This isn’t your regular job. Almedia is a place where those who want to push harder can accelerate their careers faster than anywhere else. 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 70 million users for engaging with our advertisers’ products. We are offering a new way to acquire users for the biggest companies in the world.

### BACKEND ENGINEER

(€80K – €140K • Offers Equity)

- Create a data-driven product by integrating external services for A/B testing and feature flagging.

- Deliver high-quality testable code at a high pace, making sure everything runs smoothly.

- Using AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) as part of your everyday toolkit — we actively encourage AI-assisted development.

### What You’ll Bring 💡

- Hands-on production experience with Node.js

- Strong experience in web development.

- A good understanding of scalable systems.

- Central Berlin Office: Work from a fully-stocked modern office built for collaboration, accessible from all around Berlin.

- Other Benefits: Transport subsidy, breakfasts and lunches, language learning, Urban Sports Club, and more.

We believe in fostering talent, evaluating all skill levels during the hiring process, and providing a clear path for growth. Almedia is an equal opportunity employer. We embrace and celebrate diversity, and encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply.

**Live in Almedia’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
