Full-Stack Engineer

🌍 About Qatium

Qatium is the AI Water Platform for utility operations. We help utilities visualise their networks, simulate decisions, and optimise performance — tackling one of the world’s most urgent challenges: up to 50% of clean water is lost before it reaches the tap.

By bringing network data, modelling and operational insights into an intuitive digital environment, Qatium helps more people across a utility understand what is happening in their network and make better-informed decisions.

Today, Qatium works with utilities across 17 countries and 6 continents, helping water teams at different levels of digital maturity improve how they understand and manage their networks. 💧

• Backend development: Solid experience with at least one backend language, such as Python, Go, or Node.js, including API design and relational databases.

• Production engineering: Hands-on experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, containers, deployment workflows, and application monitoring.

• Ownership & autonomy: A track record of independently delivering features or solving complex technical challenges, even when requirements are not fully defined.

• Engineering judgement: Ability to balance speed, simplicity, security, performance, and long-term maintainability.

• Product mindset: Genuine interest in understanding user problems and delivering solutions that create real customer value.

• English proficiency: Strong written and spoken English, comfortable working in an international team.
  

It's a plus if you have

• Experience with cloud environments such as AWS or Azure, Kubernetes, or GitOps.

• Familiarity with event-driven architectures and messaging systems such as NATS, Kafka, or Pub/Sub.
