• Build and evolve APIs (GraphQL and/or REST) behind complex product workflows
• Design scalable, reliable, and maintainable backend architectures
• Work closely with frontend engineers, product managers, data engineers, and designers
• Contribute to data modeling, business logic, and performance optimization
• Review code and take part in architectural and technical discussions
• Raise the bar on code quality, testing, observability, and system resilience
• Actively tackle refactoring, technical debt, and long-term improvements
• Own backend features end to end, from design to production
• Take part in Agile ceremonies (planning, stand-ups, retrospectives)

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on, production experience in Go
• Based in a European timezone (UTC−1 to UTC+3)

Requirements

• API design (GraphQL and/or REST)
• PostgreSQL (or similar relational databases)
• BigQuery and other NoSQL databases
• Distributed systems and service-oriented architectures
• Docker and CI/CD pipelines (GitLab pipelines preferred)
• A cloud-infrastructure mindset (GCP or other providers)
• Observability tools (logging, metrics, tracing)
• Testing (unit and/or integration)
• Kubernetes

Benefits

• Full remote — from anywhere within UTC−1 to UTC+3
• Core hours, with flexibility around them
• Daily working language: English
