Who we are:

At Ocean.io, we’re changing the game for B2B customer acquisition. Our platform helps companies drive growth through smarter inbound and outbound strategies, powered by AI and massive datasets. We’re a fast-moving tech scale-up with a growing team of specialists and a culture built on trust, autonomy, and a healthy dose of curiosity. We believe in giving people ownership and room to innovate - and we think work should be fun, too.

As a Backend Developer, here at Ocean, you will…

• Backend Development: Design and implement robust, maintainable services using Python, Node.js, or Rust. Build APIs and tools that power our product and internal systems.

• Data Engineering & System Design: Help us scale and improve our large, diverse dataset by working on the full lifecycle - from crawling and ingesting data to processing, storing, and querying it efficiently.

• Product Collaboration: Work closely with our product team & the two other development teams (backend & frontend) to translate ideas into reality. You’ll be involved end-to-end - from technical design and implementation to evaluating performance and suggesting improvements.

• Innovation & Autonomy: We give you the freedom to experiment. Whether you’re optimizing an existing pipeline or proposing a new UX for our platform, we’ll support your initiatives.

• Team Collaboration: Join a supportive, international team where knowledge sharing and mutual growth are the norm. You’ll have space to work independently, but never alone.
