We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who is more than just a coder—a deep systems thinker who understands software at a fundamental level, regardless of the stack. You should have strong experience in building distributed systems, DevOps within AWS, and JavaScript-based backend/frontend development.
⭐️ What You’ll Do
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be part of a rapidly growing company and team. You’ll get the opportunity to work closely with the other teams at Datia and impact strategy, product and sales. Some highlights of the opportunity:
- Architect, build, and maintain software solutions using AWS as the cloud infrastructure.
- Make quick, well-reasoned decisions—we are a startup, and we value speed.
- Design and develop javascript based backend solutions that are scalable and maintainable.
- Approach software as a fundamental piece of technology, not just a set of frameworks.
- Contribute to frontend development when necessary.
- Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize the platform for performance and reliability.
- Provide technical guidance and documentation while building.
📚 What We’re Looking For
This is a role with a broad set of responsibilities. You will be working closely with the founders, product team, and sales. Your day-to-day responsibilities include:
- Deep systems thinking—you understand how things work under the hood.
- 5+ years of backend development experience with modern frameworks and architectures.
- Advanced JavaScript/TypeScript skills for both backend and frontend.
- AWS expertise, including serverless, containerization, and infrastructure as code.
- SQL and database experience for scalable data management.
- DevOps & CI/CD experience to streamline deployment and operations.
- Frontend development skills—while this is a backend-heavy role, you should be comfortable contributing to the frontend.
- Autonomy & ownership—we need someone who can take initiative and execute.
- Problem-solving mindset—you thrive in ambiguity and solve complex challenges efficiently.
🎁 Why Join us?
- High ownership and impact—your work will shape our platform and technology direction.
- Fast-moving startup environment—where your ideas and decisions matter.
- Work with a passionate team that values autonomy, execution, and great engineering.
- Competitive compensation and the opportunity to grow as the company scales. 25 paid vacation days per year (PTO)
- Work Remotely (or from our Stockholm office!): Everyone at Datia is free to live and work in the places they thrive.
- Transparent Culture: We value transparency, and if you join us, you can expect a complete understanding of our company finances, strategy and future.
