What they actually want (must-haves)
  • Extensive experience building and scaling backend services in Go in high-traffic, high-volume SaaS environments
  • Proven ability to design distributed microservice architectures, including asynchronous processing (Kafka, SQS), low-latency service communication (gRPC, ConnectRPC or GraphQL) and long-running or resource-intensive workloads with queueing, backpressure and retry strategies
  • Deep AWS knowledge (EKS, S3, Lambda) alongside solid relational database skills, ideally Postgres: schema design, query performance and handling growth
  • Strong production discipline: observability, performance profiling, debugging live systems, code review and automated testing
  • Comfortable owning and documenting architectural decisions
  • Good written and spoken English
Nice to have
  • Media processing experience such as video transcoding, audio synthesis or vector manipulation
  • AI infrastructure experience: model serving at scale, GPU-accelerated workloads, integrating third-party or open-source generative models into production, and cost optimisation for compute-heavy jobs
  • Background in a startup or other fast-moving, distributed environment, with an interest in helping shape product direction
