Almedia median: 28 days open

The posting

Our bar is high, and this is the best place for ambitious builders.

Bootstrapped and profitable from day one, Almedia is Germany’s fastest-growing company (FT1000). Join us as we build the global leader in rewards, at a $1bn+ revenue run rate and climbing fast.

We’re looking for a Founding Engineer to work directly with leadership on high-impact, zero-to-one projects. If you love taking full ownership, moving fast, and building real products end-to-end, we want to hear from you.

FOUNDING ENGINEER

€90K – €150K

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.

- Work closely with whoever is needed to shape what we build next.

- 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.

- Product-minded: you care about impact, not just code.

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

WHY ALMEDIA?

- High Impact: Work on company-defining projects, not tickets in a queue.

- Scale With Almedia: Join a profitable, high-growth startup early.

- Great Environment: Central Berlin office, transport subsidy, breakfasts and lunches, language learning, Urban Sports Club, and more.

We believe in fostering talent, evaluating all skill levels during the hiring process, and providing a clear path for growth. Almedia is an equal opportunity employer. We embrace and celebrate diversity, and encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
