We are building a travel safety platform for individual travelers. The core of the system is a secure and scalable backend that aggregates data from multiple external sources and turns it into relevant, actionable information.
You will play a key role in designing and building the technical foundation of the platform.
You will be responsible for:
Designing the backend architecture from the ground up
Building and maintaining API integrations with external data providers
Developing robust ingestion pipelines (APIs and, where necessary, structured scraping)
Designing a normalized data model for incident and contextual information
Ensuring security, reliability, and scalability from the start
Implementing monitoring, logging, and failure handling
Contributing to technical decisions around infrastructure and deployment
This is a hands-on role with significant ownership. You will work directly with the founder and have influence over architectural direction.
Has 5+ years of backend development experience
Is comfortable designing production-grade systems
Has experience integrating third-party APIs (OAuth, rate limits, retries, idempotency)
Understands data modeling and relational databases (PostgreSQL)
Has worked with background processing, queues, and scheduled jobs
Thinks about security by default (authentication, secrets management, logging hygiene)
Can balance pragmatism with long-term scalability
Is comfortable in an early-stage environment
Experience with scraping, geodata, alert systems, or travel-related platforms is a plus, but not required.
The opportunity to shape the core architecture of a data-driven platform from the beginning
A technically meaningful challenge at the intersection of data, safety, and global mobility
A serious, long-term vision with potential societal impact
The possibility of equity participation as part of the founding team, subject to funding and mutual agreement
We are looking for someone motivated by building solid systems that solve real-world problems in a structured and thoughtful way
This job comes with several perks and benefits
