About the company
At Jobtome - https://weare.jobtome.com/ - we are a HR Tech company building modern web applications used by companies to manage complex hiring and recruitment workflows at scale.
Our products are highly interactive, data-driven, and designed for real-world usage, not demos.
We work with a strong product mindset, short feedback loops, and a pragmatic engineering culture focused on quality, ownership, and long-term maintainability.
The role
We are looking for a Senior Golang Backend Developer to join our engineering team and take ownership of critical backend systems and services.
You will work on the design, development, and evolution of backend services that power our products, contributing to architectural decisions, improving system reliability, and shaping how backend engineering is done across the company.
This is a hands-on senior role: you will write production code every day and be deeply involved in technical and architectural decisions that have real impact.
What you will do
Design, develop, and maintain backend services written in Go
Build and evolve APIs (GraphQL and/or REST) that support complex product workflows
Work on and design scalable, reliable, and maintainable backend architectures
Collaborate closely with frontend engineers, product managers, data engineers and designers
Contribute to data modeling, business logic, and performance optimization
Perform code reviews and participate in architectural and technical discussions
Improve code quality, testing strategy, observability, and system resilience
Actively work on refactoring, technical debt, and long-term improvements
Take ownership of backend features from design to production
Actively participate in Agile ceremonies (planning, stand-ups, retrospectives)
Tech stack
You will work with (and are expected to be comfortable with):
Go (Golang)
API design (GraphQL and/or REST)
PostgreSQL (or similar relational databases)
BigQuery and other NoSQL databases
Distributed systems and service-oriented architectures

Cloud infrastructure mindset (GCP or other providers)
Observability tools (logging, metrics, tracing)
Testing (unit and/or integration)
Kubernetes
Nice to have points:
Working experience with Python
Exposure to Protobuf and Grpc
What We’re Looking For
We consider "senior" someone who can:

Take ownership of complex features and systems
Make informed architectural decisions and explain trade-offs
Write clean, maintainable, and well-structured code
Proactively identify problems and propose solutions
Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Raise the overall quality bar of the team through example and reviews
