Scalable is 137 people across Madrid, Berlin, Zürich and remote. We're profitable, growing slowly on purpose, and obsessed with one thing: making the boring parts of production infrastructure so good you forget they're there. If that sounds like a relief, keep reading.
Own the 18-region control plane. You'll be the third senior SRE — we want a third on-call rotation, not a hero.
You read the "47s build" post and thought "I could make it 22." We want you to try.
Help us get OQL queries under 100ms p95 across 30 days of trace data. ClickHouse-shaped problem.
Postgres internals, replication, PITR. We need someone who's run a fleet, not someone who's read about running one.
Help us run our own network across 18 regions. Anycast, BGP, peering, the lot. You've operated AS in anger.
Take the existing model (Rust, ~200 lines) to GA across all paid tiers. Plus the next two scaling signals we want to ship.
The dashboard handles orgs with 500+ services. Make it feel like 5. React, TypeScript, virtualized lists, a lot of opinion about details.
Run the Postgres fleet. Not write code — run the fleet, build the runbooks, train others. Boring on purpose.
One designer today (Lia). We want a partner. Heavy on systems, type, and the unglamorous bits like CLI output.
First AE for German-speaking markets. Inbound is steady; you'll build outbound from scratch with engineering as your co-pilot.
Hold the technical side of regulated EU deals — finance, health, public sector. Bridge between sales and platform.
First-line response for EU-pinned customers. Real engineer, not a script reader — you'll write fixes, not just route them.
Help Anna ship our SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits this year. Half ops, half automation — write evidence collectors, don't copy-paste them.
Own scalable-cli and the official SDKs (Go, Python, Node, Rust). Releases ship public, get used in anger, get judged hard.
No ping-pong, no "family." Just the things we wish job posts told us before we joined.
Two releases a week. After 17:00 CET nothing ships, nothing pages (unless prod is down — but it usually isn't, see compliance page).
We've raised a seed and a Series A, and that's likely it. Revenue covers operations and growth. We hire based on need, not headcount targets.
Every role here lists the band. We pay the same band whether you're in Berlin, Lisbon, or remote in Manchester. Levelling is committee-reviewed twice a year.
One in five weeks. €600/week stipend on top of comp. Engineering management is in the rotation too. Pages are rare and we take it personally when they happen.
Options vest 4 years, 1-year cliff. You get 10 years to exercise from leave date, not 90 days. We'll explain the strike price math on the offer call.
You can live anywhere EU. Two on-sites a year (we cover travel + hotel). The Madrid office has the best food; the Berlin office has the best coffee. Both are open if you want them.
Per role, per level. Same band whether you're in DE, ES, or remote-EU.
10-year exercise window. We do the math on the call.
Full coverage, partner + kids included. €100/mo wellness budget.
Plus public holidays. Two-week minimum we actually enforce.
Refreshed every 3 years. Chairs, desks, monitors, headphones.
Travel + hotel + dinner covered. Held in Madrid or Berlin.
Books, courses, conferences. No approval form, just expense it.
On top of base, paid the week you're up. EM included.
No take-home gauntlets. No 8-round panels. No "culture fit" trick questions. We give you a real problem we're actually facing, you tell us how you'd approach it, we hire if it clicks.
A hiring-manager call. Mutual fit, role context, comp ranges, your questions. We tell you the band up front.
~3 days from applyTwo peers on the team. We talk about something you've built — your call. Bring receipts: a PR, a doc, a system.
+ 1 weekYou and one of us, working on a real problem. Whiteboard, IDE, or terminal — your pick. No tricks.
+ 3 daysWe talk to two of your past colleagues. You talk to two of ours. Symmetric — back-channelling without their knowledge is a no.
+ 4 daysOffer with full breakdown, equity math, and a 10-business-day decision window. We don't exploding-offer.
total: ~14 daysPlus 28 fully-remote teammates across 11 EU countries. Two on-sites a year, hosted in Madrid or Berlin.
"I came from a Big Tech place where 'on-call' meant insomnia. Here it's a stipend, a real rotation, and engineers who actually care if the pager rings."
