As a Senior Go Engineer, you'll work on complex backend services using Go, AWS and event-driven architecture. You'll collaborate closely with Product and Engineering to build scalable, high-performance systems that have real customer impact.


What You'll Be Doing

  • Designing and building scalable backend services in Go.

  • Developing modern event-driven applications.

  • Building APIs and distributed systems.

  • Working closely with Product and Engineering on new feature development.

  • 5+ years' experience building commercial software applications.

  • Strong commercial experience with Go (Golang).

  • Experience building scalable backend services and APIs.

  • Experience working with SQL databases.

  • Exposure to cloud environments such as AWS.

If you're excited by where software engineering is heading, you'll have the opportunity to learn from experienced engineers while gaining hands-on exposure to this emerging technology as part of your day-to-day work.

Why Join?

  • Modern Go technology stack.

  • Exposure to a genuine AI powered platform.

  • Mature engineering environment and team

  • Hybrid working environment.
