• Cloud: Cloudflare, GCP, AWS, Many LLM providers
