Product Engineer

Location: This role is remote in Spain

🚀About Xolo:

At Xolo, we believe solopreneurs deserve better. We've spent the last decade simplifying entrepreneurship - removing bureaucracy, automating admin, and enabling thousands of people across the globe to build and run their businesses on their own terms.

Our pioneering products are designed for freelancers, consultants, and microentrepreneurs who want to focus on their craft - not the paperwork. With more than 100 team members globally, we're building the best possible version of solopreneurship.

💡 About the role:

We’re looking for a Product Engineer to work on our core platform. You’ll build and maintain backend and frontend systems that help entrepreneurs run their businesses with less admin. This role suits someone who likes taking ownership and initiative, thinking through real-world problems, and working closely with different teams in a growing startup environment.

🤓 As a Product Engineer at Xolo, you will:

• Design, build, and maintain backend and frontend systems that power our core platform.
• Take ownership of features end-to-end - from understanding the problem and success metrics to implementation, monitoring, and improvement.
• Work with Product, Design, and in-house tax experts to turn accounting and regulatory requirements into clear, automated workflows.
• Make technical decisions that balance security, performance, quality, and long-term maintainability.

🔎 You are the one we are looking for if you: 

• You are comfortable working with Java, and Spring Boot.
  • Experience with Kotlin and Clojure is welcome too (We enjoy being challenged!)
• You’re confident with SQL and designing database schemas that perform well under real user load. Experience with PostgreSQL is a plus.
• You have experience with AWS (or another major cloud provider) and are interested in deepening your understanding of infrastructure, networking, CI/CD, and containers.
• You like working through edge cases and solving non-trivial problems, and you care about writing clean, understandable solutions.
• You build with reliability in mind: you add observability, investigate issues properly, and follow them through to resolution.
  
• You’re a quick and eager learner who shares knowledge openly and values shipping working software over endless debating.
• You work independently and responsibly: you communicate early, unblock yourself when possible, and don’t let work stall.
  
• You think beyond implementation details and care about how your work impacts customers and the business.
