Product-Minded Developer - Web, Mobile, Backend (Java)
Lisboa
Lisboa, Lisboa, Portugal

TL;DR

We’re building a unified security system platform: web, mobile, backend in Java (open to change)

First customers & funding secured. Hiring a pragmatic,
- minded dev to build with us.

Remote. Salary flexible based on experience.

Security systems that connect… finally.

Hallo/Hello/Olá, and welcome!

Security tech has been stuck in the past, or doesn’t exist yet… we’re fixing that.

Buildings today are full of disconnected: cameras, smoke and fire alarms, video, access, all from different vendors. It’s messy. We make it usable. One app for everything .

Henrik (our founder) built the first prototype after being stuck with security cameras that didn’t even have a mobile app. Bonus marks if you’ve noticed this problem, but no worries if haven’t - as long as you’re ready to step into this world, we’re good.

We now have our first customers, first investment, and are ready to expand in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

About You

We don’t care about degrees or job titles, we care about outcomes.

You’re probably an overacheiving Developer who lives by these kind of principles whether consciously, or just gut instinct.

If you’ve:

Shipped
- grade software (solving a problem for real users)

Built something on the side for fun

Jumped in to help where others didn’t, even if it went unnoticed

…then you’ll fit in here.

What we’re building

We’re working across Web, i
OS, Android (currently both native apps), and sometimes getting close to hardware. Most integrations are via open APIs, but some hardware partners need us to go deeper (and we’re doing that now as we scale).

Our backend is Java for now — but we’re flexible. You’ll be helping shape what comes next.

What you’ll be doing:

Build. Ship. Repeat. It’s a live product. Real users. Iterating weekly.

Connect messy hardware into one clean system. You’ll break down big challenges into manageable pieces.

Work across the stack — design, code, test, deploy. It’s too early in our journey for highly defined roles.

What you bring

Pragmatism. You pick the right tool for the job, not the flashiest one.

Speed. You ship fast, learn fast, and improve as you go.

User focus. You build for real people, not just other devs.

Constructive mindset. You ask smart questions and challenge ideas, respectfully. You can also ‘disagree and commit’ when needed.

Builder energy. You want to create: features, products, and a company.

Logistics

Our dev team is currently in Portugal. You don’t need to relocate, but ideally, you can come to Norway or Portugal a couple of times a year. Time zones matter less than momentum.

We’re hiring now , but if you’re on another project, reach out anyway. The right person is worth waiting for.

How to apply

Still reading? Great, we even got this far without
- dropping AI (unless you count this sentence — which of course, you do, because you’re our kind of dev.

Email robertsz@barricadesystems.com and tell us something useful: could be a link, a note, a repo, or something you’ve built.

We’ll take it from there.
