Job – Staff Engineer – nineDots

Remote EU-only Staff Engineer role for a hands-on backend specialist to own systems from design to production, shape architecture, mentor engineers, and solve difficult scaling problems in a high-growth product environment.

Overview

This is a remote role for engineers who like building, not just talking about it.

You'll be joining a team of strong engineers looking for someone who can take ownership of backend systems from design through to production. The environment is fast-moving, with most weeks being fairly normal, but with occasional periods where the team needs to pull together to get something over the line.

What You'll Be Doing

• Take ownership of backend systems from design through to production
• Design APIs
• Work hands-on with AWS
• Contribute to architecture discussions
• Mentor other engineers
• Stay close to the code and help solve difficult technical problems

What You'll Need to Succeed

• Experience building scalable backend systems
• Strong backend engineering experience in Go, Java, Kotlin, Python, TypeScript, or another modern language
• Ability to work hands-on while contributing at a wider architectural level
• Comfort operating in a fast-moving scale-up environment
• A mindset that enjoys ownership, problem-solving, and being challenged by strong peers

Nice to Have

• Experience with B2B SaaS products
• Experience in product-led environments
• Experience in high-growth businesses
• Exposure to Rust and AWS Serverless

What's In It for You

• Remote role within the EU only
• Salary of $190,000-$250,000 DOE
• Opportunity to work with a high-calibre engineering team
• Technology-agnostic hiring focused on engineering quality rather than box-ticking

Please note: you'll need to operate through your own limited company as there is currently no EU entity.
