Job description

This isn’t your regular job. Almedia is a place where those who want to push harder can accelerate their careers faster than anywhere else. We’re aiming to become Germany’s second bootstrapped unicorn. Almedia is already Europe’s #3 fastest-growing company in 2025 (FT1000).

We are building the future of marketing by rewarding our community of over 70 million users for engaging with our advertisers’ products. We are offering a new way to acquire users for the biggest companies in the world.

We’re looking for a Staff Engineer to work directly with leadership on high-impact, zero-to-one projects. If you love taking full ownership, moving fast, and building real products end-to-end, we want to hear from you.

 

Staff Engineer

(€135K – €190K • Offers Equity)

 

What You’ll Do:

  • Build core product features end-to-end (backend and/or frontend/mobile/web), from idea to production.

  • Define technical architecture and make system-level decisions that other engineers build on.

  • Take full ownership of projects: scope, architecture, implementation, and rollout.

  • Jump onto critical initiatives (SDK, network, new product bets) and unblock them fast.

  • Ship high-quality, testable code at high speed.

  • Work closely with whoever is needed to shape what we build next.

  • Using AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) as part of your everyday toolkit — we actively encourage AI-assisted development.

 

What You Need:

  • Strong experience as a senior / staff-level engineer in product teams.

  • Strong backend foundation (e.g. TypeScript/Node); full-stack, mobile, or frontend experience a strong plus.

  • Proven zero-to-one experience (early-stage startup, founding engineer, or similar).

  • Track record of owning complex projects and delivering them to production.

 

You Are:

  • A builder with a strong ownership mindset and high output.

  • Comfortable with ambiguity, fast decisions, and a high bar for quality.

  • Product-minded: you care about impact, not just code.

  • A clear, direct communicator in English who can align stakeholders and elevate the engineers around you.

 

Why Almedia?

  • Own Our Growth: Competitive package with meaningful equity.

  • High Impact: Work on company-defining projects, not tickets in a queue.

  • Scale With Almedia: Join a profitable, high-growth startup early.

  • Great Environment: Central Berlin office, transport subsidy, breakfasts and lunches, language learning, Urban Sports Club, and more.

 

We believe in fostering talent, evaluating all skill levels during the hiring process, and providing a clear path for growth. Almedia is an equal opportunity employer. We embrace and celebrate diversity, and encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply.
