Backend Software Engineer (Go/AWS)

Overview

Backend Software Engineer (Go/AWS) — Circular Economy (EU-Remote/Milan)

We are working for a client that is building an AI-powered, product-centric platform turning pre-owned goods into currency and connecting retailers, consumers, and professional buyers across Europe. You’ll help design and ship event-driven backend services that make re-commerce instant, trustworthy, and scalable.

What you’ll do

• Design, build, and operate event-driven backend services and APIs.
• Translate business needs into simple, reliable product features.
• Lead decisions on architecture, observability, testing, and scalability.
• Collaborate with Product & Design to deliver measurable outcomes.
• Improve developer experience (CI/CD, IaC, tooling) to ship faster.
• IaC: AWS CDK.
• Frontend: TypeScript, React.
• Practices: Automated testing, trunk-based development, metrics/tracing.

What you’ll bring

• 3–7+ years building production backends (Go a plus; any typed language welcome).
• Experience in small/early teams owning features end-to-end.
• Comfort with Docker, cloud primitives, and production deployments.
• Product mindset: measure impact, simplify, and ship.
• Bonus: SaaS/fintech/AI tooling/dev-platforms; serverless at scale.

How they work

• High autonomy and ownership; fast feedback loops; experiments > slideware.

Offer

• Competitive base salary (from €45.000 to €70.000) + meaningful equity.

Not for

• Engineering managers, product managers, or coordinator-style roles; this is hands-on software engineering with ownership, including on-call for what you ship.
• BSc/MSc in CS (or equivalent experience). Non CS backgrounds welcome with a strong track record of building and shipping.
