Senior Backend Engineer
About Andercore
Andercore is the AI-native supplier of industrial materials for energy, infrastructure, and construction in wholesale and beyond. We trade with global suppliers and distribute to European customers on our own account. Our AI runs the full trade and distribution end-to-end: sourcing, quality, pricing, sales, logistics, and embedded financing.
For the customer, it feels like buying from their preferred local supplier; for our partners, it is the most convenient and safe way to do business across borders. Behind it, our software and agentic AI do the heavy lifting that used to take an asset-intensive supply chain with four or five intermediaries and weeks of manual coordination.
Where we are today
- Strong triple-digit million-euro turnover
- Seven European markets live
- 80+ people across Berlin (HQ), offices in London, Mumbai, and Shanghai
- $40M Series B just closed, $75M raised so far from Atomico, Project A, Inven Capital, and institutional financing from international banks.
We are building the world’s first and last industrial-grade AI operating system for materials, redefining how global trade works in one of the largest and most essential industries on Earth.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About the Role
As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will be a technical anchor across the team — expected to:

What You’ll Do
- Take ownership of complex backend systems from design through production (architecture, implementation, and long-term maintenance).
- Lead technical discussions, drive engineering decisions, and document trade-offs clearly for the team.
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, pairing sessions, and structured feedback.
- Identify systemic weaknesses in our infrastructure, propose improvements, and execute on them with minimal direction.
- Collaborate across engineering, product, and data to align technical direction with business goals.
- Drive improvements to observability, reliability, and performance across our backend stack.
- Contribute to hiring by participating in technical interviews and helping define the engineering bar.
