Backend Developer

Behind every great digital product is a backend that simply works. Fast, scalable, reliable - even when things get complex. As a Backend Developer at OWOW, you build that foundation.

You’ll join a team of 30+ Wizkids across development, design, and strategy. A group of fun, sharp, and passionate colleagues who genuinely enjoy figuring things out together. We challenge each other, support each other, and care about what we build. There’s a lot of knowledge in the room. And a lot of laughter too.

At OWOW, you get a lot of freedom and autonomy in how you approach your work. We trust you to make smart technical decisions and to take ownership of them. That flexibility also means responsibility. You manage your time, your quality standards, and your impact. No micromanagement; ownership.

We’re looking for a Backend Developer who understands how to design clean, scalable, and future-proof architectures. Someone who enjoys solving complex challenges, setting up cloud infrastructure, and building systems that can grow with the product. You’ll build and maintain the backend systems that power our apps, websites, and platforms, and you’ll collaborate closely with frontend developers, designers, and product owners to make sure everything connects seamlessly.

If you’re someone who thinks in systems, enjoys working with talented people, and wants both freedom and responsibility in your role, you’ll feel at home here.

Let’s build solid foundations together.
