All Iron Ventures | Tech Lead/Senior Full-Stack Engineer | REMOTE (Europe / Middle East / Africa) with 2 days each month in Spain | Full-Time

All Iron is a European early stage venture capital firm based in Bilbao. With ~€300M under management, we invest in Seed and Series A startups across Europe. So far, we have invested in 50+ companies including success stories like JobandTalent, Seedtag, TuLotero or Preply amongst others and our graduation rates place us in the industry’s top quartile.

Venture investing is no longer a domestic and (only) relationship-based business. Modernising how venture firms work is a key competitive advantage, that here at All Iron sits at the core of how we do things. We are building our very own tool, Pareto, which is becoming the most relevant platform for the investment team’s day to day. In the last twelve months, Pareto has allowed us to gain a competitive advantage in a very competitive market by both saving time and identifying interesting companies ahead of our peers.

If you are passionate about building product to significantly improve how we run our day to day, using large amounts of data (to identify interesting companies to potentially invest in) and want to join an entrepreneurial firm, you will not be disappointed!

What are we looking for:

* 3+ years experience as a Data Engineer or Full-stack Engineer

* Someone who is a self-starter, scrappy, and pragmatic

* Experience in Google cloud, Django, JavaScript / TypeScript with React, SQL and Spark

* Experience as a tech lead or an Engineering manager is a plus: we have an external team of engineers whom you’ll be working closely with

* Experience working at a small startup and/or as a solo engineer is a plus

* Ability to travel to Bilbao (Spain) ~2 days each month is a must

If you are interested and would like to join us, please send your CV to hr_aiv@alliron.com, and include a short essay (1 page max) stating why you are interested in this position, how it relates to your previous experience, and why you think you can contribute great value. Please mention you saw this through Hacker News.




Sounds like a good opportunity but with 2 days mandatory in Bilbao every month you might as well limit it to Spain and Portugal only.

Or do you have teammates who are flying in every month from Africa/Middle east/Central Europe?


2 days a month isn't a big deal at all. I'm in the UK, and regularly travel anything from 2 to 8 days a month to a role in Germany and the Netherlands.


Fair enough. Would be a hard sell to spend 1/4 of my time away from family though.

If I may ask do you pay for the travel or do you get reimbursed by your employer?


I can't imagine any scenario where a company is requiring monthly travel and not reimbursing for it.

And even assuming 1 full travel day on either side, 4 days a month is a LOT less than 1/4.


I think you missed the point, it's about distances, and logistics, not days. Flying from UK to NL/DE doesn't sound particularly impressive: relatively short, non-hostile checks, accessible airports, wide selection of flights. Actually, it's more or less equivalent to getting to Bilbao from Iberian peninsula area.


Seconded. They should at least specify North Africa. It's a big continent, you won't catch me dead flying from South Africa 12 hours up once a month for only two days.


Why should they specify anything? That you are not willing, it's ok. However, I know of people from California doing this on a monthly basis (traveling over Europe). For some people it's ok.
