Build, run, and improve backend services and microservices that serve tens of millions of users.
Own features end to end — design, implementation, rollout, and production ownership of what you ship.
Take part in design reviews: propose a design, explain your trade-offs, and take feedback on both.
Build features on top of LLMs where they genuinely fit the problem — and say so when they do not.
Improve the reliability and performance of the services you own, and pay down tech debt as you go.
Raise code quality around you through reviews, tests, and shared libraries and tooling.

Sound software design instincts: clean service boundaries, sensible data modeling, and a feel for when a simpler solution beats a clever one. You know the common design patterns and when not to reach for one.
3+ years of professional backend experience building and running services in production.
Strong proficiency in at least one general-purpose language — Go/Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Nodejs
Working knowledge of Golang — a strong plus. Our backend stack is Go-heavy, but strong engineers pick up a new language fast and we expect you to.
Experience shipping AI-powered features to production.
Open source contributions or tech community involvement.
Working experience with two or more data systems (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Redis, Kafka, Cassandra), and comfort with Docker, Kubernetes, microservices, and event-driven architectures.
AI agents in your daily workflow. What we mean by that is spelled out below, and it is a way of working rather than a list of tools.
BA or MA in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field — or a competitive programming background in place of one.

Show full description

Working with AI - we mean this specifically

Our engineers use AI agents daily. We look for habit and judgement, not enthusiasm or prompt tricks.
You verify what comes back. You have caught an agent being confidently wrong.
You delegate deliberately, and brief it properly — what done looks like, and the context to get there.
Our code, customer data and credentials stay out of outside tools, and you read a command before an agent runs it.
You own agent-written code as your own and can defend it.

Benefits:

Working in a young, dynamic, and supportive environment
Receive 100% salary during the probation.
Social insurance full-salary for employee in the probation
Premium healthcare for employees.
Get 15 days of annual leave + 5 days of sick leave + 1 birthday leave + 1 Christmas day leave per year
Get a 13th-month salary and annual performance bonus.
Laptop device will be provided
Learning and career development opportunities with access to Coursera, Udemy, and O’Reilly.
Complimentary fruits, coffee, and tea are provided at the office.
Our modern offices serve perfectly for a relaxed, yet productive work environment.
You will grow with the FRUIT values of Fast Growth, Responsibility, User-first, Integrity, and Team.
