What do we do?
myCrew is a global community of people who love running. It helps you meet active people near you and manage all of your social runs in one place. We believe in the power of connecting people through their active lifestyles, based on shared interests and abilities. That’s why we are building a mobile platform that enables active people to discover, meet, work out and form lasting relationships.
As the founders of a global urban fitness movement – Midnight Runners – we know exactly what it takes to build a fitness community. We’ve discovered the power and life-changing benefits of sharing our active lifestyles together with others. With over 20,000 people across 8 countries that have participated in our events over the past 3 years, we were able to gather unique insights and valuable experience. They have helped us develop the tech platform myCrew which enables people all around the world to find others to work out with.
We are now looking for a phenomenal Backend Engineer who is passionate about an active lifestyle to join our team to take our product to the next level. We are looking for someone who can iterate fast, work hard, make pragmatic decisions and find new ways to solve technical, fun and interesting challenges every day.

We practice what we preach
We work from a laid back part of Venice. We're located a 2 minutes walk from the beach, around the corner from trendy cafés (Rose Cafe & Firehouse) and super close to the famous Gold's Gym. We have space for your bike, surfboard and wetsuit. The fridge is full of fresh fruit and we have a shower if you need to refresh after a dip in the ocean or your morning bike commute.
Work for us is a way of life. We always want you to give 100% but that doesn't stop at the desk. For us dropping everything and hitting the trails, riding your Inboard or catching a wave is just as important to our business as the bottom line. We thrive off adventure and the extreme because the more you challenge yourself, the more you challenge us - and that is what we are all about.
