About the role
At Bending Spoons, we build digital businesses that reach a huge number of customers and grow our teams to their full potential. We acquire businesses with untapped potential and grow them with our platform – expertise, technology, data, brand, people and culture – and by reinvesting the gains to extend the platform and acquire new businesses.
Responsibilities
* Master your toolkit. Work across diverse tech stacks, refining your ability to choose the right tools for every challenge. From monolithic to microservices architectures, gRPC to REST APIs, Kubernetes to Docker, Python to Rust, you’ll demonstrate that true expertise is about understanding purpose rather than chasing trends.
* Build stuff that matters. Enjoy full ownership from ideation to execution, building software from the ground up that scales to millions of users.
* Simplify relentlessly. Turn complexity into simplicity, whether optimizing CI/CD pipelines, writing maintainable code, or crafting minimalist architectures.
Qualifications
* Reasoning ability. Solve complex problems from first principles, structure ideas sharply, resist biases, and attend to details that matter.
* Drive. Bring ambition, initiative, effort, and tenacity; uphold a high and rising bar of responsibility for your work.
* Team spirit. Give generously, support the best idea, be reliable, honest, transparent, and willing to help the team.
* Proficiency in English. Read, write, and speak English proficiently.
What we offer
* Talented, entrepreneurial teams. Work in small, autonomous, result‑oriented teams alongside some of the brightest people in the field.
* Exceptional growth opportunities. From the start of your career you’ll be placed in the ideal position to thrive and soon play an essential role in major projects.
* Competitive pay and equity. Salary varies by location and impact – see detailed figures in the offer – and you can receive equity at a discounted price.
* Benefits. Flexible hours, remote work, continuous learning, top‑tier health insurance, rich relocation package, generous parental support, and a yearly retreat.
