ABOUT THE TEAM
You will join a product engineering team of backend, frontend, QA, and DevOps engineers working closely with Product and Design. The team owns its services end to end: from design and implementation to deployment, monitoring, and on-call support.
Typical Tech Stack:
Language: Go
Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis
Messaging: Kafka, RabbitMQ, or NATS
APIs: REST, gRPC, OpenAPI (Swagger)
Authentication & Authorization: OAuth 2.0 / OIDC
Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD (GitLab CI or similar)
Observability: Metrics, centralized logging, distributed tracing, alerting Required:
5+ years of commercial backend development experience
Strong proficiency in Go : idiomatic code, concurrency patterns, performance profiling
Solid understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL or MySQL): schema design, indexing, query optimization, migrations
Experience with Redis or similar caching solutions
Experience designing and implementing REST APIs (gRPC is a plus) and documenting them with OpenAPI/Swagger
Understanding of microservices architecture and distributed systems trade-offs (consistency, availability, failure modes)
Experience with message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ, NATS, or similar) and event-driven design
Experience with Docker and a good understanding of Kubernetes basics
Proficiency with Git and CI/CD practices
Solid experience with automated testing (unit, integration)
Understanding of application security fundamentals (OWASP Top 10, secure handling of secrets and user data, authentication and authorization basics)
Good written and spoken English
Preferred:
Experience with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/Graylog, OpenTelemetry)
Experience with high-load systems and performance profiling
Experience with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure) and infrastructure-as-code
Experience with NoSQL databases (MongoDB or similar)
Experience leading technical initiatives or mentoring engineers
Experience in gaming, e-commerce, fintech, or payments domains
Practical, up-to-date experience with modern AI tools (e.g. Claude, Copilot, Cursor)
