Founding Engineer
Way of working
You will be working in a horizontal structure, shoulder to shoulder with both co-founders, where your impact will dictate the product's direction in a very meaningful way.
Building in a competitive space like ours, you need to be curious, open-minded and humble when it comes to testing new tools and growing together with them.
We work on-site, in Vilnius.
The role
You'll touch the whole stack - backend services, the agent runtime, infrastructure, security, LLM integration. If a piece needs building, it's yours to pick up.
What we actually need from you
- Senior-level backend engineer. You've shipped real production systems and made crucial architectural decisions. Five years plus, but years matter less than what you've built.
- Comfortable with TypeScript, or willing to switch into it. If you've been writing Node, Nest, Fastify, Express, Adonis, or similar - great. If you're coming from PHP (Symfony/Laravel), Go, Java, Python, or C# and willing to switch, also great. Type discipline matters more than language background.
- You've worked with containers and at least one cloud. Docker is a given. Kubernetes is a big bonus. GCP, Azure or AWS, any of them is fine.
- You're curious about AI and agents. You don't need a job-history bullet point on LLMs - but daily use of Claude Code, Codex, Cursor etc. and strong opinions on when to use them (and when not to) is non-negotiable.
Nice to have
- TypeScript and Node specifically
- Kubernetes in production
- GCP (we're on GKE)
- Redis, Postgres
- React or Next.js - we have a custom dashboard, admin panel and a landing page
- Web scraping (Playwright, headless browsers, anti-bot work)
- Built something on the Anthropic or OpenAI API
- Built dev tools / custom CLIs before & know how to optimise them for DX
- Message queues (RabbitMQ, Kafka) - not needed now, but we may go there soon
What we give in return
- Up to €7,000 gross/month, depending on seniority, salary review every 6 months
- Founding engineer equity (1-3%)
- Equipment, conferences, AI-tool budget (€300/mo)
