## Job description

Location: **Buenos Aires, Argentina (Hybrid)**

## [**About The Mobile-First Company**](https://www.themobilefirstcompany.com)

Most tools for small businesses weren’t built for real operators. They were built for employees in offices, not people running a business from their phone.

We’re changing that.

We build **mobile-first business software** that feels like a consumer app, runs on AI, and spreads like a creator brand. Our first product, [Allô](https://www.withallo.com/), gives you a second number on your phone, answers missed calls with AI, transcribes everything, and syncs it to your CRM.

**Over 20,000 businesses use it every day.** Next up: expenses, invoicing, and more.

We’ve raised **+5 million dolars** from Lightspeed, EMBLEM, and 30+ top operators. Our team is based in **Paris, Buenos Aires**, **Miami**.

Drive the evolution of our backend technology, infrastructure, and AI capabilities to ensure high performance, scalability, and seamless integration for our mobile applications.

## **What will you do:**

* Work side by side with our CTO to build the foundations, the present, and the future of our backend, and AI systems.
* Develop and enhance backend systems for both existing and new applications in conjunction with mobile engineers.
* Contribute to systems design, infrastructure planning, CI/CD processes, and data workflows.

## **What you'll be working on:**

* Implementing and maintaining scalable and reliable backend systems using languages like Kotlin, Java, Go, Python or similar.
* Designing and defining backend tools, databases, and the architecture of our apps.
* Working directly with Cloud services (e.g., AWS, Supabase, Cloudflare).
* Creating tools, libraries, or components to enhance the efficiency of backend development processes.

## **What we’re looking for**

1. Backend Engineering:

   * Proficiency in backend development with expertise in languages like Kotlin, Java, Go, Python or similar.
   * Familiarity with database design, management, and optimization.
   * Track record of building and maintaining scalable and reliable backend systems.
   * Experience with AI is a strong plus, especially in applying models to real-world product use cases and optimizing performance in production environments.
2. Systems Architecture:

   * Expertise in designing scalable and maintainable backend architectures, understanding when to apply different architectural patterns.
   * Capable of monitoring the whole architecture using tools like New Relic or Datadog.
3. Performance and data

   * You know how to build scalable and maintainable code
   * You care about what to measure and how it impacts business and users
   * You track behavior, usage, and performance, and improve based on it

4. How you think

   * You care about *why* we build things, not just how.
   * You ask smart questions, challenge ideas when needed, and help shape what’s next.
   * You think in terms of user value and business impact.
5. How you work

   * You communicate clearly, give feedback with no ego, and help others grow.
   * You move fast, take ownership, and thrive in ambiguity.
   * You're comfortable working in English — and in a small team with big goals.

## **What matters to us**

* You’ve worked in product companies
* 6+ years of experience designing and building high-performance systems used by millions.
* You’re proactive, autonomous, and know how to fill the gaps
* You can communicate in English, since that's our official language. Most of the team also speaks Spanish and French.

## **What we offer**

* Competitive salary (in USD or local equivalent)
* Equity package
* 10-day team retreats abroad every quarter
* Laptop and work setup of your choice
* Private health insurance (for US or LATAM hires)
* A tight, ambitious team building something real — fast
