The posting

About us:

BetterMe — an all-in-one well-being ecosystem empowering millions to become better — physically, mentally, and emotionally. We build what makes people better and keep challenging ourselves to inspire others.

We are looking for a Backend Engineer to join our Core team and help build reliable, scalable backend solutions for a product used by millions of users. This role combines developing new features, optimizing existing services, and contributing to the evolution of the system architecture.

Your impact:

  • Develop new backend functionality using Go as the primary programming language, with occasional work on the PHP codebase (~80/20).
  • Migrate business logic from legacy PHP monoliths to Go-based services.
  • Ensure the stability, performance, and reliability of production systems.
  • Contribute to infrastructure improvements, including CI/CD, observability, and operational excellence initiatives.
  • Collaborate closely with product teams and stakeholders to deliver end-to-end solutions within the domain.
  • Conduct code reviews with a focus on best practices, code quality, and maintainability.

About you:

  • 5+ years of experience in backend development.
  • 2+ years of commercial experience with Go (Golang).
  • Experience working with PHP, preferably Symfony or Laravel.
  • Strong understanding of idiomatic Go patterns, best practices, and application design principles.
  • Actively use AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) in your daily development work to improve workflows and automate tasks.
  • Experience with relational databases such as MySQL and/or PostgreSQL.
  • Experience with asynchronous messaging systems (RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka, Amazon SQS, or similar).
  • Experience with caching and in-memory data stores (Redis / AWS ElastiCache).
  • Exposure to infrastructure and operations, including Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and production troubleshooting.
  • Experience working with Linux and Docker.
  • Ability to write and maintain unit tests, ensuring code quality and reliability.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work with complex systems and domains.

Nice to have:

  • Experience migrating from PHP monoliths to Go services.
  • Strong experience with PHP 8+ (Symfony or Laravel).
  • Experience building and operating distributed systems and high-load services.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud and container orchestration technologies, including AWS services, Kubernetes, Helm, and service mesh solutions (e.g., Istio).
  • Experience with microservice architectures and REST APIs.
  • Knowledge of architectural design principles such as Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, and Domain-Driven Design (DDD).
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
