Who we are
At City Storage Systems, we're building Infrastructure for Better Food. We help restaurateurs around the world succeed in online food delivery. Our goal is to make food more affordable, higher quality and convenient for everyone. We're changing the game for restaurateurs, whether they’re entrepreneurs opening their first restaurant all the way through to your favorite global quick-service restaurant chains.
What You'll do
- Architect for Scale: Design and develop microservices that can handle thousands of transactions per second—with resiliency, observability, and maintainability baked in.
- Own the Core: Lead backend architecture decisions and push the limits of performance, scalability, and fault tolerance across the platform.
- Craft Clean APIs: Build well-documented, high-performance APIs to serve everything from real-time kitchen operations to third-party integrations.
- Powerful Data Flows: Work with relational and NoSQL databases to design data models that are scalable, consistent, and fast.
- Test + Ship + Repeat: Write clean, testable code and improve CI/CD pipelines to ship confidently and frequently.
- Collaborate at Velocity: Partner with product, design, and frontend engineering to shape the roadmap and deliver features with tangible business impact.
What we're looking for
- 7–10 years of hands-on backend development experience in high-growth or high-performance environments.
- Deep knowledge of at least one modern backend language: Java, Kotlin, Golang, C++, or C#.
- Proven experience building microservices and event-driven systems at scale.
- Comfortable working in a cloud-native stack (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Strong grasp of system design, concurrency, and distributed systems.
- Familiar with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and agile development practices.
- Bonus if you’ve worked with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, or message queues like Kafka or RabbitMQ.
Nice to Haves:
- Previous experience in real estate tech, food logistics, or marketplace platforms.
- Leadership experience or a passion for mentoring junior engineers.
- Knowledge of secure coding practices and scalable architecture patterns.
Why Join us
- Growing market: You’ll be focused on an $80 billion market that’s projected to reach at least $500 billion by 2030 in the US alone.
- Changing the restaurant industry: You’ll be part of a team that helps restaurants succeed in online food delivery.
- Collaborative environment: You will receive support and guidance from experienced colleagues and managers, helping you to learn, grow and achieve your goals, and you’ll work closely with other teams to ensure our customer’s success.
What else you need to know
This role is based in our Aarhus office location. We believe that people do their best work when they are together. As a company, we’re in the marketplace of ideas and innovation. When you’re constantly innovating, changing how an industry works, inventing new products and processes - and we are doing all these things - we believe we’re better as a team in-person. That’s why all of our teams (except for our field-based roles) are now working from one of our office locations 5 days a week. Looking forward to sharing more about a Career of Substance at CSS.
Ready to join us as we serve those who serve others?
