Backend Engineer

Location Qualifications: This role is available for hybrid work (2 days in office) from our office in Bucharest.

About the position

We aren’t just building another tool; we are redefining how global sales and marketing teams create, organize, and deploy content at scale. As a Backend Engineer, you won’t just "write code"—you will engineer solutions. You’ll have the autonomy to architect cloud-native features, optimize complex systems, and own the entire development lifecycle.

If you’re a mid-level engineer ready to transition from "executing tasks" to "owning the landscape," this is your seat at the table.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement scalable, cloud-native solutions that handle high-velocity content distribution.
• From initial requirement gathering to deployment and monitoring, you own your features end-to-end.
• Participate in deep-dive code reviews and mentor peers, ensuring our codebase stays robust, testable, and clean.
• Tackle intricate challenges in cloud architecture, database optimization, and messaging systems.
• We work in an agile, iterative environment where your ideas on improving our stack are not just heard—they’re expected.

Required Skills

• Proficiency in at least one modern backend ecosystem—Node.js/TypeScript, Go, or Python.
• Proven experience building within AWS (or similar providers) and a solid grasp of microservices or serverless patterns.
• A "test-first" mentality and a passion for writing maintainable, high-performance code.
• The ability to navigate complex architectures and identify where a system can be made more resilient or efficient.

Nice to haves

• Experience building SaaS products at scale.
• Familiarity with Digital Asset Management (DAM) or CMS architectures.
• Legacy-curious: You don't mind diving into PHP when the mission requires it.
