      Description
      We’re looking for a backend engineer with strong experience in Ruby, Python, or PHP who is excited to grow into Go (Golang) while working on real, production-critical systems.Our core backend services are written in Go and PHP, but we do not expect Go expertise on day one. What matters most is your ability to design systems, reason about data, and operate production software. If you’ve built APIs, background workers, and data-driven applications in Rails, Django, FastAPI, Laravel, Symfony, or custom PHP stacks, this role is a natural next step.We value engineers who care about clarity, reliability, and business impact over framework novelty. We expect engineers at this level to leverage modern tooling — including AI-assisted development — to improve velocity, test coverage, and code quality while maintaining strong engineering judgment.COMPENSATION: The anticipated annual base salary for this position is $175,000. Actual compensation may vary based on work experience, education, and skill level. What You’ll Do:Build and maintain backend services written in GoDesign and evolve clean, well-documented APIsOwn services end-to-end: design, implementation, deployment, and monitoringWork on high-throughput, revenue-critical workflowsCollaborate closely with frontend, data, and product partnersParticipate in architecture discussions, code reviews, and retrospectivesRamp into Go with support, feedback, and real ownershipHow Your Existing Skills Transfer:Your background in Ruby, Python, or PHP directly applies:Designing REST APIsModeling data and working with relational databasesBuilding background jobs, queues, and workersUnderstand current and implement new Kafka streamsBalancing speed, maintainability, and operational riskWe’ll help you level up on:Idiomatic Go and explicit error handlingStrong typing and simpler abstractionsConcurrency using goroutines, channels, and contextPerformance tuning and memory awarenessBuilding systems that are easier to operate at scaleTechnical Environment:Languages: Go (primary), legacy services in Ruby / Python / PHPFrontend: ReactDatastores: PostgreSQL, RedisInfrastructure: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes (or equivalent)Messaging / Events: Kafka, SQS, or similarObservability: Datadog
