AREO | Remote (EU) | Full-Time | Equity | Roles: [Engineering Manager (Ruby on Rails), Lead Product Engineer (Ruby on Rails), Senior Android Developer]

My name is Marius and I am the CTO at AREO (https://goareo.com/).

AREO, founded in January 2023 by a team with 20+ years of combined experience in retail and startups, is a young startup specializing in developing innovative solutions for supermarkets and grocery retail stores. Our cutting-edge B2B SaaS platform optimizes workflows for employees by providing real-time access to inventory, product information, and customer inquiries. We serve large supermarket chains in Germany and across the EU.

About a year ago we brought a backend developer on board through "HN - Who is hiring" and are now seeking a Lead Product Engineer / Engineering Manager and a Senior Android Developer with a minimum of 8 years of experience (preferably in startups) as we just closed another 1M+ ARR contract with a major retail chain and are growing quickly.

For the Product Engineer / Engineering Manager (but not the Android Developer) role professional knowledge of German is highly preferred.

If you're passionate about building innovative retail products from scratch, these roles are for you.

Backend Stack: Ruby / Rails (8.x), StimulusJS / Hotwire / Turbo, AlpineJS, Postgres, Docker, DigitalOcean, OpenAPI, LLMs

Mobile Stack: Kotlin, Room, Jetpack Compose, Hilt Perks: Fully remote roles (Europe), work where you are most productive, sizeable equity in a rapidly growing company, flat hierarchies, no-ego work environment, work in a lean but highly experienced team

@Mario - I looked for contact details in your profile but did not find any. We are currently hiring senior Rails engineers, fully remote in Europe (see an older job ad here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42923191 EDIT and a current one here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46466732).

Please feel free to reach out, and then we can see if there is a good match.


Thanks Marius! Here's my contact details

Can someone explain why this is downvoted. Just curious


I noticed that this particular job ad has been posted here third time in a row.

Also, post author comments from multiple accounts, claims to be the CTO for two companies, but also refuses to hire engineers working at two companies[1]. Technically nothing wrong with that, but also a bit funny.

> I noticed that this particular job ad has been posted here third time in a row.

Initially, we were looking to hire - 1x Lead Product Engineer - 1x Technical Product Manager - 1x Senior Full-Stack Developer

We found a Senior Full-Stack Developer through HN - Who is hiring?, so this role has been filled. We paused hiring for the TPM role, so this one is no longer listed. However, we are still hiring for the Lead Product Engineer role and are now looking to expand the mobile team, which is why I posted a slightly different version of the job ad again.

I don't see why it would be an issue to post again if we are still hiring for another role.


I also wouldn’t say hiring for a different role would be an issue.

But, like you say, you are also still hiring for the same role or you announce a role and pause hiring. I’d improve these processes instead.


The job ad lists two jobs:

- Lead Product Engineer

- Senior Android Developer

We are actively interviewing and hiring for both roles, so I am not sure what exactly your issue is.

quick question: Your name is Marius and you're hiring for this startup and archiehub? (a few posts up). What's your relationship to both of these companies?


That is correct - we are currently hiring for AREO and Archie. I am the CTO of both companies.


I do not mean this sarcastically or facetiously, but genuinely: would you be ok with a high performing engineer that had another SWE job? I know a couple people potentially interested if so


I don't think that this would work as we are generally looking for people with 30-40 hours of availability per week.

Hi, my name is Marius and I am the CTO at AREO (https://www.goareo.com - placeholder because we are still in stealth).

For the mobile devs familiarity with AR apps, AR frameworks (AR Foundation, ARCore, ARKit) and AR glasses is a big plus. For both roles being able to understand at least a bit of German would come in handy but is not a must-have :) However, you have to be located in the EU.

Mobile Stack: Kotlin, Room, Jetpack Compose, ARCore, Hilt
