• Build End-to-End Solutions: Work closely with frontend, mobile, and embedded teams to craft seamless, high-impact solutions that directly enhance the customer experience and business operations
• Drive Product & Technical Vision: Collaborate with product and engineering leadership to refine goals, define requirements, and actively contribute to sprint and quarterly planning
• Own Quality & Reliability: Champion clean code, automation, and continuous monitoring, ensuring robustness, scalability, and a world-class developer experience

What you'll need

• Backend Expertise: Hands-on experience developing scalable backend services and APIs, preferably in Golang (experience in Java or Python is also highly relevant)
• Cloud & Distributed Systems: Solid understanding of cloud-native architectures, distributed systems, scalability, and reliability best practices
• Event-Driven Architectures: Familiarity with technologies like Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar event-driven messaging systems
• DevOps & Infrastructure: Experience with CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and monitoring to ensure robust and maintainable deployments
• Database Proficiency: Strong knowledge of relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL), with an understanding of data modeling and optimization
• Education & Fundamentals: Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related STEM field, with a strong grasp of algorithms and data structures
