We’re looking for a Senior Golang Engineer to join a remote-first platform team building backend APIs that power scalable, high-impact systems. This is a collaborative, fast-moving team that values clean code, thoughtful architecture, and teammates who take initiative and enjoy solving complex problems. The engineering culture emphasizes autonomy, shared learning, and supporting one another - balancing heads-down development time with collaborative working sessions and regular iteration. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute to widely used systems, work with cutting-edge tooling, and be part of a team that supports core business platforms used across the organization.

This is a W2 contract role paying $63-$70/hr. There is potential for long-term growth and additional opportunities, based on performance and business needs.

  • 5+ years of backend software engineering experience, ideally in a large-scale enterprise environment
  • 3+ years of hands-on expertise with Golang, particularly in building scalable, production-grade APIs
  • Comfortable working from an API spec and translating contracts into maintainable, well-structured code
  • Experience in cloud-native environments, ideally Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
  • Familiarity with Cloud Run and GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine)
  • Exposure to service-level monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Grafana, SLOs/SLIs, error tracking)
  • Strong grasp of backend system architecture and modern development best practices
  • Self-starter mindset - takes initiative, asks smart questions, and keeps momentum even when facing blockers
  • Effective communicator who works well on remote teams and contributes positively to team culture

Nice-to-Have

  • Familiarity with React and frontend development (not required, but helpful long-term)
