Backend Engineer

The client is unlocking global hiring so companies can build exceptional teams from anywhere. Their mission is to become the most affordable and accessible global HR platform for more than 400 million businesses. They handle hiring, onboarding, payroll, compliance, and talent management across borders so companies can focus on building, not bureaucracy. They are scaling at incredible speed and transforming one of the fastest-growing industries in the world.

To fuel this momentum, the client is looking for a Back-End Engineer with strong experience in both Python and Java to help us maintain and improve their existing Python-based systems and support the design, build, and strategic transition of parts of their backend to Java. This is a hands‑on role with strong technical ownership and exposure to global-scale systems. This role goes beyond simply implementing requirements – you’d be a real product engineer taking extreme ownership over the quality of your product, caring deeply about our customers and what’s being built.

You will collaborate with international engineering, product, and design teams in a fully remote setup.
