About the role

You develop and maintain scalable, event-driven backend services in Golang — including core DataBus services, ingestion, transformation and routing.
You implement and optimize event-streaming pipelines based on Kafka or Redpanda.
For central commerce objects such as products, inventory and orders, you develop robust transformation and validation logic.
You design and maintain multi-tenant, cloud-native APIs (REST and GraphQL) to integrate external systems.
You build observability and monitoring with OpenTelemetry, metrics and tracing, ensuring data reliability and fault tolerance.
You optimize AWS deployments (ECS/EKS, Terraform/IaC, S3, Secrets Manager).
You contribute to resilience through backpressure strategies, retries and failover mechanisms across distributed workloads.
You strengthen tenant scaling and data isolation within the event-driven platform.
Optionally, you work on frontend integration via the Nexus Workflow Builder to visualize data flows.

At least five years of backend experience in Golang or another statically typed language (e.g. Rust, Java) provide you with a solid foundation.
Experience with distributed systems and high-availability architectures enables you to design resilient services.
Knowledge of API design (REST/GraphQL), data modeling and database performance (e.g. PostgreSQL, Redis) ensures reliable interfaces.
A strong understanding of event-streaming systems (Kafka, Redpanda, NATS, etc.) empowers you to build high-throughput pipelines.
Familiarity with cloud environments (preferably AWS) as well as containerized deployments using Docker and CI/CD pipelines supports efficient delivery.
An understanding of microservice architectures, pub/sub messaging and stream processing (e.g. Flink or similar) complements your toolkit.
Clear, honest and direct communication, a willingness to explore and innovate, and strong problem-solving skills help you work effectively across teams.
Interest in low-code/workflow automation tools and a drive to take ownership and deliver results characterize your working style.
Not required but advantageous: experience with Redpanda Connect or comparable managed streaming platforms, exposure to Flink, Kubernetes or Terraform, familiarity with the Shopware ecosystem or e-commerce data models, and practical experience with observability pipelines or multi-tenant SaaS services — all of which give you noticeable impact.
You are fluent in English and use it naturally in your daily work.
