CAREERS · 14 open roles · 4 cities, fully remote

Build the platform
you wish existed at your last job.

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.

Staff Site Reliability Engineer URGENT

Own the 18-region control plane. You'll be the third senior SRE — we want a third on-call rotation, not a hero.

Engineering · Build platform

Senior Engineer · Build cache

You read the "47s build" post and thought "I could make it 22." We want you to try.

Madrid / Remote EUfull-time
€120–155k+ equity
Engineering · Observability

Senior Engineer · Query engine

Help us get OQL queries under 100ms p95 across 30 days of trace data. ClickHouse-shaped problem.

Berlin / Remote EUfull-time
€120–155k+ equity
Engineering · Postgres

Engineer · Managed databases

Postgres internals, replication, PITR. We need someone who's run a fleet, not someone who's read about running one.

Madrid / Berlinfull-time
€105–135k+ equity
Engineering · Edge networking

Senior Engineer · BGP & Anycast

Help us run our own network across 18 regions. Anycast, BGP, peering, the lot. You've operated AS in anger.

Remote EUfull-time
€130–165k+ equity
Engineering · ML infra

Engineer · Predictive autoscale

Take the existing model (Rust, ~200 lines) to GA across all paid tiers. Plus the next two scaling signals we want to ship.

Berlin / Remote EUfull-time
€110–140k+ equity
Engineering · Web

Senior Frontend Engineer · Dashboard

The dashboard handles orgs with 500+ services. Make it feel like 5. React, TypeScript, virtualized lists, a lot of opinion about details.

Zürich / Madrid / Remote EU
€110–140k+ equity
Platform · DBA

Senior DBA · fleet operations

Run the Postgres fleet. Not write code — run the fleet, build the runbooks, train others. Boring on purpose.

Remote EUfull-time
€115–145k+ equity
Design · Product

Founding Product Designer

One designer today (Lia). We want a partner. Heavy on systems, type, and the unglamorous bits like CLI output.

Madrid / Berlinfull-time
€105–135k+ equity
Sales · Founding AE

Founding Account Executive · DACH

First AE for German-speaking markets. Inbound is steady; you'll build outbound from scratch with engineering as your co-pilot.

Sales · SE

Solutions Engineer · regulated

Hold the technical side of regulated EU deals — finance, health, public sector. Bridge between sales and platform.

Berlin / Madridfull-time
€115–145k+ commission
Support · Engineering

Support Engineer · EU on-call

First-line response for EU-pinned customers. Real engineer, not a script reader — you'll write fixes, not just route them.

Remote EUfull-time
€75–95k+ equity
Ops · Compliance

Compliance & Trust Engineer

Help Anna ship our SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits this year. Half ops, half automation — write evidence collectors, don't copy-paste them.

Madrid / Remote EU
€90–115k+ equity
Engineering · Open source

Engineer · CLI & SDKs

Own scalable-cli and the official SDKs (Go, Python, Node, Rust). Releases ship public, get used in anger, get judged hard.

01Why this place

Six honest things
about working here.

No ping-pong, no "family." Just the things we wish job posts told us before we joined.

01 · Cadence

We ship Tue & Thu. Then we stop.

Two releases a week. After 17:00 CET nothing ships, nothing pages (unless prod is down — but it usually isn't, see compliance page).

Not: "move fast" all the time
02 · Profitable

Funded by customers, not rounds.

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.

Not: blitzscale or bust
03 · Comp

Bands published, negotiated rarely.

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.

Not: "depends on experience"
04 · On-call

Real on-call, paid on-call.

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.

Not: "voluntary heroics"
05 · Equity

Real percentages, 10-year exercise.

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.

Not: "competitive" with no number
06 · Remote

Three offices, truly remote.

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.

Not: "hybrid" with 3-day minimums
02The benefits

The line items, without the hype.

Salary bands published

Per role, per level. Same band whether you're in DE, ES, or remote-EU.

0.05 – 0.40% equity

10-year exercise window. We do the math on the call.

+
Private health

Full coverage, partner + kids included. €100/mo wellness budget.

30 days PTO

Plus public holidays. Two-week minimum we actually enforce.

€2k home office

Refreshed every 3 years. Chairs, desks, monitors, headphones.

2× on-sites / year

Travel + hotel + dinner covered. Held in Madrid or Berlin.

€1.5k learning

Books, courses, conferences. No approval form, just expense it.

📞
€600/wk on-call

On top of base, paid the week you're up. EM included.

03How we hire

Four conversations.
Two weeks. Decision.

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.

01 · Intro
30 min · chat

A hiring-manager call. Mutual fit, role context, comp ranges, your questions. We tell you the band up front.

~3 days from apply
02 · Deep dive
60 min · craft

Two peers on the team. We talk about something you've built — your call. Bring receipts: a PR, a doc, a system.

+ 1 week
03 · Pair
90 min · together

You and one of us, working on a real problem. Whiteboard, IDE, or terminal — your pick. No tricks.

+ 3 days
04 · References
2× 20 min · candor

We talk to two of your past colleagues. You talk to two of ours. Symmetric — back-channelling without their knowledge is a no.

+ 4 days
05 · Offer
Within 48h

Offer with full breakdown, equity math, and a 10-business-day decision window. We don't exploding-offer.

total: ~14 days

"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."
