ABOUT THE TEAM

You will join a product engineering team of backend, frontend, QA, and DevOps engineers working closely with Product and Design. The team owns its services end to end: from design and implementation to deployment, monitoring, and on-call support.

Typical Tech Stack:

- Language: Go

- Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis

- Messaging: Kafka, RabbitMQ, or NATS

- APIs: REST, gRPC, OpenAPI (Swagger)

- Authentication & Authorization: OAuth 2.0 / OIDC

- Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD (GitLab CI or similar)

- Observability: Metrics, centralized logging, distributed tracing, alerting

##
