Description:

We are looking for a Senior Golang Engineer to join a remote-first platform team building backend APIs that power scalable, high-impact systems.
This role is part of 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 will 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, with potential for long-term growth and additional opportunities based on performance and business needs.

Requirements:

You must have 5+ years of backend software engineering experience, ideally in a large-scale enterprise environment.
You should have 3+ years of hands-on expertise with Golang, particularly in building scalable, production-grade APIs.
You need to be comfortable working from an API spec and translating contracts into maintainable, well-structured code.
Experience in cloud-native environments, ideally Google Cloud Platform (GCP), is required.
Familiarity with Cloud Run and GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine) is necessary.
You should have exposure to service-level monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Grafana, SLOs/SLIs, error tracking).
A strong grasp of backend system architecture and modern development best practices is essential.
You must possess a self-starter mindset, taking initiative, asking smart questions, and maintaining momentum even when facing blockers.
Effective communication skills are required to work well on remote teams and contribute positively to team culture.
Familiarity with React and frontend development is a nice-to-have but not required.

Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance options are available, with 50% employer-paid premiums.
A 401K option is offered after 1 year of employment.
Profit sharing is included as part of the benefits.
Professional development and training opportunities are provided to enhance your skills.
The position is fully remote, and employer-provided equipment will be supplied.
