We're Creative Fabrica, a fast-scaling tech start-up from Amsterdam.
Our mission
Enable creativity by giving access to everything related to the creative process: inspiration, learning, creating, and sharing. The ‘Creative Inspiration Flywheel’
This creates a self-sustaining community that lives within the Creative Fabrica ecosystem.
About the platform
We launched in 2016 as a marketplace for fonts with a subscription service. In the last 8 years, we have been through tremendous growth, and we're just getting started!
We have scaled to 50 million+ monthly page views, 8 million+ registrations, over 22 million listed products, and 22000+ active designers.
Our focus is to create a platform for designers that enables them to offer exceptional high-quality content. We make their products searchable in unique ways. This allows our customers to speed up their workflow, allowing them to focus on what they love most: Creating.
About the team:
The Platform teams are focused on the Creative Fabrica infrastructure and foundational software components. That includes SRE and dev experience, core domain services (foundational entities like identity management, authentication, authorization, sessions management, etc), and the content domain (management of lifecycle of all content items in the system). This is the foundation used by multiple feature teams at CF to build the end-user facing functionality and accelerate value delivery.
What you will do:
As a senior member of our tech team in Amsterdam, and together with fellow developers, engineers, designers, and product managers, you will contribute to the development of innovative solutions that cater to the requirements of our expanding user community. This empowers users to maximize the benefits derived from our products and services. Additionally, you will have the responsibility of designing and implementing systems that interact with our continuously evolving AI-powered platform, ensuring that what you deliver is scalable, reliable, and secure.

Oh, and having excellent communication skills to influence up the management chain definitely helps here too!
