We are VC funded startup building in AI + education (stealth mode) with 800,000+ users in last 4 months. Now we are looking for founding backend engineer Go Lang.
You won't just be writing code; you will be architecting systems. You will take ownership of the server-side logic, database architecture, and cloud infrastructure, while having a strong command of the Golang and bits of nodejs ecosystem(old codebase).
Ideally, you are someone who can take a vague problem statement, convert it into technical requirements, and build a scalable solution from the ground up.
What You'll do
API & System Design: Design and build robust, scalable backend systems using Golang. Implement secure authentication flows (JWT/Auth) and ensure best practices in Microservices and API design. Database Management and Caching: Design complex database schemas using Postgre SQL. Optimize queries for performance and ensure data integrity. Optimize existing queries and remove bottlenecks. Implement caching strategies using Redis to reduce latency and improve backend system performance.
Infrastructure & Dev Ops: Deploy, manage, and monitor applications using AWS (specifically E2, Load Balancer, Lambda, API Gateway and S3). Handle the scaling of applications based on changing traffic and business needs. Setup CI/CD pipelines to ship code fast without breaking existing systems. Quality & Maintenance: Write clean, maintainable, testable, and well-documented code. actively participate in code reviews and use Unit/Integration tests in day to day development as we believe they're a Pillar for shipping right code faster. End-to-End Ownership: Debug and resolve technical issues across the full stack. Translate basic requirements into functioning backend systems with minimal hand-holding. Understand how observability tools work and how to properly instrument software at scale. Lead: guide junior and intermediate engineers, helping them grow and execute faster. What you bring
Core Stack: Solid proficiency
