Join Poppins as our next Engineer!

Who needs to own things when you can own the moment?

We live in a world where we own too many things we barely ever use. Poppins is the app that turns the neighbourhood into one big shared closet: the neighbour's drill, the bike from the shop downstairs, the camera belonging to the photographer on the 3rd floor are suddenly yours too.

We closed our second funding round in February, passed 500,000 users, and we're growing double digits every month. Our brand is built on community and PR: it's about changing habits and creating a genuinely new consumption reflex. If you want to be at the heart of the reactor right at the start of the adventure, you're in the right place!

We’re looking for a Product Engineer with strong appetite for our product, willing to join a small Tech team, working closely with the business stakeholders.

About the Role

We are looking for a new member in our Tech team to build new features and help scaling the product to maximize our growth - both geographically and the density in every area. We will be a lean tech and product team of 3. There is no product team per say so you will be working with the business stakeholders directly, reporting to the CEO.

Not backend-only

You'll work across our API layer and our apps: React Native on mobile, React + TanStack Start on web. We're small, so you'll move between backend and frontend depending on the week.
