The Role

As a Mid Backend Software Engineer, you'll independently design, build, and optimize backend systems, not just implement tickets. You'll help shape scalable architecture, keep code quality high, and act as a technical reference point for junior engineers on the team. This is a role for someone who's past needing guardrails and ready to help set them for others.

What You'll Do

- Independently design, develop, and optimize backend solutions end to end.

- Design scalable backend systems with maintainability and performance in mind.

- Contribute to the development and improvement of CI/CD pipelines.

- Develop unit tests and automate workflows to keep code quality high.

- Act as a technical reference for junior engineers — guidance, not hand-holding.

- Document backend systems so the whole team can build on them, not just you.

- Collaborate cross-functionally to improve APIs and database systems.

What We're Looking For (Must-Have)

- Professional experience with JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python, implementing real business logic autonomously.

- Solid hands-on experience with Express, FastAPI, or Fastify, and designing scalable backend services.

- Strong PostgreSQL skills, schema design,



query optimization, data integrity.

- Experience with Kafka or similar for asynchronous, service-to-service communication.

- Comfortable working across dev, staging, and production environments.

- You write clean, testable code, and you're just as comfortable reviewing someone else's.

Nice to Have

- Prior experience mentoring or supporting junior engineers.

- Exposure to cloud environments and deployment support.

- A track record of proposing system or process improvements, not just executing them.

What We Offer

- Competitive salary + monthly home office allowance.

- A Dream Team, skilled, dynamic colleagues in a genuinely adaptable environment.

- Challenging projects that directly shape our clients' success and the company's growth.

- Private health insurance.

- Free English classes + annual learning & development budget.

- Flexible hybrid model.

- Your birthday off, plus Dec 24th and 31st.

- An office in Málaga with free drinks, organic fruit, snacks, and a proper break area.

Ready to own real systems, not just tickets? We'd love to hear from you.
