Founding Software Engineer, Full-stack
Engineering & Product · Bucharest or Amsterdam · Full-time · On-site
boxd
The future is on serverless containers
Founded in 2026, boxd builds development environments for fast-growing engineering teams: lightning-fast, persistent-by-default, hardware-isolated, and forkable machines. Soon, 99.9% of code will be written and maintained by agents, and they'll need billions of machines exactly like these. That's what we're building.
About the role
You'll be one of the first engineers on the team, building across the whole platform: the Raft-based distributed system that coordinates the serverless container stack, our own microVM engine and custom Linux kernels, the proxy layer that speaks SSH, TLS, and DNS, the SDKs, the CLIs, and the web console.
You'll work directly with the founders, talk to the engineering teams using boxd, and ship every day. You make decisions that shape the future of the company.
What you'll do
- Ship features end to end, from the Rust backend to the web console.
- Own whole product surfaces, from onboarding and billing to the SDKs, the docs, and the experience inside every machine.
- Talk to the engineering teams working in boxd every day and turn what you hear into product.
- Help decide what we build next, not just how.
About you
- You're a cracked engineer who communicates clearly.
- You have your own taste and opinions: you know what good looks like, and you'll argue for it.
- You're comfortable across the stack.
- You're fed up with complicated infrastructure, and you want to make it accessible.
- You're in Bucharest or Amsterdam, or excited to relocate to one of them.
What you'll get
- A base salary between €60,000 and €120,000. We make exceptions for exceptional talent.
- A stake in the company through our employee stock option plan.
- Colleagues who are exceptional at what they do, on the engineering side and the commercial side.
- Unlimited flexibility in when you work.
- A free gym membership.
- Company trips and events.
