Mô tả công việc

Build like a founder. Ship like Spartan.

Our customers are scaling fast — and so are we. That’s why we’re looking for a Backend Engineer
to join our world-class team.

At Spartan, we don’t act like vendors. We embed with startups backed by
YC, Pear VC, BlingCap ,a16z, Techstars, and more — partnering with founders and engineers from
Stanford, MIT, Yale, Google, Amazon, Uber, and beyond.
Together, we help launch MVPs in 30 days and scale systems that power billions of requests.

This isn’t “just another backend role.” It’s a chance to work shoulder-to-shoulder with elite builders, solve complex startup challenges, and see your code directly drive companies raising millions on the global stage.

You’ll also be working at the frontier of AI:
70% of our portfolio today is LLM-powered. Our engineers leverage the latest tools like
Cursor, Claude, and Codex
to move faster, write cleaner code, and solve harder problems.
