hn-hiring

My name is Marius and I am the CTO at AREO (https://goareo.com/).
AREO, founded in January 2023 by a team with 20+ years of combined experience in retail and startups, is a young startup specializing in developing innovative solutions for supermarkets and grocery retail stores.
Our cutting-edge B2B SaaS platform optimizes workflows for employees by providing real-time access to inventory, product information, and customer inquiries. We serve large supermarket chains in Germany and across the EU.
We already hired two backend developers through "HN - Who is hiring" and are now seeking a Lead Product Engineer / Engineering Manager with a minimum of 8 years of experience (preferably in startups), as we just closed another large contract with a major retail chain and are growing quickly.
For both the Product Engineer and the Engineering Manager role professional knowledge of German is required.
If you're passionate about building innovative retail products from scratch, these roles are for you.
Backend Stack: Ruby / Rails (8.x), StimulusJS / Hotwire / Turbo, AlpineJS, Postgres, Docker, DigitalOcean, OpenAPI, LLMs
Perks: Fully remote roles (Europe), work where you are most productive, sizeable equity in a rapidly growing company, flat hierarchies, no-ego work environment, work in a lean but highly experienced team
