About the role
About Storyous:
12 years ago, Storyous started as a small start-up that supplied cafes and restaurants with the Point of Sale (POS) system on a wooden stand. We are currently a best-in-class solution and a market leader in Czechia with a product offering that includes, POS, Menu and Table management, Inventory management, User management & Access controls, and Delivery integrations! In 2021, we teamed up with international fintech start-up Teya (formerly SaltPay), expanding our offering to also provide integrated payments solution to our customers. We continue our mission - to help entrepreneurs focus on their customers and satisfaction.
What will you do:
You will work with a diverse team to help shape the future of our Product and Engineering solution. You will be part of the whole product development lifecycle, with direct access to a wealth of customer feedback.
Your primary focus will be on our Android-based mobile apps, written in Kotlin, used in busy restaurant environments. We value developers who can contribute across the stack – whether it’s building back-end services in Node.js or PHP, working with databases like MongoDB and MariaDB, or helping integrate APIs and tools that make our platform more powerful and cohesive. As such you will be expected to contribute to end-to-end development of features.
You’ll collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver end-to-end features that are well-integrated and user-focused. You’ll take part in the full development lifecycle and benefit from fast feedback loops, continuous delivery, and a strong emphasis on product quality and maintainability.
On a regular day as a Software Engineer, you will:
Focus on delivering software components and improvements to your team’s software. In addition to new code, this often includes refactoring and deprecation work.
Write clean, secure, and well-tested code to solve business problems.
Build tools and integrate systems to scale the effectiveness of products across the business.
Collaborate and communicate effectively within the team and across the organization to achieve the team’s goals.
Continuously work to improve while being empathetic and considerate with others.
Act as a full life cycle Software Engineer, meaning be able to do code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing and release.

Understanding of app performance, memory management, and debugging/profiling tools
Ability to work independently on medium-sized features from ticket to release, estimate work realistically, and mentor juniors through code review
Experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor) as part of your daily workflow, with sound judgment about reviewing and validating AI-generated code
Strong communication skills, including with non-technical stakeholders
Fluent written and spoken English — English is the primary language of our international team, used daily in meetings, documentation, and code review
Advantage:
Experience with back-end development (Node.js, PHP or similar)
Experience with relational and/or non-relational databases (e.g., MariaDB, MongoDB)
Basic cloud/infrastructure experience with Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, etc.
