## Description

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help architect, build, and scale the core infrastructure behind our AI-powered identity verification platform. This is a hands-on engineering role with significant ownership across backend systems, APIs, and product development.

What You'll Do:
Design, build, and own production backend services primarily using Golang.
Take products and features from initial concept through development, deployment, monitoring, and scaling.
Architect scalable APIs, data models, and cloud-based distributed systems.
Build developer-facing APIs, integrations, and internal platform tooling.
Work with TypeScript, React, and Next.js across the product when needed.
Own database design, PostgreSQL schemas, migrations, and performance optimization.
Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate engineering while maintaining high code quality.
Debug complex production issues using logs, metrics, distributed tracing, and source code.
Collaborate directly with engineering leadership on architecture, security, and technical strategy.
