Job description
- Design, implement, and operate scalable, resilient backend services handling millions of API requests per month.
- Author high-performance microservices in Go and TypeScript, ensuring clean, maintainable code and robust test coverage.
- Architect messaging workflows using RabbitMQ (or similar), optimizing for throughput, latency, and fault tolerance.
- Manage and evolve our cloud infrastructure on GCP - VMs, Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD pipelines, networking, and monitoring.
- Drive technical decisions: from database schema design to distributed cache strategies and sharding approaches.
Requirements
- 3+ years of backend experience building production systems in Go and TypeScript.
- Hands-on expertise with GCP services (Compute Engine, GKE, Pub/Sub, Cloud SQL/Spanner, IAM).
- Proven track record designing message-driven architectures with RabbitMQ, Kafka, or similar.
- Strong knowledge of Kubernetes: deploying, scaling, and troubleshooting at scale.
- Solid understanding of distributed systems principles: consensus, leader election, partition tolerance.
- Familiarity with cryptographic concepts (key management, signatures, encryption) and a curiosity to dig deeper.
Nice to haves
- Background in Rust, or systems programming.
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Cloud Deployment Manager).
- Open-source contributions or side projects showcasing your distributed systems chops.
- Familiarity with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).
Benefits & conditions
- Generous pay & developer-first culture: Work with a high-impact, well-compensated team in Barcelona building next-generation wallet infrastructure.
- High-ownership engineering team: Ship code that powers millions of wallets and transactions, with autonomy and real influence on architecture and product decisions.
- Learning and growth mindset: Collaborate with experts in distributed systems, cryptography, and cloud infrastructure - grow your skills through open-source and real-world scale challenges.
