🍿 We are Popcorn

Global connectivity, minus the roaming fees. We're rethinking how people stay connected without the hassle and limitations of traditional telcos.
A telco built for tomorrow. Software-first and AI-native, designed to feel modern and harness the latest in Earth and space tech.
Momentum speaks volumes. With thousands on our waitlist and a live alpha, we’re seeing extraordinary traction and growth.
Experienced team with bold ambitions. Our team previously scaled a consumer app to 50,000 users and is ready to go much further.

Join us as a Backend Engineer where you’ll be at the heart of designing and building our backend services using NestJS, and GraphQL.
You’ll own the entire development lifecycle—from concept and architecture to deployment and iteration—and help drive our commitment to automation and CI/CD best practices.
Over time, we’ll expand the team around you, giving you a chance to grow into a leadership role.
If you love seeing your work power magical user experiences (and don’t mind occasionally diving into animations), this is the role for you!

3+ years of Node.js engineering experience: You’ve tackled complex problems and delivered robust backend solutions.
Infrastructure chops: You’re comfortable with AWS and Terraform, and you have a knack for designing and maintaining scalable services.
Database expertise: You’re no stranger to PostgreSQL (or similar RDBMS) and can optimize queries efficiently.
Microservices & Security: You understand the core concepts of microservices architecture and prioritize secure development practices.
Automation mindset: You have familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and actively seek ways to streamline and automate processes.
Curiosity & adaptability: You love exploring new technologies, frameworks, and tools—stepping into the unknown doesn’t scare you.
