Senior Backend Engineer (Go), product team

We are a senior engineering team hiring a backend engineer for a long-term role inside a client's product team. The client is a product company with a large user base. We share its name only with engineers who pass our technical call.

Engineers there shape what gets built, not only how, and work directly with product people.

What matters most to us
• You have built a product that people use every day, and you can point to the parts you owned
• You think about the person using the product. You question a feature when it does not serve them and suggest a better one
• Experience with creative, media or design products, or with shipping AI features to users, is a strong plus

What you will do
• Build and scale backend services in Go
• Run background jobs reliably, with queues, retries and idempotent steps
• Turn new capabilities into features people actually use
• Work with a cloud stack, message queues and APIs

You should have
• 3+ years of Go in production and 5+ years of backend work overall. If you come from a strong product team and work in another language, apply anyway and tell us how fast you would pick up Go
• Experience owning parts of a production system end to end
• Fluent English for daily work with the client team

The role is full time, 40 hours a week, long term, with a working day that overlaps European business hours. Individual engineers only, no agencies.

How we hire: a call with our CTO about your product work and your code, then a call with the client's team. Both are live, with screen share and without AI assistants.

To apply, open your application with a link to a product you helped build and one sentence on what you owned in it. Applications without it will not be read.
