You’re looking for more than just another backend role - you want to work on meaningful projects, and have a say in technical decisions. You want to join a company at the right stage of its growth: one whose software reaches millions, yet still lets your individual impact shine and be rewarded.
At bsport, that’s exactly what you’ll get.
You’ll join one of our product verticals and take the lead on backend initiatives that affect >10M users across 30+ countries. You’ll design and build multi-component systems, shape architecture decisions, and be trusted to own your work from start to finish.
Our stack includes Python, Django/FastAPI, React, AWS, and Kubernetes. But we care more about engineering fundamentals than specific tech. If you’ve built solid backends in any OO language, you’ll fit right in.
Some examples of challenges we’re working on now, which you could tackle:
- Moving to a modular monolith so each team can ship faster, with full module ownership
- Implementing multi-geo PostgreSQL sharding
- Scaling a platform handling ~$1M in daily transactions
- Balancing reliability, performance, and business agility as we grow fast
We recently raised €30M (Series B) and aim to triple our valuation in 2 years. Your equity package is set up to benefit from that growth. The engineering team is doubling this year, and great engineers who join now will have room to develop into leadership or staff roles as our teams grow, too.
You might be a great fit if:
- You’ve built and maintained backend systems in SaaS or product companies, taking full ownership of the features and services you delivered.
- You’re comfortable navigating complexity, and enjoy breaking down hard problems into simple, scalable solutions.
- You’re fluent in English and a clear communicator in a collaborative, international team.
- You know Django/FastAPI or are eager to ramp up quickly.
What you’ll get:
You’ll receive a salary of €62,000 - €72,000 + equity, a hybrid setup, work-from-anywhere weeks, full health insurance with Alan, and fitness perks like discounted DiR gym & Yoga One memberships. We also offer relocation packages!
