About this role

Looking for someone to join as one of the early members of the Backend team at amo. In the initial months you will work closely with the team while gradually taking ownership of central components and features in a versatile early-stage environment.

The backend team handles both server-side systems and the shared backbone of the client, covering networking, data modelling, management and synchronisation. You will develop systems built for massive traffic, data volumes and horizontal scaling using carefully chosen technologies.

Day-to-day work includes maintaining a Rust component shared between iOS and Android that manages networking, data synchronisation and data-oriented feature logic. You will collaborate with mobile engineers to keep a unified codebase and bridge mobile development with backend infrastructure.

The role involves participating in feature brainstorming, monitoring analytics, managing system crashes and triaging bug fixes while contributing to a culture of continuous improvement and domain expertise in an onsite Paris office.

Requirements

Production experience with Rust, or strong background in systems-level languages such as C++, C or OCaml
