About the Role:
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Development team — the core of our backend infrastructure. This is a high-ownership role on a small, senior team. You'll work directly with Go, AWS, and SQL Server to take new ideas from whiteboard to production, often end-to-end, without hand-holding at every step. If you thrive when given a problem and the latitude to solve it, this role was built for you.
What You'll Do:
- Own the full lifecycle of new features and systems — from architectural design through deployment, iteration and maintenance
- Build and maintain high-performance backend services in Go
- Design, query, and optimize SQL Server databases at scale
- Architect and manage AWS infrastructure across our core stack (RDS, Lambda, API Gateway, S3, CDK, and more)
- Build and maintain data engineering workflows — moving, transforming, and making sense of data reliably at scale
- Collaborate directly with leadership to translate product ideas into technical solutions
- Identify and address technical debt, scalability bottlenecks, and reliability risks before they become problems
- Leverage AI and LLM tooling as a force multiplier — you treat these tools as a core part of how you work, not an afterthought
Requirements:
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
- 2+ years of production experience with Go
- 3+ years of hands-on AWS experience (RDS, Lambda, API Gateway, S3, CDK, or similar)
- 2+ years working with SQL Server or comparable relational databases in a production environment
- Demonstrated experience on a team of fewer than 10 engineers, or a role where individual ownership was the norm
Must-haves:
- Strong proficiency in Go — you've written production Go and are fluent in its idioms
- Solid SQL Server skills — query optimization, schema design, and understanding what's happening under the hood
- AWS fluency across the standard toolkit — RDS, Lambda, API Gateway, S3, CDK; you know how to pick the right service and build something that holds up
- Comfort with data engineering patterns — pipelines, data movement, transformation logic, and keeping things reliable when data is messy
- Hands-on experience with AI/LLM tooling — whether building integrations, using AI in your workflow, or both; you're already thinking this way
- Experience thriving on a small, high-ownership team — you're used to wearing multiple hats, moving fast, and not waiting for someone else to unblock you
- A track record of working independently — you can take a vague requirement, ask the right clarifying questions, and ship something great
Why Join Us:
Our Development team is small by design. That means less noise, more impact, and real ownership over the systems you build. You won't be a cog — you'll be one of the people who decides how things work. When leadership has a new idea, it comes to this team, and it's up to us to make it real. If you want your fingerprints on a product that matters, this is the place. Driven by a culture of transparency and technical excellence, we prioritize building elegant, effective software that wins on its own merit.
