What they need


We are working with an early-stage European tech startup building a high-impact B2B software product with strong technical ambitions and a long-term vision.

The company is now looking for its Founding Engineer, someone who wants to build the technical foundations from scratch, shape engineering culture, and grow into a CTO role over time.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced backend engineer who wants to move from execution to ownership.

 

Responsibilities :

 

  • Design and build the backend architecture from the ground up

  • Develop core product features in Node.js or Python

  • Define engineering standards, tooling, and infrastructure

  • Set up deployment pipelines and production environments

  • Make long-term architectural decisions

  • Participate in product and technical strategy

  • Help build the future engineering team

 

Tech direction (Exact stack still flexible — you will help define it ) :

 

  • Backend: Node.js or Python

  • API-first architecture

  • Cloud infrastructure

  • Modern development practices

  • Scalable SaaS architecture

Profile wanted


  • 5–10+ years of backend engineering experience

  • Strong experience with Node.js and/or Python

  • Experience building products from scratch or early-stage systems

  • Comfortable making architecture decisions independently

  • Interest in startup environments

  • The role is fully English-speaking, so fluency in English is required

Other offers great for you!
