Why This Role?
We’re looking for a Senior Back-End Engineer with strong Golang expertise to help scale and optimize a next-generation platform. If you love solving complex problems, writing high-performance Go code , and building scalable, secure systems, this is the role for you.
Here, you’ll work with an elite engineering team in a fast-moving, collaborative environment —no red tape, no silos, just smart people shipping great software. You’ll be hands-on from day one, building new features , optimizing existing architecture , and making a real impact on the product.
And let’s be real—working in downtown Atlanta a few days a week has its perks. Morning coffee at Ponce City Market, brainstorming with skyline views, and post-work meetups at the city’s best spots.
What You’ll Do
80% New Development – Architect, build, and deploy high-performance Golang applications in a modern cloud environment.
Hands-On Engineering – Write clean, scalable Go code and ship features that matter—fast.
Solve Real Problems – Work alongside top engineers to scale systems, optimize performance, and enhance security .
Improve & Innovate – Bring fresh ideas, refine existing architectures, and contribute to a high-growth product.
What You Bring to the Table Must-Haves :
3 years of back-end engineering experience , with a strong focus on Golang development .
Proven ability to hit the ground running —this role is for builders, not observers.
Experience with cloud environments (AWS preferred), APIs, microservices, and distributed systems .
A problem-solving mindset —you thrive on tackling technical challenges and delivering solutions.
A team-first attitude —collaborative, communicative, and committed to shipping high-quality code.
Nice-to-Haves (That’ll Make You Stand Out) :
Deep Golang expertise (seriously, this is a BIG plus).
DevOps experience (AWS, Terraform, Docker—you know the drill).
Fintech or high-scale SaaS experience (not required, but cool if you have it).
What Success Looks Like
You’re delivering high-quality Golang code and contributing to scalable, high-impact features .
You integrate seamlessly with the team—collaborating, problem-solving, and keeping projects on track.
You’re proactive— pushing the product forward by identifying areas for improvement and implementing solutions.
You fit the culture— high energy, zero egos, and a strong GSD (Get Stuff Done) factor .
Why You’ll Love This Gig
Join a high-growth, tech-driven company making waves in its industry.
Work in downtown Atlanta —enjoy the city’s best coffee spots, lunch options, and networking hubs a few days a week.
Be part of a team that values innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning —no silos, no micromanagement, just smart people solving hard problems.
Competitive salary hybrid flexibility —the best of both worlds.
