About the Role
As a Backend Software Engineer, you will support the build of elegant, performant, maintainable, operable, and secure Golang microservices. You will help design and architect our systems, contribute to continuous improvement, and play a key role in making the engineering team the best it can be. You will deliver clean, architecturally sound, and maintainable server-side code. Full-stack experience is a plus. Working closely with stakeholders across the business, you will build, measure, and learn to help shape a world-class product. You will partner with product and engineering managers to refine how we build and ship, helping the team overcome roadblocks so features land effectively. Along the way, you will guide design discussions, balancing flexibility, speed, scalability, and performance. You will champion new technologies, promote strong development practices, and proactively (but pragmatically) tackle technical debt.
