About the role

  • Contribute to architecture: Participate in team-level architectural decisions, evaluating trade-offs and proposing solutions grounded in deep understanding of the system.
  • Own feature development: Take ownership of features end-to-end — from technical design through delivery — breaking complex projects into well-scoped, deliverable pieces.
  • Write high-quality code: Produce Go code that is idiomatic, performant, well-tested, and raises the bar for the code-base.
  • Improve quality proactively: Identify opportunities to improve code quality, performance, reliability, and developer experience — and act on them.
  • Guide junior engineers: Provide technical guidance to Software Engineers I and II through thorough code reviews, pairing sessions, and design feedback.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally: Work with Product, Design, and QA to validate technical decisions and ensure alignment between product goals and implementation.
  • Participate in on-call rotation: Take increasing ownership of incident response, contributing to root cause analysis and systemic improvements.
  • Build team knowledge: Document technical decisions, system architecture, and patterns to strengthen your team’s shared understanding.
  • Performance Ownership: Own high throughput endpoints, their database queries and their caching strategies.
