Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Backend Engineer (Go) - **Company:** Recare Deutschland GmbH - **Location:** Germany (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Software Quality, Code Review, Dicom, Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, Delivery Pipeline, Database Optimization, Backend, Health Level Seven International, Golang - **Published:** July 23, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.de/details/5811727393 ## About the Role * We are looking for experienced developers. You have a CS degree or equivalent knowledge, and you have been coding full time professionally for 4 to 5 plus years * We're looking for someone with production experience in Golang, or another C family language with a real, demonstrable ability to operate in Go without hand holding * You have some experience supporting or mentoring other engineers, and you are looking for a strong individual contributor role rather than a path into people management * You want to become a technical owner of part of our codebase. We need people who are looking for responsibility, just not a team to manage * You are a clear, confident communicator, comfortable being put on the spot in a conversation and able to think out loud rather than defaulting to async only communication when something needs a real time answer * Since Product and Engineering work in a fully remote setup, writing skills matter more and more, so written questions, requirements, and docs are genuinely valuable * You should be comfortable and excited to dive into more advanced topics, for example build pipelines, caching mechanisms, and database optimisation * Since we're a small team, we want to automate a lot. You should have experience with CI and testing frameworks * You are proactive and proficient across the entire product development flow, asking questions, clarifying specs, raising doubts, and engaging in meetings * Healthcare experience is a bonus, not a requirement. FHIR, HL7, or DICOM exposure is great to have, but we have hired strong engineers from fintech, insurtech, and other compliance heavy domains with zero healthcare background who did just fine * You are genuinely excited about what AI can do for engineering. We don't expect every line of code to be AI generated, but we do expect curiosity and a real point of view on where this is heading ## Description * Technical Ownership. Own a domain inside our Go codebase, contribute to architectural decisions and code quality within your area, identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies and suggest or implement improvements. * Stepping Up When Needed. Be ready to take charge of priorities and keep things moving if your lead is away, supporting and mentoring other engineers along the way without needing to manage a team. * Cross-Functional Collaboration. Work closely with product and design to translate business needs into technical solutions, and communicate technical progress, risks and trade-offs clearly. * Delivery. Ship reliably against the team's roadmap, help break down features into deliverable tasks, and identify and remove blockers as they come up. * Building With AI. We are an AI company now, and that shows up in how we expect people to work, not just what we build. Use AI tooling as a genuine part of your day to day, whether that is accelerating how you write and review code, prototyping ideas faster, or finding smarter ways to work. We do not expect you to vibe code everything end to end, plenty of our best engineers still want to write the core of what they ship themselves and use AI to speed things up around the edges. What matters is real curiosity about where this is heading, not scepticism about whether any of this changes how software gets built. ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [ZEISS & Microsoft - Building the Next Generation Medical Ecosystem in the Cloud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/424-zeiss-microsoft-building-the-next-generation-medical-ecosystem-in-the-cloud) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Beyond Hiring: Building a Sustainable Talent Acquisition Engine at Deutsche Bahn](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1856-beyond-hiring-building-a-sustainable-talent-acquisition-engine-at-deutsche-bahn) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Finding Jobs in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/375-finding-jobs-in-germany) - [The Biggest German Tech Companies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/424-the-biggest-german-tech-companies) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Backend Developer Salary in Germany [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/196-backend-developer-salary-in-germany-2023) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
