Deine Rolle im Team

Unsere Erwartungen an dich

Qualifikationen

• 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.

Erfahrung

• 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.
