We are

looking for a motivated and innovative Back-end Engineer to join our team in Reykjavík, Iceland. This is a fantastic opportunity

do​

• Build for real operators.​ Build software used by thousands of tour and activity

businesses around the world — what you ship gets used, fast.

• Write code, daily.​ This is a

hands-on engineering role. You'll spend most of your time building, not in meetings.

• Work

end-to-end.​ Collaborate with product, design, and front-end to take features from idea to production.

• Improve the foundations.​ Refactor, modernise, and pay down technical debt in a mature codebase that's earned

its complexity honestly.

• Shape the platform.​ Contribute to architectural decisions and help

guide where our back-end goes next.

• Collaborate with the best.​ Join a team of skilled engineers

where you'll brainstorm, refine ideas, and learn from people who care about their craft.
