## About the Role

* 10+ years of production software engineering experience, including staff-level technical scope.
 * Experience in both a high-engineering-bar organization where you worked at scale AND a startup or scale-up environment where you built from the ground up, with limited devops support and handled fast pace and ambiguity.
 * Deep production expertise in Go; you should be able to set technical direction for our backend services and develop other engineers' Go capability.
 * Experience designing and operating distributed, event-driven systems; Kafka or comparable technologies are strongly relevant.
 * Strong database design and performance experience, including Postgres.
 * A record of owning architecture across teams, leading significant migrations, mentoring engineers, and working directly with customers or external stakeholders.
 * Clear, effective communication in English.
 * Ability to work from the US East Coast or London, UK, and travel to Africa approximately three times per year.

Additional Valuable Experience

 * Integrating with external partner APIs or partner systems.
 * Designing reliable integrations points and API contracts, authentication, error handling, observability, and integration workflows.
 * Healthcare, fulfillment, logistics, warehouse-management, or e-commerce systems.

## Description

This is a hands-on, product-oriented full-stack role with deep backend ownership. We are looking for an engineer who brings exceptional Go expertise and can raise the technical bar across APIs, integrations, distributed systems, and engineering practices.

What You'll Do

 * Own end-to-end software for fulfillment, maintenance, inventory, and flight workflows.
 * Lead architecture across multiple teams, from data models and API contracts through implementation, rollout, and ongoing operation.
 * Design robust APIs, backend services, and integration patterns that connect field operations, internal teams, and customer-facing products.
 * Build modular, event-driven systems that can evolve with operational and business needs.
 * Improve reliability, observability, automated testing, and operational decision-making for critical workflows.
 * Establish strong engineering standards through design reviews, code review, mentoring, and technical leadership.
 * Partner directly with operations, supply chain, finance, and customer-facing teams to resolve high-impact problems.
