Who we are

Friendly Captcha offers bot protection which is privacy-friendly and does not require the user
to perform tasks such as clicking images of cars, making it accessible to all humans.

Bootstrapped
Founded in 2020, Friendly Captcha is a fully bootstrapped, profitable, growing business. We are
a mission-driven business first, and a fast-growth startup second. We don't have the
distracting goal of pleasing investors.

Vision
A safe internet accessible for all humans.

Human-first
We aim for sustainability, with a healthy work-life balance. We design our company to be
around in 5 years.

What we offer

A place in a bootstrapped, mission-driven business that doesn't have the distracting goal of pleasing investors. We get to design the business how we want it to be.
A high-impact product that protects our customers’ internet presence, which is making the internet more human friendly. Together we have an impact we can be proud of.
A small and effective team looking to grow and make a big difference, by being focused. We rather aim for a smaller team that is great, than a bigger team that is good.
A place to grow personally and professionally.
A testing ground to try and change things – we like to move fast and value iteration.
An office in Munich West / Woerthsee surrounded by nature and close to a beautiful lake with good connections.
A competitive salary.
Plus: Italian barista coffee, public transport ticket, a work MacBook, regular team events spread across Europe, and more.

Your profile

At Friendly Captcha we're looking for a versatile software engineer to join our team. There is a
lot of opportunity for ownership throughout our stack: from integrations and SDKs, to DevOps,
to our core product and the customer experience.

The engineering team is remote across Europe, consisting of 7 people. We're looking to grow
the engineering team by one or two new team members over the next months.
You can work remotely from anywhere, or you can work from our office near Munich (some
days of the week).

Freedom and Trust
We aim for sustainability, with a healthy work-life balance. We believe that creative and
talented individuals are self-organizing - you get the freedom to shape your work and time how
you work best.

Our stack
Some key technologies in our stack are Go, Typescript, Postgres, Clickhouse, Redis,
Terraform, and OpenTelemetry.

We see engineering as a way to build a great product, not as a goal in itself. We expect you to
already be productive in Go.

Unique for our company that we offer an entirely EU-owned stack (so no AWS here). This is a
big selling point for governments and EU companies.

Opportunity
Roles grow and evolve, especially in young companies. We look for those who enjoy learning
new things and are not afraid to take ownership as they grow with the company.
