  • You think from first principles—breaking down complex problems and building logical, effective solutions.
  • You understand how distributed systems work together and have a proven ability to design scalable, maintainable architectures.
  • You thrive in cross-functional, remote-first environments and communicate clearly across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • You value ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement, with a focus on delivering measurable impact.

Preferred Experience

  • Proficiency in Python, Flask, RESTful API design, and AWS infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with Docker, Git, Elasticsearch, Spark, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Background as an early engineer in a startup, having built and scaled a product from the ground up.

Our Culture

We value curiosity, ownership, and impact. We raise the bar on everything we do and focus on outcomes that move the needle. As a fully distributed team across Asia and Europe, we operate on trust, transparency, and shared accountability. Your contributions will directly shape both the product and the engineering direction of the company.

Why Join?
