Backend Software Engineer

As a Back-End Software Engineer at Scoro, you’ll join one of our Software Engineering teams in Tallinn or Riga and help build and evolve a globally used work management product.

In this role, you’ll focus on backend development (PHP, Go, or TypeScript), work with complex systems and data, and solve technical challenges that have a real impact on how teams use Scoro. You’ll collaborate closely with other engineers, product managers, and designers, and take ownership of your work throughout the development lifecycle.

To succeed in this role, you’ll need solid technical skills, a proactive mindset, and experience with AI-assisted development tools. We value clean code, curiosity, and teamwork. Full-stack experience, including work with modern frontend technologies like Vue.js or React, is a big plus.

If this sounds like you, send your application in English. We don’t have a set deadline and will start reviewing candidates right away.
