Software Engineer Backend

Spott is a YC-backed AI startup with its office in Leuven, Belgium. We are on a mission to transform the recruitment industry, by making recruiting faster, smarter and more efficient. Together, we’re building the first AI-native recruitment platform (ATS & CRM) that empowers professional recruiters to close significantly more placements.

Why?

Recruitment is an $700B+ industry still running on outdated methods. The biggest players are slow to innovate. Spott isn’t a tool that will be added to legacy software, it is a full reset. We are the system of record. AI-driven, fast, scalable, and personal. And we’re here to take over.

What We’re Looking For

To help us achieve our mission we’re looking for a Software engineer, especially Backend. We are product-obsessed. Everything we create needs to be better than any existing version of it on the market - and you will play a pivotal role in ensuring that standard is upheld.

✔️ You have a Master’s degree in IT/Computer Science/Software Engineering and at least 2 years of experience in backend development.

✔️ Passion for solving complex technical challenges and designing scalable software solutions. You understand technical tradeoffs and make pragmatic decisions.

✔️ Experience building AI-driven applications (e.g. prompt engineering and/or fine-tuning experience are a plus).

✔️ A growth mindset - eager to learn, experiment, and expand your knowledge.

What You’ll Do

✔️ You'll be focused on back-end development of our recruitment platform, working mainly with Typescript and Node.js.

✔️ You’ll work on core product features and Backend code improvements, ensuring all systems can support the growth of our customer base.

✔️ Take part in product refinement, brainstorming, prioritization sessions and impact both WHAT and HOW we build.

✔️ Work in a supportive, open, and fast-moving environment where you can learn and grow quickly.

What We Offer

✔️ Competitive salary and generous stock options.

✔️ An exciting opportunity to work with the latest technologies and AI models on challenging problems, from a technical and business logic perspective.

✔️ A role with a lot of responsibility, ownership, and tangible impact, within a highly ambitious team.

✔️ A flexible work environment that accommodates your needs with flexible hours and hybrid working - we aim for at least 3 days per week in the office.

✔️ Great team vibe with regular dinners, sports activities and international offsites.

✔️ The chance to grow with us and achieve your career aspirations.
