Senior Full Stack Developer

🌍 Uniplaces: Building a Trusted Global Brand for Students

At Uniplaces, we are building one of the largest mid- and long-term rental platforms in Europe, connecting thousands of landlords and tenants across multiple countries. Every feature we build has a direct impact on people moving abroad, starting a new chapter of their lives, and finding a place to call home.

About the Product Team

We’re a technology-driven startup, and our online platform is at the heart of everything we do. It’s how we deliver the best possible experience to both students and landlords. That’s why the Product Team is absolutely core to Uniplaces’ success.

Our engineering culture is built on high-quality architecture, domain-driven design, and long-term technical thinking. We believe great managers stay close to the code, lead by example, and empower teams to make sound technical decisions.

The Product Team brings together engineers, product designers, and product managers who work closely to turn ambitious ideas into reality. Collaboration is central to how we operate: everyone has a voice, whether you’re working with code, data, scripts, or infrastructure.
