Job description

We are partnering with an ambitious, fast-growing tech start-up, looking to eliminate friction in building digital products end-to-end. Our client's platform enables developers from some of the world’s largest companies to design and streamline their API environments.

It is important to mention we have worked hard to build an environment we wished we had worked in before - place that supports innovation, experimentation, and trust. An environment where the engineers feel comfortable challenging and be challenged in the most positive sense of that word.

At the core of their product ecosystem is a high-performance, cutting-edge open-source router written entirely in Go. They are looking for a Senior or Staff Go Engineer who loves diving deep into complex technical challenges, writing high-throughput code, and driving open-source software forward.

What You'll Be Doing

Taking ownership of core platform components and open-source codebases, focusing on performance, system execution, security, and long-term scalability.

• Core Go Development - the backend of the backend as we call it :)
• Feature Innovation & Architecture: what else should we be looking at & working on
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with product and customer engineering teams to troubleshoot complex technical issues and refine product capabilities.

What You Bring

• Go Expertise: Proven Senior or Staff-level Golang experience in an ownership or lead capacity.
• Self-Driven Mindset: A true self-starter who digs into complex, multi-week engineering challenges and solves them robustly without needing hand-holding.
• Remote Setup: Ability to thrive in a fully remote environment, with excellent English communication skills and availability to work within the CET time zone.
• Travel: Willingness to travel occasionally for team retreats and working sessions (at least twice a year).

Bonus Points

• Experience with GraphQL, API Gateways, Proxies, gRPC, or networking protocols.
• Active open-source contributions.
