Software Engineer

Spond is a product-driven tech company that simplifies life for sports teams, clubs, and volunteers. By streamlining administration, payments and communication, our platform takes the heavy lifting out of grassroots sports.

Today we support over 4 million monthly active users globally and are driving strong traction in markets such as the UK, France, Norway, and Germany.

We consistently rank at the top of the App Store's sports category and are highly valued by our community, with a Net Promoter Score of 76, outperforming services like Netflix, Airbnb and Uber.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll be a vital part of one of the product domain teams, and help build robust, scalable, and secure systems used by millions of users.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you take ownership from design through to production to scaling. You'll work with feature rich product backed by a fleet microservices in Java and Go and ensure smooth integration between backend services and modern frontend applications built with React and TypeScript.

What we look for

• Strong backend expertise; roughly 3–5 years of development experience is a useful reference, but we care more about how quickly you've grown and how clearly you think than about exact tenure or the names on your CV

• Experience with Java and/or Go

• Solid understanding of API design and JSON

• Experience with React and TypeScript

• Experience with scaling high-load systems

• Someone who ships. We pay attention to what people actually build and deliver, not just how well they present in a room

• Someone who thrives on responsibility and takes ownership of both code and delivery

• A team player who wants to contribute to an inclusive and diverse engineering culture

• Fluency in English is essential (understanding Norwegian is a plus but not mandatory)

How we hire

We'd rather take our time and get this right than rush to fill the seat. Our bar is simple: each person who joins should make the team stronger than it was the day before. We prioritize potential over credentials. A person who is growing quickly and thinking clearly often outperforms someone with more experience and prestigious logos on their resume.

• Developing and enhancing backend services in Java and/or Go

• Designing and maintaining robust APIs (JSON-based integrations)

• Contributing to frontend development in React and JavaScript

• Building solutions closely tied to payment flows and transaction logic
