RemoFirst is transforming the way businesses hire and manage global teams. Our mission is to enable Freedom of Work by providing an all-in-one global HR platform that simplifies hiring, compliance, payroll, and benefits management. We partner with some of the world’s most innovative companies, including Fortune 500 businesses and leading startups.
We are a small but strong team of 200+ people (and growing) hyper-focused on delivering a world-class platform and unparalleled service with our industry-leading partnerships.
We are looking for a Senior Back-End Engineer with strong experience in both Python and Java to help us maintain and improve our existing Python-based systems and support the design, build, and strategic transition of parts of our backend to Java. This is a hands-on role with strong technical ownership and exposure to global-scale systems. This role goes beyond simply implementing requirements - you’d be a real product engineer taking extreme ownership over the quality of your product, caring deeply about our customers and what’s being built. You will collaborate with international engineering, product, and design teams in a fully remote setup.
RemoFirst describes a three-step hiring process: a thorough screening of every applicant, tailored interviews adapted to each role, and a focus on a smooth candidate experience regardless of the outcome. The company says it hires for potential, not just resumes.
What values does RemoFirst look for in candidates?
The careers page lists five values: Fast, Innovative, Respectful, Self-improvement, and Trust. In practice that means urgency in onboarding, customer response, and product development, plus a stated philosophy of hiring the right team and trusting them.
How is work evaluated on a fully remote team?
Employees describe a focus on results and outcomes rather than task-based work, with leadership empowering team members to take the lead and make decisions on challenges.
Can I work from anywhere, in any timezone?
Yes. Teammates are spread across roughly 30 countries on multiple continents, and the careers page states the team works remotely anywhere in the world, whenever they want.
Who is a good fit for RemoFirst?
People who want a startup environment where they can build and scale from scratch. Employees report the team recently doubled in size within a year, so roles come with fast growth and the chance to shape processes rather than inherit them.
