About Breeze

At Breeze were building towards a future where people spend less time on their phones and more time connecting in real life.

The Breeze app is the dating app for real dates. Weve built the worlds first service that organises actual offline dates at scale. On Breeze users skip the online chat once you match you pick a time and we organise a real-life date at one of our partner venues. We handle the reservation. We pick the place. You just show up.

Weve organised over 650000 dates and are a top 5 dating app in the Netherlands Belgium and the UK. With rapid expansion across Europe and the US underway.

About the role

The date itself is the core of Breeze and that experience depends on our partnered venues and support team. You will own the products that power both as well as the user-facing features that connect them.

Concretely you would:

• Own the partner portal & reservation systems end-to-end: every date needs a table. Youll build and maintain the Golang backend that powers our reservation logic and third-party integrations as well as the partner portal (currently in ) where partners manage availability review bookings read user feedback and apply to host events. This includes automation agents and booking flows that reserve directly on partner websites when no API exists and systems that keep availability in sync with what partners actually have.

• Build support interfaces for agent-assisted workflows: design tools for a high-volume time-sensitive support environment covering user messages approvals ban objections cancellations manual reservation fixes and data requests. Youll evolve these workflows toward a human-in-the-loop model where AI agents propose actions and support staff validate them through clear structured interfaces.

• Drive in-app improvements around the date experience: ship features that allow users to resolve issues without contacting support such as payment flows refunds safety tooling and self-service actions around cancellations or date changes. Youll collaborate closely with our Flutter engineers owning the API side and make small contributions on the app side.

• Strengthen backend infrastructure: contribute to Breeze-wide backend improvements as part of the Data & Tech guild including observability API design and code quality.
  

About you

• Strong backend engineer: You have solid production-grade experience in Golang (and Python). You know how to design reliable systems think through failure modes and write code that others can maintain. Youve built things that run in production at real scale.

• Full-stack capable (backend-first): You can build and maintain web interfaces using JavaScript frameworks (or similar languages) well enough to own the dashboards youre responsible for. You care about the experience of the people using your tools even if frontend isnt your primary craft.

• Ownership mindset: You define your own priorities move fast and take full responsibility for the systems you own including when things go wrong. You dont wait to be told what to do next.

• AI and agentic experience: Youve built or integrated AI-powered automations: using LLM APIs autonomous agents browser bots and similar workflows reliably in production systems. Were looking for someone who feels at home in that environment and can contribute immediately. Experience with cloud-based agentic coding workflows is a strong plus.

• Systems thinker: You can reason about how components interact where things will break and how to design for reliability from the start not bolt it on after the fact.

• Clear communicator: You flag risks early make technical decisions legible to non-engineers and keep operations and support informed without being asked.

• Mission-aligned: Youre excited about using technology to get people offline and into real conversations with real people.
