About The Position

You’ll help build reliable backend services in Go and ship AI-powered features that improve real user experiences. Working closely with product, QA, and ML/AI teammates, you’ll implement REST/gRPC APIs, integrate large language models and embeddings, write clean, well-tested code, and contribute to a modern, scalable platform.

Requirements

• 1–4 years of software engineering experience (or strong internship/project experience) with a focus on backend development.
• Proficiency in Go:
• Concurrency (goroutines, channels), context management, interfaces, error handling
• HTTP servers (net/http) and/or popular frameworks (e.g., Gin, Echo)
• API development: designing, building, and consuming RESTful APIs; familiarity with gRPC and Protocol Buffers is a plus.
• AI/ML fundamentals for product integration:
• Working with LLM APIs, embeddings, prompt design basics, and vector search concepts
• Comfortable wiring AI services into production systems with guardrails and fallbacks
• Testing mindset: Go’s `testing` package, table-driven tests, and mocking (e.g., Testify, mockery).
• Datastores and infrastructure basics: relational DBs (e.g., PostgreSQL), caches (e.g., Redis), and message queues (e.g., Kafka/NATS/RabbitMQ).
• Version control (Git), CI/CD familiarity, Docker, and basic cloud knowledge (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• Strong communication and collaboration skills within cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

• Build, improve, and maintain backend services primarily in Go; contribute in Python and JavaScript when helpful for AI workflows, tooling, or integrations.
• Implement and optimize RESTful and gRPC APIs with a focus on performance, scalability, and clean design.
• Integrate AI/ML capabilities (e.g., LLMs, embeddings, vector search, RAG pipelines) into production features with reliability and observability.
• Participate in code reviews—give and receive feedback, follow coding standards, and learn established design patterns.
• Investigate and troubleshoot defects; profile and optimize performance using tools like pprof and benchmarks.
• Write and maintain tests (unit, integration, and mock-based), aiming for solid coverage and fast feedback.
• Document designs, decisions, and APIs; keep README/runbooks current.
• Collaborate in agile ceremonies (stand-ups, planning, retros) and work cross-functionally with product and QA to clarify requirements and deliver high-quality increments.

Benefits

• Competitive pay and benefits
• Ability to make a noticeable difference for the organization and our customers
• Tremendous growth opportunity by becoming part of a rapidly growing organization. It’s not your tenure but what you can bring to the table that defines how your career will be shaped. You control your growth.
• Complex but interesting challenges to improve the depth and breadth of your technical and business skills. Our consultants are business technologists and understand how technology drives business.
