## Description

Tegelijkertijd werk je samen met een extreem senior engineering team. Veel collega's hebben tientallen jaren ervaring met distributed systems, networking en security. De focus en productiviteit liggen uitzonderlijk hoog. Als mensen spreken over een "small but powerful team", dan is dit wat ze bedoelen.

Als Senior Go Backend Engineer werk je aan de volgende generatie backend systems die het platform ondersteunen en uitbreiden. Je onderhoudt geen legacy codebase. Je helpt nieuwe services ontwerpen en bouwen die naadloos integreren met een wereldwijd uitgerold networking product.
