The Role

We are looking for a Senior Go Engineer to join our team and help build high-quality, scalable backend services and APIs. This role is perfect for someone with hands-on experience in Go who is ready to take ownership of features end to end, contribute to technical decisions and work on impactful projects.

  • Design and develop high-performing backend services and APIs using Go, ensuring reliability, scalability and consistency across distributed systems
  • Build and maintain RESTful APIs and gRPC services with clear contracts, versioning discipline and robust error handling
  • Integrate AWS services such as DynamoDB, Lambda, S3 and Cognito to deliver scalable and secure backend solutions
  • Contribute to architectural discussions and technical decision-making across the backend stack, helping shape patterns that support long-term maintainability
  • Build, containerise and deploy services Docker and Kubernetes, working with CI/CD pipelines to keep releases fast, safe and repeatable
  • Write and maintain automated tests, including unit, integration and end-to-end tests, to ensure code quality, reliability and confidence in every release
  • Monitor and optimise service performance, identifying and resolving bottlenecks in latency, throughput, concurrency and resource usage
  • Take part in code reviews, giving and receiving constructive feedback, and support less experienced engineers in developing their Go skills
  • Collaborate closely with product managers, designers and web and mobile engineers to translate requirements into production-ready features
  • Stay current with the Go ecosystem and cloud-native tooling, proactively evaluating new libraries, tools and AWS service updates to continuously improve the development stack

  • Experience designing and building RESTful APIs and/or gRPC services in production
  • Experience with AWS services and building cloud-native backend systems
  • Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes or equivalent container orchestration platforms
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, preferably GitHub Actions or similar tooling
  • A sold understanding of testing strategies and TDD for backend services
  • Good problem-solving skills and a structured, pragmatic approach to system design
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a team, including with frontend and mobile engineers consuming your APIs
  • Comfortable working with and maintaining services and codebases built by different teams

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.
