The company embraces a remote-first culture, with only one day per week required in the office, giving you the flexibility to work from home while being part of a close-knit, innovative team.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Proven experience in leading a team of developers.
  • Strong knowledge of systems programming, performance optimization, and concurrency in Rust.
  • Familiarity with Java and/or Golang is a plus, but not required.
  • Experience in building large-scale, distributed systems with a focus on reliability and performance.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a remote-first environment.
  • A proactive attitude and a drive to take ownership of technical challenges.
  • Fluent in English, both written and spoken.


What’s in It for You:

  • Competitive salary up to €7,000 gross per month, based on experience.
  • Excellent benefits package, including a pension scheme and health insurance.
  • Flexible working hours and the ability to work remotely (only 1 day per week required at the office).
  • Opportunity to work in a high-growth company with significant autonomy and influence over product development.
