Remote Backend Jobs

We are a Social Media Software as a Service (SaaS) scale-up. SocialHub has established itself as a remote-first company and earned the title of OMR Market Leader in 2025. Our 75-person team consists of creative individuals from 17 different countries. While each of us works at our own pace, we all share the same philosophy: "We believe that work should be fun."

So far, we have engineered a smart software used daily by major Social Media Teams in Germany and Europe. If you are looking for a job in an established (but still growing) SaaS company and you love to build software that’s both fun and easy to use, this could be it!
