Senior Golang Engineer

Senior Golang Engineer

• Essen or Leipzig | Remote
• Up to €90,000 + excellent benefits

The company:

We’re working with an established German software company whose products help businesses replace manual, document heavy processes with modern digital systems.

Its software supports areas including document management, secure archiving, invoice processing, contracts and HR workflows.

The company has an established product portfolio and long term customers. It is now investing in the next phase of its technology, modernising existing systems and expanding its cloud native capabilities.

The role:

They’re hiring two Senior Golang Engineers to help drive that modernisation.

You won’t be joining simply to maintain what already exists. You’ll build new cloud native services in Go, improve mature and interconnected systems and have a genuine say in how the wider platform evolves.

You’ll work across the complete engineering lifecycle, from architectural decisions and development through to deployment and production.

This role would suit an experienced Go engineer who enjoys hands on development, complex backend problems and taking responsibility beyond simply writing code.

What you’ll be doing

• Building cloud native backend services using Go
• Modernising existing services and interconnected systems
• Designing scalable, reliable and high performance architectures
• Developing new product features within an agile engineering team
• Building and integrating modern backend APIs
• Improving Kubernetes, CI/CD and engineering automation
• Owning solutions from the initial idea through to production
• Contributing to technical decisions and engineering standards
• Sharing knowledge with other engineers

What they’re looking for

• Strong commercial Go development experience
• Experience building cloud native or distributed backend systems
• Good knowledge of Kubernetes and containerisation
• Experience with cloud services and modern cloud architecture
• Hands on DevOps and CI/CD knowledge
• Someone proactive who enjoys solving difficult technical problems
• A genuine focus on software quality
• A Computer Science degree or equivalent technical training
• Very good German and good English

The role is focused on backend and cloud engineering. The wider platform also uses Java, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Vue.js and Flutter, so experience with any of these technologies would be useful but isn’t required.

What’s on offer

• Salary up to €90,000
• Permanent, full time employment
• Flexible working hours
• Flexible remote working
• 30 days’ holiday plus additional flexible leave
• Modern equipment
• Training and professional development opportunities
• Bike leasing and fitness benefits
• Employee discounts and regular company events

This is a permanent position based from either Essen or Leipzig with flexible mobile working. Very good German is essential.
