## About the role

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 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 • Offers Equity)

#### 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?

- Own Our Growth: Competitive package with meaningful equity.

- 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.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.
