  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to performance and scalability

What you will do:

  • Design, develop, and maintain backend services using Python and Java.
  • Support and contribute to the gradual migration from Python-based services to Java, ensuring stability and continuityBuild and maintain RESTful APIs and backend integrations.
  • Participate in system design and architectural discussions, especially around service boundaries and migration strategy.
  • Work with distributed systems and microservices.
  • Integrate with third-party services and external APIs.
  • Write clean, well-tested, and maintainable code following best practices.

  • High ownership and autonomy in a fast-growing startup environment
  • A strong culture grounded in speed, ownership, trust, transparency, customer obsession, and excellence.

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.
