We're Happy Scribe, a 100% bootstrapped and profitable startup based in Barcelona, on a mission to make the internet accessible.
We offer transcription and subtitling services that combine AI with the expertise of language professionals to create a 5-star product.
We're working on one of the fundamental problems of this decade: speech-to-text technology.
We're 28 people at the moment, but growing fast and profitable (€6.5M ARR) and we're building the team thoughtfully and with a lot of care.
For decades transcription at scale has been almost impossible, now with the advancement of ASR technology we are on the verge of having computers that understand speech better than humans.
Today, almost all the infrastructure is in place but we'll need remarkable engineering to pull it off.
What will be your mission as an Engineer at Happy Scribe?
Build product features from start to finish.
You'll wear many hats during the creation process while you conceive, design, implement, ship and maintain them — think features to improve the editing experience.
Build the scalable infrastructure needed for the transcription of the future — like identifying coupling and extracting concerns into small and scalable services.
Improve the performance, reliability, and efficiency of our systems — for example finding bottlenecks in the transcription pipeline and optimizing them to reduce overall turnaround time.
Design and implement processes and internal tools with simplicity and productivity in mind — such as a tool to sync valuable user feedback with the internal database.
This might be for you if... You have 2+ years experience as a Software Engineer and you're happy working in a Full Stack role that is about 70% backend and 30% frontend.
You're product focused.
You want to listen to customers, and build the product that will solve their needs.
You care about the business implications of anything you build.
You don't go after the shiny stuff, but see it as a balance of craft, speed, and the bottom line.
You love steep learning curves, and are not afraid to learn about subjects that are outside of the comfort zone.
For example, you can learn most technologies as you go.
You're pragmatic about them, it's about the tools and tradeoffs, not ideologies.
You care about information security and design things with security in mind.
You are excited about our engineering principles.
Or at least curious about them, if they seem very different from what you've been doing in the past.
You're a great mentor, able to share your knowledge and upskill other team members.
Bonus points if you have experience helping a junior engineer stretch their skills and learn fast.
We have a language-agnostic approach to code and believe the best engineers can code in any language.
Our stack is in Ruby on Rails and React, but it's not a requirement that you know how to work with them.
