Almedia
Germany · Full-time · Not Applicable

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.

We’re looking for a Backend Engineer to co-own and scale our Client Platform - the internal system powering offer, game, and budget management across our ad network products.

If you like owning backend systems end-to-end, shipping fast, and improving infrastructure while building real product features, let’s talk.

Tech Stack 💻

  • Python, FastAPI (Pydantic), Node.js, Typescript
  • MongoDB, BigQuery
  • Docker, GitHub Actions
  • Next.js / React / TypeScript (you'll touch frontend but backend is the focus)
  • Google Cloud Platform

What You’ll Do 🎯

  • Own and extend our FastAPI backend (routers, services, data layer).
  • Build end-to-end features from MongoDB/PostgreSQL through API to our Next.js frontend.
  • Maintain strict backend–frontend contracts using Pydantic (auto-generated TypeScript types).
  • Build and optimize our Database layer/access (queries, caching with Memcached/Redis, DBT/Dataform).
  • Integrate third-party platforms (HubSpot, Slack) & different internal services via API
  • Improve CI/CD (GitHub Actions), Docker-based deployments (Hetzner / PM2), staging environment, build/expand our testing suite, and own observability.

What You’ll Bring 💡

  • Strong Python experience (FastAPI or similar async frameworks).
  • Solid API design and data modeling skills.
  • Hands-on experience with MongoDB and/or PostgreSQL (or comparable).
  • Experience with BigQuery or similar analytics systems.
  • Comfortable owning features from idea to production.
  • Experience with Next.js / React / TypeScript is a big plus.

What Makes You a Great Fit 🌟

  • Ownership-driven and pragmatic.
  • Product-minded with a strong quality bar.
  • Comfortable in a fast-moving environment.
  • Clear communicator in English.
