Remote Backend Jobs

As a Staff Software Developer on our Services team, you will immerse yourself in our ambitious mission and take on a wide range of responsibilities to drive customer impact. Specifically, you will:

Responsibilities

• Build innovative features & services: Design, code, and launch new backend features that help our restaurant partners operate more efficiently and deliver exceptional, seamless experiences to their customers. Your work will directly enhance real-world interactions between shops and pizza lovers every day.
• Identify game-changing opportunities: Constantly look for asymmetric opportunities where a small technical change can deliver disproportionate value. You'll use your creativity and entrepreneurial mindset to find 10x solutions that delight users and give our partners an edge.
• Own projects end-to-end: Take ownership of initiatives from concept through production. You'll work closely with product, design, and other teams to define solutions, execute rapidly, and iterate based on feedback. When you see a problem, you don't wait - you tackle it.
• Use the best tools for the job: While our primary stack is Python (Flask), we embrace any technology that delivers value. You might rewrite a microservice from Go to Python, craft a script in Ruby, or leverage a new cloud service - whatever it takes to solve the task at hand in a scalable way.
• Collaborate in a small, agile team: Work alongside a tight-knit team of 5 to 8 backend engineers (across the US, UK, and Europe) who are as passionate about the mission as you are. Together, you will review code, brainstorm ideas, and push each other to raise the bar while maintaining a fun, supportive atmosphere.
• Ensure quality and performance at scale: Employ best practices in coding, testing, monitoring, and DevOps to ensure our services are reliable and performant. You build it, you own it - from writing unit tests to fine-tuning logging and alerting, you'll make sure your code runs smoothly in production.

Requirements

• Owner's mindset: You think like a founder. You take initiative, own problems end-to-end, and move with urgency to deliver results. Obstacles energize you, and you thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment where your decisions drive real impact.
• Proven builder: You have solid experience crafting scalable backend systems in Python (Flask) and working with databases and cloud services. You're comfortable diving into monitoring and logging tools to keep systems healthy. More importantly, you're technology-agnostic - you quickly pick up new languages or frameworks (Go, Ruby, or whatever is needed) to solve problems effectively.
• Remote-ready collaborator: You excel at working on a distributed team and communicating asynchronously. You're comfortable collaborating with teammates across different time zones and backgrounds, and you know how to stay connected and communicative in a remote work setting.
• Product & customer focus: You care deeply about the why behind your code. You can clearly express opinions on product direction and design, always keeping the end-customer and restaurant owner in mind. At the same time, you respect others' perspectives and believe the best ideas can come from anywhere.
• Innovative problem solver: You love finding creative solutions to hard problems. Words like "impossible" or "uncharted" fuel your curiosity. You seek out those asymmetric win scenarios and aren't afraid to experiment, adapt, and iterate to achieve a better outcome for users.
