Founding Full-Stack Engineer (Senior / Lead)
This position has been filled. Applications closed on . Thank you for your interest.
Limassol · Hybrid · Full-time · €65,000–95,000 gross/year · Work permit sponsorship and transfer
Alesium is a Limassol-based startup lab, incorporated in 2020. We’re building a fintech project. A bug here costs real money.
How we work
We work in Shape Up–style cycles. You get a well-shaped problem, work on it on your own for one or two weeks, then show a working result. No daily stand-ups and no Jira: progress is visible in the code and in the AI agents’ work.
You’ll work directly with the founders in a small team. As we grow, you’ll help hire and lead the engineering team.
Stack
TypeScript end to end: Node (NestJS, Fastify), React, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker. Rust experience is a plus: we may write performance-critical parts in Rust later.
You’ll fit if you
- Build with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) every day: you direct them, review their code and own the result.
- Think like a researcher: you test ideas quickly with small experiments and stay open about the solution.
- Change course easily: a working version today beats a perfect design next month, and you calmly drop a plan when a better one appears.
- Want to own what you build: design it, ship it and run it in production.
- Know TypeScript well on both backend and frontend, and understand what happens under the hood.
- Have shipped systems where a bug costs real money: fintech, payments, banking, e-commerce or another high-load product.
What we offer
- €65,000–95,000 gross per year. We agree on your level together after the working session. We never ask about your current or past salary.
- Health insurance, work permit and legal support. If your permit is tied to your employer, we’ll help with the transfer: we cover the fees and paperwork and time the switch around your notice period.
- Hybrid in Limassol, 2–3 days a week in the office. You need to live in Cyprus or be ready to move here.
- The AI tools and hardware you need, paid by us.
Languages
Our working language is English. Russian and Ukrainian are welcome.
