Intermediate Backend Engineer, EMEA

Remote, Poland
Our take: The real work here is owning backend features end to end for a platform used by millions, writing and reviewing production code in a remote, self-directed team.
If you like owning a backend feature end to end, from clarifying the problem to watching it run for millions of users, this is that job. You will write and review real production code, learn fast through design and code review treated as a loop rather than a gate, and work remote-first with the space to direct yourself. It suits someone who writes clearly, adapts across languages, and wants their judgment sharpened alongside tenured engineers.
