What You Will Do
We are seeking a Software Engineer to join our team. This person will design and deliver scalable software solutions, drive the development of new products and features, and use AI as a core part of how they build — taking full ownership of AI-generated output and the quality of what ships. This is a role for someone who is excited about growing into product development and shaping what we build, not just how we build it.
Key Responsibilities:
Work closely with stakeholders, engineers, and domain experts to build high-impact solutions.
Drive the implementation of new products and features from concept to production.
Write clean, reusable, and efficient code — including reviewing and taking accountability for AI-assisted output.
Use AI tools actively to accelerate development, debugging, testing, and documentation; you're expected to leverage them, not avoid them.
Develop test scripts and work with automation tools and debuggers across the full stack.
Shepherd contributions through peer reviews, testing, deployment, and monitoring in production.
Design and implement APIs, backend services, and event-driven architectures.
Collaborate on the future of user experience using qualitative feedback and quantitative analytics to identify business opportunities.
Improve development workflows through CI/CD, observability, and cloud-native practices.
Contribute to product direction over time — this role is designed to grow toward product ownership for the right person.
What You Will Bring
3+ years of software development experience with strong, hands-on technical fundamentals.
Proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js.
Experience with AWS, SQL/NoSQL databases, and API development.
Comfortable working across the stack, from backend services to integrations.
Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, OAuth2, and automated testing frameworks.
A genuine enthusiasm for AI-assisted development — you use these tools, you trust them thoughtfully, and you hold yourself accountable for everything that goes out the door.
Strong problem-solving mindset with attention to quality and maintainability.
Collaborative communicator able to work effectively in an English-speaking environment.
Curiosity about the product side of the work — you're interested in what gets built, not just how.
Bonus: experience in startups or fast-growth environments.
Flexibility to travel to our headquarters in the U.S.
At least 3 days in the office, with a prime location next to the stunning Playa de Barceloneta.
Additional qualities:
Come with intellect and drive, we’ll teach you the rest.
The ability to learn quickly and continuously and maintain a flexible and adaptive mindset necessary for a fast-paced environment.
A proactive, self-driven mindset where your growth is dependent on you.
Creative problem solving; if you don't know the answer, you’ll know how to find a way to it.
Multi-tasking with the ability to handle multiple inquiries at once and prioritize them accordingly.
