We are looking for a hands-on Backend Engineer to join an innovative R&D team building a cloud-native product. You will deliver high-quality Go (and Java where needed) using modern cloud frameworks, and own features end-to-end — from design through production health.
Responsibilities:
Design, implement, and ship backend services for a cloud-native product — from design through production
Write clean, testable, maintainable Go (and Java where needed)
Own features end-to-end with your team: APIs, data model, tests, rollout, and production health
Partner with product and peers on design trade-offs for scalability and reliability
Proactively propose and drive incremental product improvements, not just ticket work
Keep pace with DevOps and cloud-native practices that affect how we build and run software
Requirements
Must-have requirements:
3–5 years building backend services in Go and/or Java, with strong production experience in at least one (Go is the primary language)
Solid grasp of web APIs — REST and/or gRPC
Hands-on experience with relational databases and data modeling
Proven experience shipping and operating services in production (rollout, monitoring, production health)
Comfort with automated tests and CI
Ability to reason about scalability and reliability trade-offs
Efficient, deliberate use of AI coding tools (e.g. Cursor, Claude) to accelerate delivery without sacrificing code quality, ownership, or engineering judgment
Nice to have:
Docker and Kubernetes
CI/CD pipelines
GitHub Actions
Concurrency or distributed systems experience
