Staff Engineer

(€135K – €190K • Offers Equity • Offers Bonus)

What You’ll Do:

• Build core product features end-to-end (backend and/or frontend/mobile/web), from idea to production.

• Define technical architecture and make system-level decisions that other engineers build on.

• 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 / staff-level engineer in product teams.

• Strong backend foundation (e.g. TypeScript/Node); full-stack, mobile, or frontend experience a strong plus.

• 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, direct communicator in English who can align stakeholders and elevate the engineers around you.
