About You
We believe you have:
5+ years of strong hands-on backend development experience, including building and maintaining production systems.
Strong skills in at least one backend language; ideally Go, but we know great engineers can learn quickly!
A deep care for code quality, rigorous testing, and system scalability.
Solid hands-on experience working with tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Git, and GitHub Actions (or similar CI/CD systems).
A natural team player mindset where code reviews and clean code are central to your quality process.
Previous experience in coaching or mentoring junior developers
Tech Talk: Our scalable backend uses Go microservices and AMQP for asynchronous messaging. We are cloud-native, leveraging Docker and Kubernetes on GCP, with continuous support from our CI/CD pipelines.
Good to know about the recruitment: As part of our recruitment process we perform mandatory background check on all final candidates (we will always inform you as a candidate before the check is carried out).
