We're building the future of fleet management with AI — and we're still early.
Flottando is growing fast, and we're looking for a
Founding Software Engineer
ready to take real ownership and build the backbone of our new AI products alongside the CTO and Head of Product.
This isn't a "just implement tickets" job. It's a chance to join at the inflection point, shape architecture and culture, and leave your fingerprints on a product used by real businesses across Europe.
If you've helped a startup scale before, know how to move fast without breaking things, and love to build end-to-end systems with impact — this might be the one.
What You'll Do
Build, scale, and maintain the core backend powering Flottando's fleet management platform
Work directly with the CTO to define architecture, priorities, and roadmap
Take ownership from idea to production — design, implement, test, deploy, measure, repeat
Collaborate tightly with product and design to deliver features that actually solve user problems
Help shape our engineering culture, development practices, and tooling choices as we grow
What We're Looking For
5+ years
of experience as a software engineer — ideally in fast-moving startups
Strong backend development skills (Python preferred — FastAPI experience is a plus)
Comfortable across the stack: we use
FastAPI
,
React
,
PostgreSQL
, and
AWS (serverless)
You've shipped real products, not just internal tools — and you know what "ownership" really means
You value performance, scalability, and clean architecture as much as getting things done
You're a clear communicator who thrives in async, remote-first environments
What We Offer
Competitive salary
+
meaningful stock options
— you'll own a piece of what you're building
Fully remote
role — work from anywhere in Italy
Real impact
— every line of code touches real customers
High autonomy
— no corporate layers, no PM overhead; engineers here drive the product
Startup pace
— you'll learn and grow faster than anywhere else
Team meetups
twice a year (we fly everyone in — on us)
Who You Are
You've seen how startups work — the chaos, the speed, the grind, the reward — and you want more of it.
You don't wait for instructions. You connect dots, move fast, and care deeply about what you build.
You want to be part of a small, elite team where your work actually matters.
