Big companies are like giant boats with a thousand rowers — you can’t feel your pull move the boat. Shoppin isn’t that boat. We’re a 10-person crew rowing like our lives depend on it — each one the best at what they do, each stroke moving the product forward every single day. If you believe small, fast, obsessive teams can beat giants, read on.

What You’ll Do:

Build and optimize Shoppin’s vibe, image, and inspiration search, powering both text and image-based discovery.

Work on vector embeddings, retrieval pipelines, and semantic search using ElasticSearch, Redis caching, and LLM APIs.

Design and ship high-performance Python microservices that move fast and scale beautifully.

Experiment with prompt engineering, ranking models, and multimodal retrieval.

• Collaborate directly with the founder — moving from idea → prototype → production in hours, not weeks.

 Tech You’ll Work With

• Languages & Frameworks: Python, FastAPI
• Search & Infra: ElasticSearch, Redis, PostgreSQL
• AI Stack: Vector Databases, Embeddings, LLM APIs (OpenAI, Gemini, etc.)
• Dev Tools: Cursor, Docker, Kubernetes

 What We’re Looking For

• Strong mathematical intuition — you understand cosine similarity, normalization, and ranking functions.
• Experience or deep curiosity in text + image search.
• Comfort with Python, data structures, and system design.
• Speed-obsessed — you optimize for velocity, not bureaucracy.
• Hungry to go all-in, ship hard things, and make a dent.

Bonus Points

• Experience with LLM prompting or orchestration.
• Exposure to recommendation systems, fashion/culture AI, or multimodal embeddings.
• You’ve built or scaled something end-to-end yourself.

Your fellow team members will get you up to speed in your business area and will help you develop the skills so that eventually you are the one coaching other new joiners. Joining one of our expanding agile teams, you will be required to work closely with product owners, mobile engineers, and other business members to translate requirements into well-engineered solutions.

You will ideally join our backend Community of Practices, learn from them and eventually propose your own to maintain a high quality across the backend.

This role offers an exceptional opportunity to make a real difference with responsibilities across engineering practices in a rapidly expanding company!

About the Tech

Technology and our people is what makes Tide possible. We work in autonomous teams where backend, iOS, Android, web, QA, DevOps, agile coaches, data experts and product owners solve difficult problems together to get the job done. We self-organise and discuss technical challenges and set our own guidelines in the different Community of Practices.

On the backend we see Java 8 as legacy and use Java 11+ for our micro-services. We provide RESTful APIs to our colleagues in the frontend, but also use gRPC for internal service-to-service communications. Spring Boot is our work horse, but we are open to new experiments. We are cloud-native and run everything on AWS. You’ll see containers (Docker), queues (SNS+SQS) and events everywhere. The nature of our business naturally fits with relational databases, but we have also found some use cases for NoSQL.

Our frontends have done an incredible job at consuming our APIs and providing the best UX to our members. They are fully native Android and iOS apps or Angular 2+ web apps. DevOps provides vital infrastructure and operations support.

About You

We’re an international scale up, we’re busy! If fast paced environments, cross team exposure, inquisitive freedom and the ability to have a real impact on a rapidly growing scale up appeals to you, then you already have the mind of a Tidean.
