Brands get scale, simplicity, and performance tracking they can actually trust. The role We're looking for a backend-heavy senior engineer who isn't afraid to touch the full stack. Your primary domain is our Golang services and distributed architecture, but you're a product engineer at heart — you understand the why behind the code and can jump into the React/Next.js frontend whenever that's the shortest path to delivering value. You'll join a lean tech team of fewer than 15 people, on systems that move around $1M in payouts every month. What you'll do Design and ship Golang services inside a high-performance distributed system. Move from system design to production-ready code — clean code, test coverage, and documentation included. Contribute to the React/Next.js frontend when that's the fastest way to deliver. Work on payment infrastructure that handles around $1M in monthly payouts. Build event-driven flows and real-time data processing. Mentor other engineers and raise the engineering bar as the team grows. What we're looking for 5+ years of backend experience, including at least 3 years of mastery in Golang. Comfortable with high-performance distributed systems. The skills to navigate and contribute to a React/Next.js frontend. Deep knowledge of PostgreSQL and Redis, ideally GCP. Architectural mindset — you move seamlessly from system design to shipped code. High-bandwidth communicator who mentors others and leaves ego at the door. Bonus: payment systems, event-driven architectures, or real-time data processing. What we offer A competitive salary that reflects the impact you have, reviewed as you grow into more. Flexible time off — take what you need. We trust adults to manage their own energy, not a leave balance. Remote-first: work wherever you’re most productive, and we get together in person when it makes sense. A one-time $1,000 home office bonus to set up a workspace you’ll actually want to work from. An annual education stipend for books, courses, and conferences.
