We’re Hiring: Backend Engineer (Founding Role)  

📍 Remote (in the EU) | 🕓 Full-time | 💻 Hackurity.io  

Hackurity.io is a Dutch cybersecurity startup scaling fast. We’re looking for a sharp Backend Engineer who thrives on building reliable systems at scale, loves TypeScript, and isn’t afraid to experiment with new frameworks.

What You’ll Be Doing (BAU):  

- Coding, maintaining, and improving our backend services (TypeScript-heavy, SST, Astro, React where needed)  

- Designing and building APIs that power our customer portal and website  

- Working with frontend engineers to ensure smooth integration and high performance  

- Continuously improving code quality, testing, and developer experience  

- Supporting Account Management with technical deep-dives when clients have questions  

Bonus points if you have experience with:  

- TypeScript frameworks at scale (Astro, React, SST, Next.js, etc.)  

- Building scalable SaaS backends in AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, RDS)  

- Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CDK)  

- Performance tuning and monitoring in production environments  

- Security-minded development (you’ll be sitting next to hackers after all 😉)  

Requirements:  

- Must live in the EU (regulatory requirements)

- Fluent English (spoken + written)  

- Comfortable working in TypeScript across different frameworks and backend layers  

What We Offer: 

- Autonomy, speed, and a low-bullshit environment 

- A role with room to shape the product and the stack

- A mostly async work environment

- A fully remote work environment

- Exposure to cutting-edge security challenges (you'll see what attackers break before anyone else does) 

About You: 

- You take ownership — whether it's a bug, a feature, or a client request 

- You can explain technical things to non-technical people without condescension 

- You want to build things that matter, not just close tickets 

Sound like your kind of build? Let's talk.
