About the Opportunity

Bounce is building the operating system for the physical world, starting with the largest global luggage storage network in existence. Our marketplace connects travelers with over 30,000 small business locations worldwide for hyper-local, short-term baggage storage. With more locations globally than Burger King, and more locations in New York City than Starbucks, Bounce has served 3M+ users and stored 10M+ bags, paying over $10M to small business partners. In 2024, we were named the Inc5000 fastest-growing travel company in the USA and are backed by leading Silicon Valley investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, and Sapphire.

We are seeking a Full Stack Engineer to join our Lisbon office. This role will play a pivotal part in crafting new products atop our platform and expanding the efficacy of the Bounce marketplace.

Your Mission

You will own complete feature lifecycles and solve traveler problems through production code. This role shapes marketplace and platform capabilities within our fast-paced Lisbon team. You thrive in fast cycles, turning concepts into live systems with speed and precision.

You will collaborate with global teams to support new product innovations and business initiatives, continuously exploring new ventures from both an engineering and product perspective. Your daily work will involve writing high-quality code for our mobile and web applications. You will assume strong ownership of products and services, and continuously improve and maintain existing code and architecture.

You will work in a fast-paced environment and shoulder the responsibility and commitment of the production environment. You will work with Elixir, React Native, Expo, React, NextJS, and Typescript, and introduce other technologies when beneficial. You will bring a passion for staying on top of industry trends, experimenting with and learning new technologies, and participating in internal and external technology communities.

How We Build Products at Bounce

At Bounce, we focus on serving our customers and partners rather than solely on technological innovation.

We work in fast-paced one-week cycles. Projects are usually scoped down to fit into one or two cycles. Projects are led by individuals but are a shared effort across the entire team. There will always be aspects of any project that will require collaboration, feedback, and guidance-we expect you to ask for help.

An ideal candidate is excited by all aspects of this software-building process, not just writing code. We are a small team that thrives off of individuals who can take features from an idea to live on production. This is not a role where issues will be assigned to you and you churn through them.
