Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Basic working familiarity with Go - you don't need deep expertise, but you should be comfortable reading Go code and understanding its core syntax and idioms.
- If your background is primarily in another stack: during interviews, you'll need to demonstrate you can pick up Go quickly and show a genuine willingness to build your career in Go - our backend stack (Go) isn't changing, so this is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have.
- Strong architectural instincts - you understand tradeoffs and can articulate them clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- The ability to mentor others without being asked - you notice where people are stuck and act on it.
- A guild mindset: you contribute to backend-wide discussions, not just your squad's backlog.
- In-depth knowledge of REST API design, PostgreSQL, and Testing Techniques.
- A proven track record of designing the architecture of multiple applications or complex features end-to-end.
- Strong tendency towards implementing modern best practices like pair-programming sessions, unit and integration tests, adaptation of AI and automation, refactoring, SOLID principles, security best practices, documentation as code, regular knowledge sharing, etc.
- Big-picture thinking; You collaborate with non-developers to clarify requirements and help plan projects, with an eye on the overall impact on the business & product.
- A willingness to learn about and contribute to the whole stack is essential.
- A team-first attitude; As a group, we strive to leave egos at home.
- Empathy for your customers and your colleagues.
Experience
- 6+ years of experience as a Backend Developer building enterprise-grade web applications - Go strongly preferred, but we're also open to strong backgrounds in other mainstream backend languages (e.g., Node.js, Java, C#, Python).
- Experience building scalable, maintainable, and performant large-scale applications.
- Hands-on experience owning maintenance, performance, and security concerns for production systems.
