About Gigs
At Gigs, we're building the operating system for mobile services - a platform that enables tech companies to seamlessly embed connectivity into their products.
Just as Stripe enables businesses to embed a payment button into any product, Gigs enables businesses to add a connect button and issue SIMs with a single click or API call. From fintechs launching mobile services to HRIS platforms offering work phone plans, we automate phone plan provisioning.
We're solving complex technical, operational and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly effortless. We've grown to a team of around 90 people across the US and Europe, bringing together an experienced team of early-stage engineers, product builders and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb and Shopify. We know what it takes to solve hard problems.
With almost $100MM in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google and Y Combinator, Gigs is one of the fastest growing tech companies. Building on our strong foundation, we’re looking for exceptional candidates who want to do the best work of their lives in a high-paced environment, surrounded by a highly talented, ambitious team.
You’ll be joining at an exciting inflection point in our company’s history. At sub-100 people and with a year of hyper-growth ahead of us, opportunity is abundant.
The Role
- Own complex problems end-to-end, working with our talented team to design and build robust, scalable solutions.
- Develop innovative products that empower our customers to bring world-class connectivity services to their users with ease.
- Uphold our high engineering standards, improving tooling and processes where necessary.
- Design, build and maintain best-in-class APIs and services, mostly in Ruby and Go.
- Maintain the reliability of our systems by building for observability and participating in incident response as needed.
Salary range: €85k - €120k.

What We Are Looking For
- You have experience designing APIs and building backend services. You enjoy thinking about systems, and you care about the quality of the software you produce.
- You enjoy building products from scratch. You care about finding the right solution to customer needs, and you’re comfortable taking ownership and delivering.
- You love learning technologies as you go. You always want to find the right tool for the job, and don't only follow what you already know.
- You care about more than just engineering. You need to see the business impacts of everything you do. You know how to make speed/quality trade-offs.
