Job description

We were founded by Andrés Bou and Horacio Martos, the duo behind SocialPoint (acquired by Take-Two Interactive), and we operate with the mindset of a product company: small teams, high ownership, and a relentless focus on building things that matter. We’re now looking for a Lead Backend Engineer to own one of our most technically ambitious greenfield projects - and eventually grow a team around it., We’re building something new in-house - a greenfield backend system that sits at the intersection of mobile, data, and growth infrastructure. The details are under wraps for now, but the challenge is real: you’ll design and build this from scratch, with full ownership over the architecture, the stack, and the technical decisions. You’ll start as an IC, then grow a team around what you build.

What you’ll do:

  • Architect and build a complex, high-scale backend system from the ground up - greenfield, no legacy constraints
  • Choose and own the technology stack; we’re open to the right tool for the job
  • Design reliable, low-latency data pipelines and the APIs that power the product
  • Work closely with Growth and Product teams to ensure the system delivers the right data for decision-making
  • Lay the technical foundation with future team growth in mind - your architecture decisions will shape how this team scales, 3. Technical Case - Practical exercise to assess your product, analytical, and strategic capabilities. 4. Final Interview - Final conversation to ensure alignment on expectations, culture, and role fit.

Requirements

  • You hold a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field. Strong academic foundations in distributed systems, data engineering, or backend architecture are a plus., + 7+ years of backend engineering experience, with a strong track record of building complex, high-scale systems from scratch
  • Experience working on data-intensive backend infrastructure: event pipelines, distributed systems, high-throughput APIs
  • Strong backend fundamentals - you can pick the right architecture for the problem, not just the one you know best
  • Experience working with TypeScript/Node.js is a plus, but we’re open to other languages - stack is not closed
  • Proven ability to work autonomously and make sound technical decisions without heavy oversight
  • A builder’s mindset: you’re energized by the blank-page challenge of creating something from zero

Communication

  • You communicate clearly and proactively - whether it’s aligning with the Growth team on attribution requirements, documenting architectural decisions, or flagging blockers early.
  • You’re comfortable working remotely and know how to stay connected and collaborative across an async environment., + Prior experience at a mobile-first company or ad tech company, especially in growth or data infrastructure
  • Familiarity with the mobile measurement ecosystem - knowing how these tools work helps you build better
  • Experience with fraud detection in data pipeline contexts
  • Experience hiring or mentoring engineers - you’ll be doing this soon

Benefits & conditions

  • Competitive salary, attractive and above market average
  • Remote work from anywhere in Spain. If you are based in Barcelona, we would love for you to join us at the office (Barcelona Tech City) at least two days a week.
  • The chance to build a technically complex system from zero, with full ownership
  • A lean, high-talent environment where your work has direct and visible impact
  • Work alongside founders who have built and scaled globally successful products
