Senior Software Engineer

Senior Go Engineer

Fully remote — Canada

You must be based in Canada and eligible to work there. Applications outside this remit will be disregarded.

My client is a fast-growing software company building at the cutting edge of AI. Their platform is used by some of the largest engineering teams around and is built around autonomous, self-healing technology that takes work that used to take days down to hours. This isn't AI bolted onto old tooling — it's a ground-up, AI-first platform, and the backend is the engine that makes it all work.

They're after a Senior Go Engineer to design, build and scale the core backend services behind the platform — distributed systems coordinating thousands of containerised agents running at enterprise scale. It's a high-autonomy role on a team that moves fast and genuinely cares about engineering quality — you'll own real parts of the system from design through to production and have a direct say in architecture.

What you'll be doing

• Building scalable, high-throughput backend services in Go
• Architecting distributed systems that coordinate containerised agents running at scale
• Building APIs and event-driven pipelines that power the platform in real time
• Working closely with the ML and AI teams to bring model outputs into production
• Owning reliability, performance and observability across your services

What you'll need

• Strong, production-tested Go — idiomatic, performant, maintainable code
• Solid distributed systems and microservices experience at scale
• Comfortable with Docker, Kubernetes and orchestration
• Event-driven systems — Kafka, NATS or similar
• Good grounding in AWS or GCP
• A track record of owning services end to end

Nice to have

• Developer tooling or test infrastructure background
• ML model integration in backend systems
• Browser automation — Playwright, Puppeteer, WebDriver
• Computer vision or web scraping infrastructure
• Experience in a high-growth product company or fast-scaling startup

Fully remote across Canada, competitive salary with equity, and a real chance to shape the engineering direction of a fast-growing AI platform.

If that sounds like you, get in touch.
