About the role

  • Build highly scalable and resilient backend services in Go — from core ingestion pipelines and edge processing to usage-based billing infrastructure.
  • Solve data engineering challenges at scale, including efficiently querying terabytes of data in ClickHouse and ensuring data accuracy in complex metering systems.
  • Collaborate with product teams to evaluate the economic efficiency of technical designs and ensure maximum value for customers — you're a Product Engineer, not just a coder.
  • Architect and evolve backend systems to handle billions of observability signals with low latency and high reliability.
  • Define standards for code quality and testing, serving as a mentor to the team and ensuring systems remain maintainable as we scale.
  • Drive best practices for Go services and OpenTelemetry distributions across the engineering organization.

Requirements

  • Extensive experience building and scaling distributed backend systems, primarily in Go.
  • Familiarity with high-performance data stores like ClickHouse or messaging systems like Kafka.
  • A product mindset — you care about the end-user experience and think about the business impact of your technical decisions.
  • Strong understanding of observability principles, including experience with OpenTelemetry and Prometheus.
  • Experience designing for reliability, scalability, and operational excellence in production environments.
  • A collaborative approach to engineering — you mentor others, share knowledge, and raise the bar for the team.
Benefits
  • Competitive salary & meaningful equity participation — you'll own part of what you're building
  • Flexible, remote-first work environment with offices in New York, Amsterdam, and Munich
  • €60/month phone & internet allowance
  • Location-specific benefits
