Senior Backend Engineer (Remote, Switzerland)
(Remote — Americas or Europe)
At Nango (YC W23), we’re building the modern way for developers to build product integrations. Companies run on an ever-growing stack of software, and meaningful automations require these tools to work seamlessly together. That only happens through integrations.
We’re the leading open-source platform for product integrations. More than 100 paying customers — including Linux, Contentful, Semgrep — already rely on Nango. We’ve passed $1M ARR with just 6 people, growing fast through inbound, product-led adoption.
We’re backed by YC and executives from Cloudflare, Retool, Notion. Adoption is especially strong among fast-growing AI companies (e.g. Exa, Vapi, Tennr, Motion), where integrations are the first step to connecting AI agents with the real world.

Build world-class developer interfaces: APIs, SDKs, UIs, and a runtime that delights developers.
Collaborate directly with customers to solve integration challenges.
Optimize performance, scalability, and reliability across backend services.

Deep experience with developer infrastructure, APIs, databases, and performance-critical systems.
Passion for developer tools, best practices, and building outstanding DX.
