## About the Role

What Will You Bring to the Table?We're not looking for someone who knows everything about system architecture from day one; that's what our senior engineers are here for! We seek a proactive problem solver with a solid foundation.
Here's what we'd love to see:
Solid Go experience: A few years of commercial experience writing clean, efficient, and testable code in Go.

A proactive mindset: You actively seek ways to improve the codebase, fix bugs, and streamline processes.

Event-Driven know-how: A good understanding of microservices and event-driven design, including the complexities of eventual consistency and distributed systems.

An SRE mindset: You care deeply about what happens after your code goes live, focusing on maintaining and improving production services.

Great communication: Comfortable "working out loud" and explaining technical concepts to non-technical folks.

Quality first: Experience with Test-Driven Development (TDD) and openness to pair programming when tackling complex problems.

AI-Assisted Development: Comfortable using AI coding assistants and LLMs to enhance your daily workflow.

AWS Cloud Services: Hands-on experience with Amazon Web Services, including DynamoDB, SNS, SQS, and S3.

Bonus points: Previous experience in an international company or with high-volume transactional systems (like POS or e-commerce). Experience with Kafka is also a strong plus.
