Full-Stack Software Engineer at Ameba

Engineering at Ameba is a rare opportunity to build cutting-edge software in a traditional industry, while being generously rewarded for your contributions. If you’ve never considered working in supply chains before, everything around you, including the device you're reading this on, has a story of how it got there. Raw material to finished product, that story is the supply chain. If the unseen machinery of the world sparks something in you, we'd love to talk!

We're a startup made up of experienced entrepreneurs (who have previously raised $160m+) and builders (ex-Meta, Palantir, Microsoft, Quant Devs, UnlikelyAI). We have big ambitions and are backed by some of the most successful investors in Europe. We’ve raised over $9M since our launch just over a year ago.

Your Role as a Full-Stack Engineer

As a Full-Stack Engineer, you will collaborate closely with our CTO and engineering team to design, build, and launch products from conception to launch. This involves working across the entire stack — from front-end (written in React/TypeScript), back-end (written in Kotlin and Python), machine learning (agentic workflows, entity matching), to infrastructure (AWS, Docker). Working at a startup so early, it's common to kick off a feature on Monday, and have users use it on Friday. You should be comfortable working with these tight feedback loops and long to build a product that users love. Don't worry if you lack experience in any of these areas - your application is still welcome!
