Role Overview

At Fresha, we believe AI is a force multiplier for feature delivery, not just a coding assistant. We provide every engineer with top-tier tooling (Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to strip away technical toil—so you can focus your energy on shipping high-impact product features. We value engineers who know how to leverage these tools to drive momentum within our 6-week cycles, accelerating the journey from concept to code while maintaining the deep technical judgment to verify, secure, and own the final user experience.

Given our exciting and progressive growth plans, we are looking for an exceptional Senior Backend Engineer to come join our global business.

Reporting directly to the Team Lead, and working collaboratively in a cross-functional product team within a tribe, you will be accountable for designing and developing applications and coordinating with the rest of the team working on different layers of the infrastructure Fresha.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to work in a fast-paced and changing environment, who likes to work autonomously, enjoys a challenge and wants to make an impact!

To foster a collaborative environment that thrives on face-to-face interactions and teamwork, you will need to travel for one week once a quarter to our quarterly team events (in London/Warsaw/Prishtina).

* Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Frontend, Infrastructure, and Mobile engineers to take features from discovery to rollout and beyond.

* Be responsible for features from discovery to observability: technical design, implementation, testing, and rollout.

* Design, build, and maintain efficient, scalable, and reliable Ruby/Elixir code.

* Work with a polyglot stack (Ruby, Elixir, GraphQL, TypeScript, gRPC) and modern messaging systems (Kafka).

* Operate within a Kubernetes-driven environment as we continue moving to a microservice architecture.

* Embrace Domain-Driven Design to build high-quality, impactful products from inception to delivery.

AI-Augmented Workflow: You have deep experience building and interacting with AI agents, using them to amplify your output to 5x that of manual coding. You are able to integrate agents into our workflow while strictly adhering to our architecture and security standards, taking full accountability for ensuring all generated code meets the quality expectations of a Senior Engineer.

Experience building and maintaining globally distributed systems.

Knowledge of event-driven architectures (Kafka).

~2+ years of experience in product engineering, developer tools, or infrastructure at scale.

A pragmatic generalist who thrives on learning new frameworks and tackling complex challenges.

Familiarity with languages such as Elixir, Ruby, or TypeScript is a plus.

Real Impact: Directly influence our product and architecture in a rapidly growing global business.

Cutting-Edge Tech: Work with modern technologies and contribute to a significant migration to microservices.

Dynamic Culture: Be part of a team that encourages autonomy and innovation.
