About Spott
Spott is a YC-backed AI startup with its office in Leuven, Belgium. We are on a mission to transform the recruitment industry, by making recruiting faster, smarter and more efficient. Together, we’re building the first AI-native recruitment platform (ATS & CRM) that empowers professional recruiters to close more placements and help everyone find the right job more easily.
Why?
Recruitment is an $700B+ industry still running on outdated methods. The biggest players are slow to innovate. Spott isn’t a tool that will be added to legacy software, it is a full reset. We are the system of record, context and action. AI-driven, fast, scalable, and personal. And we’re here to take over.
What We’re Looking For
To help us achieve our mission we’re looking for a Backend Software engineer. We are product-obsessed. Everything we create needs to be better than any existing version of it on the market - and you will play a pivotal role in ensuring that standard is upheld.
✔️ You have a Master’s degree in IT/Computer Science/Software Engineering.
✔️ Passion for solving complex technical challenges and designing scalable software solutions. You understand technical tradeoffs and make pragmatic decisions.
✔️ Experience building AI-driven applications (e.g. prompt engineering and/or fine-tuning experience are a plus).
✔️ A growth mindset - eager to learn, experiment, and expand your knowledge.
What You’ll Do
✔️ You'll be focused on back-end development of our recruitment platform, working mainly with Typescript and Node.js.
✔️ You’ll work on core product features and Backend code improvements, ensuring all systems can support the growth of our customer base.
✔️ Take part in product refinement, brainstorming, prioritization sessions and impact both WHAT and HOW we build.
✔️ Work in a supportive, open, and fast-moving environment where you can learn and grow quickly.
What We Offer
✔️ Competitive salary and generous stock options.
✔️ An exciting opportunity to work with the latest technologies and AI models on challenging problems, from a technical and business logic perspective.
✔️ A role where you can learn from 10x engineers and become one yourself.
✔️ A flexible work environment that accommodates your needs with flexible hours and hybrid working - we aim for at least 3 days per week in the office.
✔️ Great team vibe with regular dinners, sports activities and international offsites.
✔️ The chance to grow with us and achieve your career aspirations.
Spott is the first AI-native ATS/CRM for recruiting & staffing firms. We built Spott because existing recruitment platforms require extensive manual work, are clunky to use, rely on fragmented add-ons, and are not designed for AI adoption.
Spott combines everything recruiting firms need, from a full ATS & CRM to AI agents across the entire workflow, into one AI-native solution. It enables recruiters to focus on what matters most and close more placements.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
