Backend Developer

Job Description

Who we are:

Reshape an industry. Thrive individually. Grow together.

Archilogic is here to solve big, complex problems that will have a real impact on the physical spaces around us. So we hire bright, curious people who are committed to creating a whole new category.

Together, we’re transforming how buildings work with spatial data, making them more adaptable, more efficient, more sustainable – and better for human beings, too.

We’re building a world-class working culture

We’re ambitious. But we also want to grow sustainably – and thoughtfully – for the long term. No blowing up and burning out for us.

We believe that if you trust people to work when they want, in the way they want, everyone wins.

While we value autonomy, you’ll be joining a team of smart, supportive colleagues.

And because brilliant people are rare, we look for them everywhere. That means we set the standard for remote working: from home-office budgets to virtual get-togethers, wherever you are you’ll benefit from a positive office culture – even without being in an office.
