Job description

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 is the software creation platform that gives people the power to act on the problems closest to them. For decades, turning an idea into software required so much capital, technical fluency, and time that many ideas never came to life. Lovable is the counterargument: a platform for all people with ideas, ambition, and problems worth solving. From solopreneurs to small business owners to teams at companies like Adidas and Zendesk, people have built over 60 million projects on Lovable since its launch in November 2024. And we’re just getting started.

We’re building a generational company from Stockholm, with growing teams in London, Boston, New York, and San Francisco. Our team is small, talent-dense, and moving quickly, with a culture rooted in extreme ownership, high velocity, and low-ego collaboration. We look for people who care deeply, ship fast, and are eager to make a dent in the world.

Lovable is one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies and has been recognized on the Forbes AI 50 and CNBC Disruptor 50, reflecting our momentum as one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI companies and one of the most ambitious places to build in this next era of software.

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.

Our tech stack

We’re building with tools that both humans and AI love:

• Frontend: React
• Backend: Golang and Rust
• Cloud: Cloudflare, GCP, AWS, Many LLM providers
• DevOps & Tooling: Github Actions, Grafana, OTEL, , infra-as-code (Terraform)

And always on the lookout for what’s next!
