Zuplo API Management

Zuplo is reimagining the API Gateway for developers. Founded by the folks behind Auth0’s developer experience and Azure API Management, we are an innovative and fast-growing startup that is moved by building products developers love to use. Our team is passionate, collaborative, and driven by a shared vision to create exceptional products and services.

As we scale, we're looking for a talented Backend Engineer to join our team and play a pivotal role in ensuring the reliability, scalability, and performance of our infrastructure.

We believe in fostering a growth mindset, valuing feedback, and empowering our team to continuously improve. Employees at Zuplo are expected to be highly committed, adaptable, and ready to take on diverse responsibilities to drive our vision forward. It’s not always easy, but it’s always rewarding.

We are not a 9-to-5 company. Zuplo is fully remote and offers flexible working hours but also expects high output and quality. Zuplo is a fast-paced, highly adaptable environment where we work hard, learn fast, and push boundaries. We respect the importance of work-life balance, but also expect a high level of commitment when deadlines are approaching or challenges arise. This isn't just a job—it's an opportunity to grow, learn, and make a significant impact on a rapidly growing company that wants to fix a multi-billion dollar market. If you're looking for a place where your contributions will be recognized, your skills will be challenged, and you’ll grow alongside a passionate team, Zuplo is the place for you.
