Founding Engineer (Backend)
Software Engineering
About Tequipy
IT chaos is a systems problem. We're fixing it with AI. Tequipy builds an AI-first IT operations platform that manages the full lifecycle of company equipment and software — from onboarding to offboarding, from compliance to cost optimization — without spreadsheets, tickets, or manual babysitting.
We're a small, senior team founded by Revolut alumni, building an AI IT agent that reasons, acts, and automates across identity, devices, SaaS, and security. Our ambition is unapologetically big: to redefine how modern companies run IT and build a $100M+ company along the way.
If you enjoy:
- Building the UI layer of autonomous systems, not just dashboards
- Turning complex, real-world workflows into fast, reliable interfaces
- Shipping end-to-end with real ownership and leverage
You'll feel at home here.
Join us early. Help define the product, the architecture, and the future of AI-driven IT.
About the role
We're looking for an experienced back-end engineer to own the web application layer at Tequipy. This is a high-impact role with real ownership: you'll shape how our product is built, how it performs, and how it evolves as we scale. You'll work directly with other teams to ship a product that handles real enterprise complexity — with the speed and clarity that only a small, senior team can maintain.
AI tooling is a core part of how we work. We expect you to have it embedded in your workflow — not as a curiosity, but as a force multiplier.
What you'll do
Backend platform engineering
- Build and maintain new features and components for our backend platform
- Own and drive evolution of the backend platform, leading architectural and technical changes across core systems
- Collaborate closely with product designers and fellow backend engineers to turn real-world IT workflows into scalable, well-designed systems
- Build and evolve a globally distributed system for asset management, device delivery, HRIS integrations, and an autonomous IT admin agent
- Design and implement backend architecture, with a focus on reliability, extensibility, and long-term scalability
- Deliver new backend capabilities end-to-end, from concept and design through implementation and production rollouts
AI-assisted development
- Leverage AI coding tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or equivalent) as a core part of your engineering workflow
- Evaluate and introduce new AI tooling that speeds up front-end delivery without sacrificing quality
- Help establish team norms around AI-assisted development — what to automate, what to review, what to own
What we're looking for
- 5+ years experience on a similar position
- Preferably experience in small companies
- Extensive experience with one of languages - Java, Kotlin or Python
- Strong practical experience with Claude Code or any alternative—we generate a lot of code!
- Strong testing culture — engineers are responsible for testing the code they write
What we offer
- Compensation: 18,000 – 25,000 PLN net + VAT per month on a B2B contract
- 100% remote — work from wherever suits you
- Flexible working hours
- Paid time off (negotiated as part of the B2B agreement)
- Real impact on the product from day one — no ticket queues, no committee approvals
- Learning & development budget — courses, conferences, tools
- Modern stack and a culture without micromanagement
- A small, senior team with founders who've built and scaled before
