Tech Lead Backend Engineer

About us

Today, the mid-market segment (300 to 5k employee companies) is vastly underserved when it comes to their procurement processes. These companies struggle with outdated and old fashioned tools, dragged down by decades of tech legacy that create more problems than they solve in the day-to-day work of their employees.

Pivot is committed to solving this by building a smart, engaging and user-friendly procurement tool for employees, streamlining purchase processes while providing the right level of control and reporting. We are creating automations and integrations that simplify the work across all finance teams, freeing them up to be more strategic... and surely happier too!

The adventure started mid-2023 with three founders, former C-levels from fintech unicorns (Qonto and Swile) and highly experienced engineer from top-notch tech companies.

Since then we’ve raised €5M in pre-seed and €20M in Series A with tier-1 investors and built a team of 40 with a product operating with customers across 7 countries.

We are looking for smart, execution-driven people to join our team, with a strong focus on excellence and a desire to achieve great things as a team.

Your role:

Be one of our early engineers, and help building the whole product and the underlying tech, hand-in-hand with the rest of the team and the CTO.

• Help with the architecture decisions to ensure we build a robust and scalable product while maintaining a great pace of delivery.

• Lead an engineering squad of 5.

• Help build and scale the product, the team, and the underlying tech while ensuring good practices!

• Contribute to the team continuous improvement with new ideas, processes and tools.

• Build a robust and scalable micro-service architecture to handle requests, invoices and payments, and create smart automations and integrations to other tools.

• Conceive and implement complex features like a dynamic form builder, workflows engine, budget, and analytics.

• Leverage AI to boost our users productivity.
