Vish is a B2B SaaS company transforming the business of beauty, and we don't sound like a typical software company. Our platform and smart Bluetooth scale help salons eliminate colour waste, manage inventory, grow service revenue, and understand their colour business in a way they never could before. We're defining a category as we scale across five countries, and our ambition is to reshape supply chain management for the entire hair colour industry.
We're a distributed engineering team that cares deeply about building things well. We're opinionated about functional programming, and we're proud that the work we do helps small businesses thrive while cutting real environmental waste.

The Impact You Will Have
As a Senior Scala Engineer, you'll be a core contributor to the backend that powers Vish. You'll take ambiguous, high-level requirements and turn them into well-designed, modular, production-grade systems. You'll set a high bar for engineering craft, through the code you write,
the reviews you give, and the people you mentor, and help shape the architecture as Vish grows.
This is a hands‑on senior role for someone who leads by showing more than telling, and who genuinely enjoys functional programming done properly.
What You Will Do
Build and design
- Clarify vague or ill-posed requirements and turn them into a concrete implementation plan, decomposing scope into well-defined sub-components
- Design interfaces and EDSLs, and write clean, modular, extensible code
- Refactor existing code to make it more extensible and maintainable
- Work across our functional stack, including ZIO, Cats, Cats Effect, Doobie, ScalaCheck, and Akka
Raise the engineering bar
- Review merge requests and give thoughtful feedback, as review comments, written notes, or code patches, and approve them when they're ready
