# Senior Backend Engineer (Go)

- **Company:** Recare
- **Location:** Berlin, Germany (Remote available)
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Software Quality, Dicom, Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, Delivery Pipeline, Database Optimization, Backend, Health Level Seven International, Golang
- **Published:** October 17, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.careerjet.de/jobad/def8e5b2e6f11ef3e9c93b1e0959cfcfc1

## 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.
