SOUS

1-10

Netherlands

Over 2 million food & beverage (F&B) businesses operate in the EU.

60% face failure within their first year

80% in five years.

**SOUS is here to change that.**

We’re building a platform that empowers independent F&B creators to thrive—unlocking new revenue streams, cutting costs, and scaling online growth with ease. From e-commerce to delivery management to building loyal communities, we’re reimagining how independent F&B brands grow in a digital-first world.

In just two years, we’ve scaled rapidly, onboarded top talent, and brought in over €8M in sales for our clients. Now, we’re evolving—transitioning to a SaaS-first model that will shape the future of the €100B independent F&B market.

To make this vision a reality, we’re searching for a Full-Stack Tech Lead who’s as excited about building great products as they are about leading a team. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves, write brilliant code, and influence the technical direction of a high-growth startup, we’d love to meet you.

## Tasks

**Code, Build, and Ship (50%-60% of your time):**

*   Develop and refine our core backend (Django REST Framework) and frontend (React + TypeScript).
*   Create and improve APIs for users, orders, shipping, and partner tools.
*   Build smart integrations with tools like Shopify and Mendrix.
*   Scale and optimize serverless microservices on GCP (and AWS in the future).
*   Ensure our stack is clean, scalable, and future-proof.

**Lead, Inspire, and Strategize (40%-50% of your time):**

*   Architect and scale multi-tenant SaaS solutions for the next phase of SOUS.
*   Collaborate with product, design, and operations teams to align technical plans with business goals.
*   Set the bar for code quality, testing (TDD/BDD), and CI/CD workflows.
*   Mentor developers to help them grow while creating a culture of engineering excellence.
*   Own the technical roadmap—spotting opportunities to innovate and improve.

## Requirements

**Hands-On Experience:**

*   You’ve been in the trenches as a full-stack developer for 8+ years, and you’re fluent in Python (Django) and JavaScript/TypeScript (React).
*   You’ve built and scaled serverless microservices that are battle-tested in production.
*   Your database game is strong—PostgreSQL and ORMs are second nature to you**.**

**Leadership in Action:**

*   You’ve led teams as a senior or tech lead for 2+ years, balancing writing code with mentoring and decision-making.
*   You can architect systems that are both elegant and robust while keeping your hands dirty in the codebase.

**Smart Development Practices:**

*   Testing isn’t just a buzzword for you—it’s how you build (Pytest, React Testing Library).
*   You’re fluent in Git workflows and CI/CD tools (e.g., Bitbucket Pipelines).

**API experience:**

*   Deep experience in building and integrating APIs—whether it’s RESTful APIs, JWT Auth, or third-party tools like Shopify and Mendrix.

**Frontend Know-How:**

*   Modern frameworks (React, Material UI, React-Query) are where you shine.
*   You know how to make frontends fast, responsive, and delightful.

**Bonus Points For:**

*   Experience with Firebase (Auth, Hosting) or Google Analytics 4.
*   Building SaaS platforms and multi-tenant architectures.
*   A background in e-commerce, marketplaces, or scaling startups.

## Benefits

**Why SOUS?**

*   Competitive Salary + Equity: €100k + options—you’ll grow with us.
*   Shape the Future: Your contributions will define what SOUS becomes.
*   Flexibility: While we’re primarily on-site, we value flexibility when it makes sense.
*   Passion-Driven Team: Join a group of foodies and techies who love solving big problems.High Impact: Be part of a mission that’s changing the way F&B creators succeed.

**What to Expect in the Hiring Process:**

1.  A 30-minute intro call to get to know each other.
2.  A 60-minute technical deep dive.
3.  A take-home project (with a 90-minute review session).
4.  A 45-minute cultural alignment chat to see if we’re a match.

**Ready to make an impact? Let’s build something incredible together.**
