About the job

We’re looking for a Mid–Senior Golang Software Engineer to join a remote-first team building scalable backend systems and services.

This role is suited for an experienced backend engineer who is comfortable designing, implementing, and operating distributed services in production environments. You will work in an environment where performance, reliability, and maintainability are critical, and where engineers are expected to take ownership of systems throughout their lifecycle.

Parts of the current system use technologies such as Go, Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS. We value engineers with strong backend fundamentals, experience with distributed systems, and the ability to work across infrastructure and application layers when needed.
