With our team growing rapidly, we’re looking for a Senior Backend Developer to help us build the future—one that’s greener, smarter, and waste-free. Let’s create impact together! 🌱

What's on the menu?

As our new Senior Backend Developer, you'll be a key contributor to our engineering team, playing a vital role in building and maintaining the robust and scalable systems that power our business.

This role is about more than just writing code—it's about being an innovative problem-solver who contributes to the technical excellence of our Orbi. You'll have two key priorities: delivering high-quality software solutions while actively participating in the technical direction and growth of our engineering team.

You'll work closely with other engineers to understand and collaborate on architecture decisions, ensuring that our systems are designed for scalability, maintainability, and performance. You'll lead projects as a core individual contributor, planning and executing projects that involve multiple developers. You'll also collaborate closely with other teams, including product, design, and operations, to translate business requirements into elegant and effective technical solutions.

Beyond coding, you'll be an active participant in our engineering culture. You'll perform code reviews, providing constructive feedback to your peers and ensuring the highest standards of code quality. You'll also contribute your expertise to cross-functional initiatives, collaborating with other tech teams to solve complex challenges and drive innovation across the company.

Job requirements

The key ingredients for success:

• Prior experience in writing RFCs/PRDs/Design Documents and structurally contributing to project planning is a must. You are probably around 6+ years of relevant technical background.
• You are fluent in at least one higher level language, preferably Go or Python.
• Experience with working collaboratively in a cross-functional team, ideally in start-up/scale-up environment.
• You have a solid understanding of relational databases.
• It is an added plus if you have experience in interfacing with data pipelines.

Why join Orbisk?

There are plenty of good reasons. Some are big—like making a real impact by reducing food waste and cutting CO2 and water footprints worldwide. Others are more personal—joining a fast-growing scale-up is exciting, full of opportunities, and yes, a great story to share. Plus, you’ll be part of a team that’s driven, innovative, and just a little adventurous. And of course, we’ve got some great perks to offer too:

• €6000 - €7000 per month ex. holiday allowance (depending on knowledge and experience).
• 32-40 hour work week in a hybrid office setting, lunch included.
• To take a break to recharge, we encourage you to take 30 days of annual leave per year (based on full time).
• To ensure you are taken care of later on, we have a pension contribution of 7%.
• Everyone has different needs when it comes to benefits. That’s why we offer you an Alleo flexible spending budget of €40 per month. This includes access to various health, wellness and lifestyle providers, for example, Classpass, Hellofresh, Swapfiets and more!
• To support your learning and growth, we offer an annual personal education budget of €500. But we also organize additional team learning activities and if needed provide access to career coaches.
• An annual home office budget of €250 is offered, so you can create a nice work from home space, as well as a travel allowance for when you work from home.
• We make sure we regularly organize company activities to connect and have fun with your colleagues.
