Qualifications and Skills:

• Minimum 3–4 years of professional experience in backend software development, with a core focus on distributed microservices architectures. • Proven track record of designing, building, and delivering high-volume, low-latency microservices and API endpoints. • Strong proficiency in the specified tech stack: Golang, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, ArangoDB, Redis, REST/GraphQL, Docker, and Weaviate (vector search/RAG). • Hands-on experience or deep familiarity with AI/RAG architectures, including embedding stores, vector databases, retrieval pipelines, and model evaluation datasets. • Experience writing comprehensive test suites (unit/integration), managing test fixtures, and handling database migration strategies. • Demonstrable adaptability to an AI-native workflow, with familiarity using agentic IDEs (Cursor/Claude Code), context engineering, prompt optimization, and daily AI-assisted shipping. • Exceptional problem-solving skills, root-cause debugging capabilities (log analysis), and a metrics-driven approach to service health and latency optimization. • Strong collaborative skills to translate technical specifications into clean designs and represent backend architectures across multi-team discussions.

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.
