Job description
At Mito Digital, our mission is to design and deliver human-centered, best-in-class digital solutions. For over a decade, we’ve partnered with enterprises worldwide in telco, lottery, e-commerce, and aviation. We take pride in our work—and have a lot of fun along the way. But let’s be honest, can you ever have too much pride and fun?
Our aviation team is already soaring high, developing cutting-edge solutions for our inspiring client. Now, we’re looking for a Backend Developer to help us climb even higher.
Your Mission
As part of our crew, you’ll build and maintain high-performance APIs, optimize cloud-based systems, and ensure everything runs as smoothly as a well-planned flight schedule. You’ll collaborate with developers, designers, and industry experts to solve complex challenges and deliver scalable, future-proof solutions.
If you’re ready to work on projects that impact millions of travelers worldwide—without the jet lag—then fasten your seatbelt and prepare for takeoff!
What You’ll Be Doing
- Own the entire development lifecycle—discuss requirements with stakeholders, implement solutions, and operate services in production.
- Build and maintain highly scalable, turbulence-resistant APIs.
- Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code that won’t make future-you (or your teammates) cry.
- Apply observability best practices—monitor, debug, and optimize applications like a true backend whisperer.
- Work independently but collaborate when needed—no lone wolves, just a solid team.
- Stay business-focused—prioritize what actually delivers value, not just what looks cool in the codebase.
- Adapt to challenges with flexibility, a problem-solving mindset, and a good sense of humor—because sometimes turbulence is inevitable, but panic isn’t.
What You Bring
- Solid backend development experience—you’re no stranger to building and navigating highly scalable backend services.
- A solid grasp of full web application development—from request to response and everything in between.
- A responsible, open, and proactive approach to problem-solving—if something breaks, you don’t just reboot and hope for the best.
- Familiarity with observability best practices (logging, monitoring, tracing)—because flying blind isn’t fun.
- The ability to focus on what matters—understanding business needs and delivering real impact, not just writing fancy code for the sake of it.
- Excellent communication skills in English and fluent Hungarian.
We’d be extra happy if you…
- …have experience with Node.js and TypeScript—these would be the cherry on top of your already solid backend skills.
What We Offer
Hybrid Work & Flexibility: We work in a hybrid setup with no mandatory office days – you’re free to work from home whenever it suits you. Each team finds its own rhythm: some enjoy meeting 2–3 times a week, others come in just 1–2 times a month. When we do gather, our cozy downtown Budapest office offers a relaxed, welcoming vibe – with unlimited coffee, fresh fruit and veggies to keep you fueled.
Dog-Friendly Office: Bring your four-legged friend along—we love dogs in the office, and they’re always welcome as part of the team!
Work from Abroad: Need a change of scenery? You can work remotely from abroad for a limited time each year—or escape to the Hungarian countryside or Lake Balaton for a peaceful workweek close to nature.
Cutting-Edge Tools & Setup: You get to choose the gear that works best for you—Mac or Windows, it’s your call. We also provide extra monitors to support a smooth, ergonomic workflow if you need them.
Meaningful Projects, Global Impact: Work with diverse teams on international projects that shape travel, tech, and creative communication across the globe.
Smooth Onboarding & Dedicated Support: Start strong with a structured onboarding plan and a personal buddy to guide you through your first weeks.
Continuous Learning & Growth: Coaching, training, conferences, and mentoring—plus clear career paths and internal opportunities to gain new skills and take the next step in your journey.
Extra Time Off: Our “Level Up” program rewards your loyalty with additional paid vacation days as your journey with us continues.
Team Spirit & Shared Experiences: From local and international team buildings to seasonal parties and creative internal events, you’ll find community and connection.
Health & Lifestyle Benefits: Enjoy a yearly personal budget for sports, education, or commuting. You’ll also have access to comprehensive annual preventive health screenings.
Family-Friendly Environment: We support working parents with initiatives like our in-house kids’ day camp—a fun, week-long program to keep your little ones engaged during school breaks.
