Backend Engineer

We are a well-funded, early-stage technology company on a mission to fundamentally redefine the way the world searches, discovers, and transacts, built on a philosophy that puts the user first at every step.

• Design and build the core API platform and integration framework with strong versioning, consistency, and deep awareness of production consumer dependencies
• Build extensible third-party integration frameworks that connect external services across multiple domains through clean, unified interfaces
• Design and build unified identity and profile systems that deliver consistent, real-time user state across the platform
• Build high-reliability event streaming infrastructure as the backbone for real-time data flows, with strong guarantees around ordering, consumer management, and failure recovery
• Implement authentication and authorization infrastructure including OAuth 2.0, OIDC, fine-grained permissions, and secure multi-tenant access control suitable for consumer platforms with enterprise customers
• Build enterprise integration layers with secure API surfaces and data exchange protocols that allow institutional customers to reliably embed platform capabilities into their own systems

• MSc in Computer Science or Software Engineering from KTH, Chalmers, or an institution of equivalent standing
• Demonstrated experience originating distributed system architectures; you have designed systems, not implemented designs made by others
• Production experience building APIs that multiple consumers depend on; with experience managing the operational consequences of that dependency
• Deep understanding of event-driven architecture and the consistency trade-offs inherent in distributed data synchronization

• Expect the most talented, rigorous, and driven colleagues you have worked with; people who lift each other up and hold each other to the highest standard.
• Compensation includes an attractive salary and meaningful equity ownership for an early-stage startup.
