Tonsser is on a mission to redefine youth sports. Hundreds of thousands of young athletes across Europe already use Tonsser to track their performance, get discovered, and feel part of something bigger than the next match. We're now starting our most ambitious chapter yet, a new project that will reshape an entire category, and we're looking for a Lead Backend Engineer to help us build it.
Job Responsibility:
Lead the architectural direction of our backend platform as we evolve from where we are today toward what's next
Drive the technical roadmap for our new flagship project
Set the standard for how the team works with AI, both in our development workflow and as a product capability
Ship production code, review PRs, and mentor the engineers around you
Partner closely with product, mobile, and design to turn ambitious ideas into things that actually work at scale
Make pragmatic calls about what to keep, what to evolve, and what to rebuild
Requirements:
Significant experience as a senior or lead backend engineer, ideally with time spent owning architecture decisions in a production environment
Deep comfort with at least one of Ruby, Python, Elixir, Go, or a similar modern backend language, and the judgement to know when language choice matters and when it doesn't
Strong opinions on API design, data modelling, and system evolution
Hands-on experience integrating AI/LLM capabilities into real products, or a strong, demonstrable interest in doing so
Experience leading or mentoring other engineers
Comfortable working remotely across European timezones
Nice to have:
Experience with consumer-scale mobile backends, GraphQL, or Kotlin Multiplatform
