They are looking for a highly experienced Senior Software Engineer (Platform & Backend) to join their fully remote team. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, taking ownership of architecture, and leading technical initiatives across the entire stack.

- Design, build and maintain scalable software across backend, frontend and infrastructure.
- Lead technical projects from design through production.
- Make architectural decisions and drive technical direction.
- Build and operate production systems with a strong focus on reliability, scalability and performance.
- Review code and promote engineering best practices.
- Troubleshoot production issues and improve platform resilience.
- Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to deliver high-impact features.
Requirements
- Extensive experience building and scaling SaaS products.
- Strong expertise in TypeScript, with solid experience across backend, frontend and cloud infrastructure.
- Strong backend engineering experience.
- Experience operating and maintaining production infrastructure in cloud environments.
- Proven experience designing software architecture and leading technical projects.
- Previous experience as a Tech Lead, Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer or Senior Software Engineer with architectural ownership.
- Comfortable working across the full stack and taking ownership from infrastructure through backend to frontend.
- Experience with AWS, Pulumi, Bun, React, Vite, GraphQL, PostgreSQL and Redis is a plus.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced startup environment.
Benefits
- Fully remote, based in Portugal.
- Salary range: 50k – 80k per year
