This role is a good fit for someone who enjoys building systems that make infrastructure more scalable, reliable, and easy to operate – using code, not runbooks.
We’re especially interested in people who think like backend engineers but care deeply about systems – things like failure modes, operational cost, debuggability, and performance.
This role is based in our Warsaw office with an office-centric hybrid schedule.
The standard in-office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
Working from home on Fridays depends on the type of work you do, and your recruiter can share more about the in-office requirements.
Debug production issues across the stack. Yes, there’s an on-call rotation – but this isn’t a pager monkey role. You’re here to fix things properly and make sure they don’t break again.
Partner with product teams to shape a service-oriented architecture that enables fast, reliable development.
Share knowledge through code reviews, design discussions, and mentorship. About you:
experience building and operating backend systems at scale.
Clear communicator and strong collaborator – you're comfortable navigating trade-offs with stakeholders across the stack.
