Photoroom is a platform that enables users to create professional images easily through its AI-driven photo and design editing tools. It caters to businesses of all sizes, helping them produce high-quality visuals for e-commerce, marketing, and social media without requiring professional design skills. With features like background removal, image resizing, and batch editing, Photoroom streamlines visual content production to enhance business performance.

📋 Description

• You will design, build, and evolve our public API product — the core interface through which developers access Photoroom's AI capabilities. • Public API experience is a must-have. • You will ship features used by both self-serve developers and large enterprise customers, ensuring the API remains reliable, scalable, and easy to integrate. • You will own the API surface end-to-end: from design decisions (naming, versioning, structure) to implementation, performance, and long-term maintainability. • You will iterate quickly based on real usage — we ship multiple times per week — using data and user feedback to prioritise what matters most. • You will work at the intersection of backend engineering and AI, abstracting complex image models into simple, elegant developer-facing interfaces. • You will collaborate closely with product, machine learning, backend, and sales teams to ensure the API delivers real value to users. • You will join a small, senior team with high ownership and direct product impact from day one.

🎯 Requirements

• You have strong experience building backend systems in Python, with a focus on APIs used by external consumers (not just internal services). • You are comfortable with FastAPI (or similar frameworks) and have worked with async patterns, concurrency, and production debugging. • You have owned or significantly contributed to the design of public-facing APIs — thinking about versioning, consistency, and long-term evolution. • You care deeply about reliability, performance, and developer experience. • You are pragmatic and product-minded — you prioritise impact and speed, and avoid over-engineering. • You take ownership and are comfortable making decisions, while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams. • You have worked in high-performing teams, ideally in fast-paced or start-up environments. • You communicate clearly and can translate technical decisions into something others can understand.

🏖️ Benefits

• Work flexibly from Germany, UK, Italy, France, Ireland, Portugal, or Spain, with monthly Paris office visits (fully reimbursed) • Regular team gatherings, including in-person onboarding in Paris (1–2 weeks), yearly company offsite and team retreat, quarterly in-person meetings, and social events • 30 days annual leave plus local public holidays • Competitive equity package with stock options/BSPCE, giving you ownership in our growing company • €1,000 one-time home office grant OR €400/month co-working space stipend (remote outside Paris) • €1,000 annual learning and development budget for training, courses, books, and skill development • Private health insurance • Relocation support (up to €10,000) for those choosing to move to France, including apartment finding and visa assistance • Access to personalised mental health support, including 1:1 sessions with therapists or coaches, self-care tools, and well-being resources via MokaCare • Sports and cultural activities reimbursement
