Location: Amsterdam (NL), Skopje (North Macedonia) | Remote Possible | Full Time | Visa Sponsorship
We power real-time Chat, Video, Activity Feeds, and AI Moderation for apps like Strava, Bumble, eBay, and Patreon - billions of API requests per month, millions of concurrent users.
About the Role
We're looking for a hands-on Lead Engineer (Staff / Principal level) to own Platform & Infrastructure.
Reports directly to the CTO.
Small, senior team - you'll write code most of the time, not run a process org.
First 6 months focus on three things with measurable outcomes:
- Cloud cost optimization (AWS/GCP) — tooling and guardrails, not reports
- Platform reliability and scalability — SLOs, observability, hardening
- Architecture decisions on Kubernetes, databases, and cloud provider strategy
Stack
Go, Python, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, Redis, Terraform.
Requirements
Looking for:
- Software engineering background (Go or Python, not scripting-only)
- Production cloud cost optimization experience
- Real distributed systems depth
- Active AI tooling use in your engineering workflow
Not a Fit If
- You're security/compliance-heavy
- Scripting-only
- Dependent on large-org support structures
