Backend Engineer at Ameba

Join us in building Ameba, the AI-powered platform revolutionising supply chains If you’ve never considered working in supply chains before, everything around you, including the device you're reading this on, has a story of how it got there. From raw materials to the final product in your hands, that story is its supply chain.


We're a startup made up of experienced entrepreneurs (who have previously raised $160m+) and builders (formerly at Google, Microsoft, Snap, Amazon, Facebook & Palantir). We have big ambitions and are backed by the best investors in Europe, having raised over $9m since our launch just over a year ago.


Your Role as a Backend Engineer

As a Backend Engineer, you will collaborate closely with our CTO and engineering team to design, build, and launch products from conception to launch. This involves working primarily on the back-end (mostly written in Kotlin, ML-workloads in Python) and infrastructure (AWS, Docker). Working at a startup so early, it's common to kick off a feature on Monday, and have users use it on Friday. You should be comfortable working with these tight feedback loops and long to build a product that users love.


Life at Ameba

We pride ourselves on providing top-of-market salaries and generous equity packages to all employees. We're assembling a lean team of exceptionally talented individuals and aim to reward them accordingly.

  • We work together onsite 5 days a week to ensure everyone is set up for success within our way of working. While we offer flexibility for working from home when needed, our priority at this early stage is to build a great in-person experience.
  • Our beautiful private office in Central London, near Spitalfields, features catering services, weekly yoga and meditation classes, a bright and colourful space filled with plants, mid-century furnishings, a roof terrace, and lots of natural light.
  • We offer unlimited holidays, ensuring you take at least 28 days per year (we'll pay you back the difference if you don't). We also shut down entirely over the holiday season for 2 weeks, allowing everyone to disconnect completely.
  • We provide maternity and paternity leave at 100% salary.


Qualifications

Essential:

  • 3+ years of experience with an Object-Oriented Programming Language (Java, Scala, Kotlin, C#, C++).
  • Proven experience in building and shipping backend software, involving collaboration with other engineers, designers, product managers, and users to identify and implement solutions based on customer needs.
  • Experience working with micro-services.
  • 1+ years of experience contributing to the system design or architecture (architecture, design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems.


Desirable:

  • Undergraduate or Masters degree in Computer Science (or related fields).
  • Experience with AWS and Docker.
  • Exposure to contract-first development (OpenAPI, gRPC/Protocol Buffers).
  • Ability to design scalable and efficient system architectures.
  • Ability to navigate rapidly changing priorities in a growing startup environment.
  • Interest in AI, and familiarity with building LLM-based agents.
  • [Optional] Previous experience working at a startup or a keen interest in startups.
