Description du poste

Senior Golang Engineer at Nearform | £75k+ UK — Remote

This Senior Golang Engineer role at Nearform offers strong career development potential within a well-regarded consultancy serving enterprise clients like Walmart, Starbucks, and Lululemon. Working across multiple client projects accelerates breadth of experience faster than most in-house roles.

Compensation: Starting at £75,000 + bonus, this is at the lower-mid end of the Senior Golang Engineer market in the UK, where salaries typically range from £80,000–£120,000 depending on sector and location. The annual performance bonus and 5% pension match improve the total package meaningfully. Candidates with strong K8s and cloud expertise may want to negotiate above the starting figure.

Skills You'll Build:

• Golang at enterprise scale — a high-demand, well-compensated skill
• Kubernetes orchestration — increasingly essential across cloud-native roles
• AI-integrated application development — growing in demand across all sectors
• Client-facing technical consulting — a differentiator for senior career moves

Culture Signals: Nearform operates as a 500-person consultancy across 20+ countries — a mid-sized, globally distributed organisation with a startup-ish culture. The people-first language and genuine flexibility commitment are green flags. The consultancy model means varied work but also variable project fit — some clients may be more interesting than others.

Red Flags to Watch: The mention of a potential additional client interview adds an extra step of uncertainty. Consultancy roles can also mean context-switching between projects, which suits generalists but may frustrate those seeking deep specialisation.

This is a permanent full-time remote opportunity for those based in the UK.

Nearform is an independent team of data & AI experts, engineers, and designers who build intelligent digital solutions and capability at pace. We create AI-enabled solutions that enhance digital experiences, empower developers, and deliver measurable results. In these ways, we partner with ambitious enterprises to deliver enduring impact.
