The platform is constantly being improved and maintained, with its performance tested in real-time by hundreds of thousands of users.

What you need to bring:

  • At least 5 years of work experience in backend development. Our backend is in Golang, but prior knowledge of Go is not a requirement, as much as the interest and willingness to master it.
  • Understanding of whole systems or interaction of different parts of systems, as well as data streams and how different components affect each other.
  • Fostering a culture of architecture that allows for autonomy, development, and future scaling.
  • Fostering a culture of understanding for junior colleagues and actively passing on knowledge to them.
  • Analysing business problems as a precondition for better delivery and preparing the right steps for delivery.
  • Prioritising tasks for yourself and others.
  • Consistently writing production-ready code that is understandable for other engineers, taking into account edge cases and errors.
  • Releasing directly to production, as well as monitoring, maintaining, and resolving issues in production.
  • Recognising the impact of serious issues (process or system wise), escalating them in a timely manner, and communicating with stakeholders from different areas.

In this role, you will:

  • Work independently with the technologies used and be included in the entire life cycle of product development.
  • Be responsible for your tasks and results delivery, act as a true team player, and always keep perfecting your skills and expertise.
  • Develop high-quality, efficient software code, implement features according to standards, continuously improve existing solutions with suggestions for new functionalities, and write automated tests to ensure code reliability and long-term solution stability.
  • Ensure optimal system performance through code optimisation, monitoring production environments, and resolving issues promptly to maintain stability and reliability.
  • Respond to support tickets and client inquiries efficiently, while monitoring system metrics and alerts in line with defined support guidelines.
  • Identify and communicate potential risks during implementation, collaborating with stakeholders to minimise issues.
  • Document software changes, new features, and all relevant work details for future reference, while writing and refining project tasks, providing regular written/verbal progress updates, and maintaining clear communication with team members and supervisors.
  • Actively participate in Guild activities by sharing knowledge, adopting best practices, and contributing to system-wide engineering initiatives.


 Take a peek at our benefits package:

  • Hybrid workplace type with flexible working hours.
  • Discretionary perks and bonuses including a summer bonus, a Christmas bonus, and an annual bonus for outstanding contributions to the team and business.
  • Additional health insurance, which includes an annual health check.
