Wait a minute.
Deep inside you are looking for a new adventure with…
🗽Freedom : feeling free to work remotely or hybrid and being trusted to deliver
🔥Ambition : growing up surrounded by smart colleagues driven to create something big
😍Impact : contributing to transform people lives at scale
And you deserve it because you are truly passionate about Automations, AI and Development :
Out of the box thinker
Obsessed Problem Solver
Detail Oriented and impressively fast
Automation Addict
You will build internal tools, experiments, and systems that help the company iterate faster every single week.
To scale, we don’t rely on guesswork, we rely on data, A/B testing, and rapid product iteration, powered by engineering and AI.
Nothing beats the moment when an experiment clearly proves what works and what doesn’t.
When teams can move faster because of what you built, that’s where your impact shows. Your code is a force multiplier for everyone in the company.
This is a full-time position, carried out from our beautiful offices in Dubai, Lisbon or full-remote from anywhere in the world.
-----------------------------------------
At Paradox, we are convinced that greatness is trainable.
That’s why we want to empower people at scale, by leveraging cutting edge technologies like AI, and crafting user experiences with outstanding aesthetics.
We do that by merging :
- Human Intelligence (coaches, peers, and mentors)
- Structured Intelligence (protocols, mental models, rituals),
- Technological Intelligence (AI personalization, feedback loops, adaptive journeys)
To create one seamless ecosystem: Paradox OS.
We believe self-help is broken.
Most learning platforms are used the same way : consuming generic theories, getting quick highs, ending with no real change.
At Paradox, we believe people deserve more.
More than content. More than motivation.
They deserve a system that knows them, one that adapts, challenges, and grows with them.
At Paradox, learning = transformation.
We believe that technology can do more than entertain or save time. It can translate insight into transformation, through AI personalization, lean experimentation, and deep psychological understanding.
Because learning shouldn’t just make you feel inspired for a day, it should change how you live, think, and create.
At Paradox, we want to re-invent how people grow.
We do not build another course or coaching app but the Operating System for Greatness.
Founded by David Laroche, a creator followed by over 2 million people and known for his interviews with icons like Tony Parker, Mike Horn, Richard Branson, and Gad Elmaleh, Paradox aims to build something that will live beyond any individual (including its founder), for decades to come.
Our ambition is to compete with players like Mindvalley (150M ARR), but with a sharper vision, grounded protocols for achievers, people who want more for their life, refusing mediocrity.
To do that, we bring together designers, tech, coaches, and filmmakers to create learning experiences that are cinematic, precise, and effective.
We move fast, aim high, and hold ourselves to the standards of Apple, Spotify, and MasterClass. No fluff, focused on meaningful impact.
Get obsessed with transforming our clients’ lives, treat it like a science, build, measure, improve
and let those transformations be our marketing.
While others hide their numbers, we want to let our results speak loudly for us.

Your mission: build, ship, and iterate on tools and systems that turn complex business needs into scalable solutions. You develop data-driven solutions, from internal tools to experimentation pipelines, enabling fast iteration, clear insights, and continuous improvement across the company.
1. Design and Build Scalable Automations
Design and develop internal tools, services, and integrations using modern full-stack technologies, automation platforms (n8n, Make.com, Zapier), and custom code
Build robust, production-ready workflows with complex business logic, data transformations, and reliable error handling
Own the full development lifecycle from identifying opportunities and designing solutions to shipping, monitoring, and continuously improving them
2. Build & Own Product Integrations and Internal Services
Design and implement API-driven integrations (REST, Webhooks, OAuth, GraphQL) to connect products, data, and business workflows — even when no off-the-shelf solution exists
Build, deploy, and maintain internal tools, dashboards, and services — choosing between open-source, self-hosted solutions, or custom development based on impact and speed
Create lightweight backend services and APIs that bridge gaps between no-code tools and production systems, enabling faster experimentation and iteration
3. Data Architecture & Ops Systems
Design robust data structures in PostgreSQL, Notion, or relational DBs
Structure operational systems that scale with the team’s growth
Manage Custom APP to to aggregate and highlights important KPIs
4. Workflow Optimization & Reliability
Troubleshoot issues, fix bugs, and improve existing automations
Ensure error handling, monitoring, and graceful failure mechanisms
Refactor systems when needed to support scale or new use cases

You’re a rigorous builder who thinks about edge cases, uptime, and error logs
You enjoy working cross-functionally with non-technical teams and bringing clarity through documentation
You thrive on autonomy, problem-solving, and always push to make things cleaner, faster, smarter
Drive & Problem Solver : You’re ambitious, You work hard because you love it, you own things and get them done
Analytical Mind : you challenge your assumptions, able to quickly identify and formulate problems, and support your analysis with data
