About the role
We are looking for a Senior Backend & Cloud Engineer for a growing B2B SaaS scale-up, with a role of day-to-day technical leadership, very close to development and execution.
The position reports to the Head of IT, who leads the technological product vision and architecture.
This role was created to strengthen the technical and infrastructure side, grounding that vision and ensuring the platform is built and scales solidly.
It is not a management or organizational strategy position, but rather a senior, hands-on technical reference role.
What you'll do
- Be the technical reference for backend and cloud within the team.
- Actively participate in the development, design, and evolution of the backend.
- Provide input on decisions regarding infrastructure, scalability, and performance, working with specialized teams when necessary.

- A key and influential role in the company's global strategy.
- A stable project with real growth.
- Direct participation in relevant technical decisions.
- An ambitious, multicultural, and collaborative team.
- Barcelona as a base (70% office / 30% remote model).
- A highly competitive salary package commensurate with seniority.
Requirements
🧩 You will be a perfect fit if you have…
- A solid background in software architecture, cloud, and Java development.
- Experience working in cloud environments and distributed systems (AWS or others).
- Enough infrastructure knowledge to understand, question, and decide, without needing to be a DevOps specialist.
- Previous experience in startup / scale-up environments or digital products.
- A proactive profile, with technical judgment and the ability to lead from execution.
- Comfortable reporting to a Head of IT and working collaboratively.
- A solid background in software architecture, cloud, and Java development.
- Real experience building and scaling B2B SaaS platforms.
- Mastery of the complete product development lifecycle and continuous delivery.
- Demonstrable experience scaling teams and systems in international environments.
- Ability to develop technical leadership within the team (Technical Directors, Leads…).
- Capacity to inspire, align, communicate, and make decisions with clarity.
- A pragmatic, systematic mindset oriented toward documentation, simplicity, and resilience.
- Fluency in Spanish and English.
- Residence in Barcelona or availability to work there in a hybrid model (70% office).
