Aposto was born as an antidote to the unbearable noise and misinformation on the internet. We believe that everyone should have a right to be informed about the world in an unbiased and clear way. Following the news and culture and complex opinions can be actually simple, concise, enlightening, enriching, and engaging.
We are built on a journalistic culture that conveys topics shaping Türkiye and the world in a reliable, in-depth, and efficient manner, free from any hidden or open political agenda.
We are on a mission to build a fresh, dynamic, captivating information landscape in Türkiye and Europe.
We are a media company that was born in the intersection of technology, journalism and publishing.

About the team
We are a relatively small team based in Istanbul seeking motivated back-end developers/engineers to work with us remotely and/or in-office. Our work ethos embraces flexibility, offering the freedom to work asynchronously with occasional sync-ups as needed. We are committed to ethical software development and we strive to accomplish our goals with integrity and quality in mind.

If you are a skilled back-end developer who values our ethos, we'd be excited to have you join us.

You will be responsible to:

    • Design, build, and deploy the back-end services that power our front-end applications
    • Iterate over already deployed services to improve security, scalability, and performance
    • Document architectural decisions as they come up
    • Collaborate with the rest of the development team to implement new services

You'd be a better fit for us if you have:

    • Considerable amount of experience building back-end web applications, preferably microservices
    • Experience developing web applications using Node.js, Express, NestJS, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, and gRPC
    • Experience training and/or deploying ML models
    • Mindset to own problems personally and work on their solutions from start to finish
    • Willingness to keep track of your own progress whether it be achievements or failures and report them weekly




Join the band.
