Founding Engineer
(€90K – €150K • Offers Equity)
What You’ll Do:
-
Build core product features end-to-end (backend and/or mobile/web), from idea to production.
-
Take full ownership of projects: scope, architecture, implementation, and rollout.

Jump onto critical initiatives (SDK, network, new product bets) and unblock them fast.
-
Ship high-quality, testable code at high speed.

Using AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) as part of your everyday toolkit — we actively encourage AI-assisted development.
What You Need:

Strong experience as a senior-level engineer in product teams.
-
Deep hands-on skills in backend (e.g. TypeScript/Node).

Proven zero-to-one experience (early-stage startup, founding engineer, or similar).
-
Track record of owning complex projects and delivering them to production.
You Are:
-
A builder with a strong ownership mindset and high output.
-
Comfortable with ambiguity, fast decisions, and a high bar for quality.

-
A clear communicator in English, both written and spoken.
