Our Mission The way businesses buy stuff is completely broken . Whether it's SaaS, hardware, or contractors, the average B2B purchase takes over 3 months , requires 50+ emails , and involves multiple different stakeholders (IT, Legal, InfoSec, Finance, etc.). No one likes the way it is and it's slowing businesses down . Omnea's platform handles the entire purchasing process : giving employees an easy place to make requests (Intake), managing the necessary approvals for the purchase to be made (Approvals Engine), and automating all renewals management & supplier risk assessments. Omnea gives both buyers, and finance & procurement leaders critical visibility into how, when, and why money is being spent. Given the current market's increased focus on capital efficiency, there has never been a more vital time for businesses to use Omnea and get control of their spend. This is why we're one of the fastest growing Series A B2B businesses in Europe, backed by tier-1 VCs like Accel , First Round , & Point Nine . Welcome to Spend Control 2.0 - built for tougher times. What we're looking for We're looking for an exceptional, product-minded software engineer to join our engineering team & help scale Omnea with us. Our team will grow from low double-digit to 200+ enterprise customers and through 10x revenue growth all in the next 2-3 years! You will support us in driving the growth of our product, team, and company through each chapter as we go from 'start-up' to 'scale-up'. You'll be joining us at an incredibly exciting time, just as things are starting to take off! We're a Series A company having raised $25m from Accel, Point Nine, First Round, and 50+ renowned founders and industry experts. We've built an incredible & passionate team - every member was a top performer at their previous business - and our CEO , CCO & CFO went on a similar journey with Tessian, going from $0-30m ARR / $8-$500m valuation, and from pre-seed to Series C (Sequoia, Accel, etc.). Now we're ready to scale. We are looking for the best software engineers out there to help make Omnea one of Europe's leading tech businesses: come build with us! We're hiring at both the Level 3 (Senior) and Level 4 (Lead) level. We care more about skills than years of experience, but for your calibration, typically we'd expect candidates at this level to have around 5+ years of software engineering experience. You should be prepared to undertake our pair-programming stage of the interview process in Javascript or Typescript and be assessed on that basis as if it has been your main language. We're hiring for full-stack engineers so if you're only really a frontend or a backend engineer, are mostly a devops/platform person, or have mostly been using a very different language (eg Java) this likely isn't a fit for you. What Can You Expect in our Tech team? Join a Skilled Team . You'll become part of one of Europe's fastest growing early-stage companies, working alongside a team of experienced full-stack product engineers who were all high performers at some of the best tech companies out there. Direct Product Impact. You will be involved in key product decisions, including prioritising our product roadmap, defining project scopes, and technical direction. You'll have a significant voice in discussions about product strategy, user experience, and technical feasibility, making sure we steer our product roadmap towards success. Work with Modern Tech . Omnea is fully built on cloud-native and serverless technologies. Our primary stack is based on Typescript with React & Material UI, Postgres, Hasura and AWS Serverless Technologies such as Lambda, DynamoDB and EventBridge - all managed via AWS CDK & SST. We use Sentry, Lumigo and LogRocket for observability and Github Actions for automated testing and deployment. End-to-end Ownership. You will be entrusted with end-to-end ownership of your projects. From product, design and architectural decisions, all the way to deployment, monitoring and measuring impact on users. You will work across the stack, covering everything from DevOps to styling. We expect each other to take initiative, be proactive in problem-solving, and continuously seek improvements. Continuous Delivery. We embrace continuous delivery to keep our systems agile, responsive and safe. You will be deploying small, incremental changes to production multiple times per day, ensuring a constant flow of improvements and rapid adaptation to any customer needs or technical challenges. Tackle Scalability Challenges . As we grow our customer base from tens to hundreds and expand into new product domains, you will help us scale our product, architecture and processes efficiently while maintaining performance and reliability. Collaboration & Autonomy . You will often work autonomously to take charge of your projects, make decisions, and drive your work forward. But as a lean and high trust team, we remain quick to collaborate and support each other with challenging problems together. Customers at the Centre. Being really responsive to customer feedback and issues is key. We actively encourage engaging with customers, understanding their experience, and iterating our products based on their input to deliver solutions that truly delight them. About You You're experienced ( not a hard rule, but typically 5+ years ) with building web apps having designed and implemented features from start to finish ( full-stack, using Typescript and ideally AWS). You focus on having a high impact . You've spearheaded the engineering of critical systems before, working with best-in-class tooling in AWS, IaaC, observability and quality assessments. You want to discover the best ways to bring this to an early-stage startup. You know what good can look like . You understand what it takes to build highly reliable & well architected products. You build with quality, observability & redundancy at the forefront. You're ready to get a lot done. You enjoy all aspects of building a product and are comfortable moving across the stack when necessary. You enjoy problem solving and thinking from first principals You're ready to pick up new skills and build quickly You're someone who craves ownership. Maybe you find yourself gravitating towards the meatier engineering projects or you want to level up DevOPS or SRE game. If there's an opportunity to work on something bigger, you're keen to take it on. You're a team builder. You're a team player. You're excited by helping maximise team performance, whether that requires you to learn from others or to take the time to explain things, provide actionable feedback, and level up those around you. You're comfortable when faced with ambiguity. You're happy to tackle problems without a predefined clear definition or obvious solution, and are excited to have autonomy to make decisions as you go, all whilst having the support of an experienced team alongside you Nice to haves that really stand out to us You've performed exceptionally at something else in the past, be it academics, sport, work etc. You've gone above and beyond the norm. You love engineering , it's more than a job for you. You've contributed to open-source projects or worked on side-projects in your spare time just because you enjoy it. You're confident in your ability to tackle ambiguous problems and crank out quality code. At Omnea, we embrace diversity. To build a product that's loved by everyone, we're best served by a team with all sorts of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't quite match the full job spec! And regardless of your race, religion, colour, gender, or anything else!
