Pure runs a Django + PostgreSQL backend with a Swift iOS client, now transitioning from a monolith to microservices (Kubernetes, Dapr, Kafka) to handle high user volume and data scale. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward marketing (13 roles) versus engineering (4), with most open positions junior-level — a pattern typical of platform companies scaling paid acquisition and UGC creator engagement alongside infrastructure modernization.
Pure is a dating and social platform founded in 2013 and based in Berlin, serving creative users in Europe and beyond. The product focuses on safety, community moderation, and user-driven content (UGC). Operationally, the company is 51–200 employees and actively hiring across nine countries (Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, France, Poland, Mexico, Serbia), with hiring velocity accelerating. Core technical challenges center on scammer detection, abuse prevention, matching-algorithm refinement, and infrastructure scaling to support growing user bases and data volumes.
Pure uses Django and Python on the backend with PostgreSQL, Kafka for event streaming, and Kubernetes for orchestration. iOS is built in Swift with SwiftUI. The stack includes Celery/Dramatiq for task queues, AWS infrastructure, and Google Analytics 4, AppsFlyer, and Meta for analytics and acquisition.
Priority projects include transitioning from a monolithic to microservice architecture, refining matching algorithms, scaling paid acquisition, scammer and abuse detection, and building a UGC creator community to drive organic content and engagement.
