• Competitive salary: €100K–€120K + equity
• Remote-friendly, ideally within a few hours of CET

What They’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in backend development
• Ideally Rust in production, or Go/Java engineers with solid Rust side projects
• Strong SQL and PostgreSQL experience
• Familiarity with distributed systems and containerisation (Docker, K8s)
• Bonus: hands-on experience with LLMs or AI infrastructure

Why Join

• Join a small, high-quality engineering team where your work directly impacts the product
• Work on technically challenging and rewarding problems
• Backed by a top-tier European VC with plenty of runway
