📋 Description

• Identify and execute improvements to the codebase that make it easier for both humans and AI agents to move fast and ship safely. • Work with a group of senior engineers in a low-process environment powered by trust and autonomy. • Drive decisions and consensus asynchronously with thoughtful documentation and specs. • Own features end-to-end — from the backend systems to the partner-facing surface. You'll primarily work on the backend, but expect to use AI tooling to move across the stack as needed. We care that you can ship a complete feature, not that you can write production-grade React from memory. • Architect scalable solutions and foundational patterns that let us efficiently launch new partner experiences. • Work directly with PMs and business partners to define and refine our roadmap. Your voice and technical vision matter. • Collaborate with a diverse group of people, giving and receiving feedback for growth.

🎯 Requirements

• A natural drive to fearlessly dive into an unknown codebase and deliver results fast. • Strong product thinking — your conception of quality and architecture is anchored in the customer experience, not in technical elegance for its own sake. • The ability to direct AI agents and automated workflows to build and maintain complex systems, and the judgment to know when to step in and when to let them run. • Experience designing the guardrails and feedback loops that keep AI-assisted development productive and reliable. • Experience with, or a mastery-level willingness to learn, distributed system development in Scala. • The ability to articulate not just how you'd solve a problem, but why, and what tradeoffs you're accepting.

🏖️ Benefits

• Well-funded and proven startup with large ambitions, competitive salary, upsides of pre-IPO equity packages. • Hopper covers 100% of the premiums for the employee for a group insurance plan through Vitality Health. • Automatic contributions when you start with Hopper through Smart Pension. • Please ask us about our very generous parental leave, much above industry standards!. • Access to co-working space on demand through FlexDesk AND Work-from-home stipend. • Carrot Cash travel stipend. • Unlimited PTO. • Entrepreneurial culture where pushing limits and taking risks is everyday business. • Open communication with management and company leadership. • Small, dynamic teams = massive impact.
