We’re aiming to become Germany’s second bootstrapped unicorn. Almedia is already Europe’s #3 fastest-growing company in 2025 (FT1000). We are building the future of marketing by rewarding our community of over 80 million users for engaging with our advertisers’ products. We are offering a new way to acquire users for the biggest companies in the world. We’re looking for a Founding Engineer to work directly with leadership on high-impact, zero-to-one projects. If you love taking full ownership, moving fast, and building real products end-to-end, we want to hear from you. Founding Engineer (€90K – €150K) What You’ll Do: • Build core product features end-to-end (backend and/or mobile/web), from idea to production. • Take full ownership of projects: scope, architecture, implementation, and rollout. • Jump onto critical initiatives (SDK, network, new product bets) and unblock them fast. • Ship high-quality, testable code at high speed. • Work closely with whoever is needed to shape what we build next. • Using AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) as part of your everyday toolkit — we actively encourage AI-assisted development. What You Need: • Strong experience as a senior-level engineer in product teams. • Deep hands-on skills in backend (e.g. TypeScript/Node). • Proven zero-to-one experience (early-stage startup, founding engineer, or similar). • Track record of owning complex projects and delivering them to production. You Are: • A builder with a strong ownership mindset and high output. • Comfortable with ambiguity, fast decisions, and a high bar for quality. • Product-minded: you care about impact, not just code. • A clear communicator in English, both written and spoken. Why Almedia? • High Impact: Work on company-defining projects, not tickets in a queue. • Scale With Almedia: Join a profitable, high-growth startup early. • Great Environment: Central Berlin office, transport subsidy, breakfasts and lunches, language learning, Urban Sports Club, and more.
