Senior Backend Engineer (Go)

We are looking for an experienced Senior Backend Engineer (Go) to join a project focused on a cloud eQMS (electronic quality management system) for pharma, biotech and medical-device companies. The product helps customers manage documents, training, audits and other processes driven by regulatory requirements. The backend is being rewritten from PHP to Go microservices, and in parallel the team is introducing AI-assisted processes to improve quality management workflows.

What We're Looking For:

• 5+ years of hands-on backend development experience
• Strong commercial experience with Go (Golang) and fluent, confident coding in it
• Experience working in regulated industries (healthcare, pharma, life sciences, finance)
• Strong experience designing and building microservices and REST APIs using Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and modern architectural patterns
• Solid knowledge of SQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL); experience with at least one NoSQL database is welcome
• Experience with message queues / streaming (Kafka, SQS, MQTT or similar)
• Hands-on experience with Docker and Docker Compose
• Experience with a cloud platform (AWS, Azure or GCP)
• Practical experience configuring CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar)
• Experience with automated testing (unit and integration tests, mocking)
• Experience with logging, distributed tracing and monitoring
• Daily use of AI-assisted development tools
• High level of autonomy: able to own services end to end with minimal supervision
• Clear communication with both technical and non-technical people, including client stakeholders
• Upper-Intermediate English or higher (B2+)

Your Responsibilities:

• Design, develop and maintain Go microservices and REST APIs
• Contribute to the migration of the backend from PHP to Go
• Write reliable, secure and well-tested code that meets the requirements of a regulated environment
• Own your services end to end, including CI/CD, monitoring and maintenance
• Work as part of a dedicated team, collaborating with PMs, UI developers and DevOps
• Communicate with client stakeholders and contribute to technical decisions

Will be a plus:

• Experience with GxP-regulated environments
• PHP experience (legacy code is being migrated to Go)
• CQRS / BFF patterns and understanding of frontend patterns such as MVVM/MVI
• Experience with GraphQL or gRPC
• Basic Kubernetes knowledge
