This role is ideal for a strong problem solver who has fully embraced modern AI-assisted development tools and can independently take ownership of complex backend work from concept through production. While the team's current backend stack includes Golang and AWS, we are far more focused on system design strength, scale experience, and AI fluency than on any single programming language. This is a senior individual contributor role, partnering closely with the team lead and helping take architectural and design work off their plate.
