Why Polar

Building and scaling software has never been easier — but monetizing it has never been harder.

Polar exists to empower the next generation of one-developer unicorns — independent builders turning small projects into global businesses. We’re building the platform that makes this possible: turning your software into an international business in six lines of code.

Join a small, elite, and engineering-led team distributed across Europe, focused on shipping fast and serving developers who are redefining what it means to scale.

The Role

We’re hiring Product Engineers to help shape the future of developer monetization. You’ll work across our stack — from frontend interfaces to backend systems — building features that make it seamless for developers to scale their businesses.

At Polar, speed and ownership define our culture. We deploy countless times per day, cut out bureaucracy, and give engineers full autonomy to ship world-class software fast.

What You’ll Do
• Ship daily toward building the world’s best monetization platform for developers.
• Design, build, and deploy features end-to-end — across frontend, backend, and infrastructure.
• Collaborate on architecture and technical design decisions that impact scale and performance.
• Continuously improve code quality, reliability, and developer experience.
• Engage directly with the developer community to uncover pain points and ship solutions that delight.

What You’ll Bring
• 5+ years building, shipping, and scaling high-quality software.
• Ability to ship fast and solve problems end-to-end.
• Strong proficiency with our stack or similar tools, and the ability to learn quickly:
• Frontend: React, Next.js, Tailwind, Shadcn, TanStack Router
• Backend: Python (FastAPI), Postgres, Redis, Dramatiq
• Cloud: Vercel, Render, AWS
• Experience with cloud infrastructure and multi-cloud environments.
• Strong product sense and deep care for user and developer experience.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills in small, high-performance teams.

Bonus Points:
