Why Work with Us?
At Pearl, we’re not just another recruiting firm—we connect you with exceptional opportunities to work alongside visionary US and EU founders. Our focus is on placing you in roles where you can grow, be challenged, and build long-term, meaningful careers.
Our client is a fast-growing technology startup building complex, high-impact systems in a dynamic and rapidly evolving environment. The company operates with a strong builder culture, prioritizing speed, ownership, and technical excellence over rigid processes. Teams are small, highly autonomous, and deeply accountable for outcomes. The organization values long-term thinking, resilience, and engineers who thrive in ambiguity.
This role is designed for a Full Stack Engineer who wants end-to-end ownership over large engineering initiatives and enjoys working outside a traditional 9–5 structure. You will build, scale, and maintain systems across frontend, backend, and infrastructure layers, translating ideas into reliable production-ready solutions. The role is execution-heavy and highly autonomous, requiring strong first-principles thinking and technical depth. You will collaborate cross-functionally while owning decisions in fast-moving, ambiguous problem spaces. This position is ideal for engineers motivated by responsibility, impact, and long-term system ownership.
You will directly shape core systems that power the company’s products and internal operations. Your work will improve system reliability, scalability, and development velocity across the organization. You’ll influence architectural decisions that enable faster iteration and long-term maintainability. By owning features end-to-end, you will reduce bottlenecks, improve incident response, and raise the overall engineering quality bar.
