We're Creative Fabrica, a fast-scaling tech start-up from Amsterdam.

Our mission

Enable creativity by giving access to everything related to the creative process: inspiration, learning, creating, and sharing. The ‘Creative Inspiration Flywheel’

This creates a self-sustaining community that lives within the Creative Fabrica ecosystem.

About the platform

We launched in 2016 as a marketplace for fonts with a subscription service. In the last 8 years, we have been through tremendous growth, and we're just getting started!

We have scaled to 50 million+ monthly page views, 8 million+ registrations, over 22 million listed products, and 22000+ active designers.

Our focus is to create a platform for designers that enables them to offer exceptional high-quality content. We make their products searchable in unique ways. This allows our customers to speed up their workflow, allowing them to focus on what they love most: Creating.

About the Team:

Within the Content team, we take care of making sure that any content on our platform (graphics, designs, and the millions of craft assets we offer) and all its related information is easily surfaced to our customers.  We are responsible for content lifecycle management, licensing, search, discoverability and recommendation. We iterate and experiment fast, build on a modern stack, and work in a cross-functional team.

The Role:

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll play a significant role in the development and delivery of products that power up the Creative Fabrica’s growing crafting community. 

What you will do:

  • Build a completely new platform from the ground up to manage the content lifecycle, licensing, and discoverability of over 20 million products. Harness modern data technologies to create advanced, personalized search and recommendation engines.
  • Build and maintain APIs powering up web applications behind Creative Fabrica
  • Take responsibility for component technical designs and deliver quality code.
  • Be an integral part of a Content team, come up with ideas, analyze usage data and build products customers love.

  • Experience developing, deploying and supporting production code for high-volume, low latency Enterprise applications, with preference to SaaS or global ecommerce
  • Proficient Java/ Kotlin, with deep knowledge of JVM, experienced in building highly performant distributed systems using microservices and message-driven architecture.
  • Practical experience of relational and NoSQL databases. Familiarity with search and recommendation engines, and modern graph/vector databases is a big advantage. 
  • Experience with AWS, Kubernetes and cloud data / compute infrastructure in general
  • Experience designing, building and operating microservices and associated APIs
  • Strong understanding and commitment to software development best practices, including code quality standards, modularity/DDD, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations

It would be great if you could also bring:

  • Experience in building high-traffic B2B / B2C products, particularly SaaS and global marketplaces/ecommerce
  • Experience working with large scale search and recommendation engines
  • Experience with gradual rollouts

Our Tech Stack:

I've been using this job search site for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best out there! The clean and easy-to-navigate UI makes the whole job-hunting process so much smoother. Plus, the job postings are always up-to-date, so I never feel like I’m wasting time. The cherry on top is the owner—super kind and always quick to respond. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're on the job hunt!

What I like most about Echo Jobs is how easy it is to use. The platform helps me quickly find jobs that match my skills and interests, thanks to its great recommendations and filters. Yes, I would definitely recommend Echo Jobs to a friend. It makes job searching simple and efficient, making it a great tool for anyone looking for a new job.

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Best wishes with EchoJobs—it's become my favorite job board overnight!

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
