Lead Full-Stack Engineer

MeetMinded is a fast growing startup based in Slovenia, that help turn strangers into friends. Thousands of people attend our local meetups every week - in major cities across the US, UK, Canada and beyond.

We’re looking for someone who’s not just looking for a job, but wants to be part of a story that pushes what’s possible.

If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t just get things done, but does them better than most — keep reading.

You'll be our lead full-stack engineer. That means owning the product end-to-end: what gets built, how it's architected, what gets cut. You'll work alongside other engineers, but this is your engine to run.

We're an AI-first team. We expect you to use AI coding tools natively - not occasionally, not experimentally. If you've found that Cursor or Claude Code has genuinely changed how fast you ship, you'll fit right in.

We're headquartered in Ljubljana city centre and the team works on-site. Our team is international and English is our first office language.

We trust good instincts and use data to pressure-test our thinking, not replace it. We hold ourselves to a high bar because we genuinely believe we're building something that can be the best in its space.

And we're just getting started!
