Senior Software Engineer (Go)

Responsibilities

We are representing a confidential fintech organization seeking a Senior Software Engineer (Go) to work on established, high-volume services that sit at the heart of a cloud-native payment platform. These are critical systems where reliability, resilience and operational excellence matter every single day.

• Designing, building, and running cloud-native microservices in Go that are the backbone of a real-time payments platform
• Building systems that are highly available, low-latency, and scalable, handling billions of payment requests with precision and resilience
• Taking full ownership of services: from initial design and implementation to deployment and production support
• Working with a mindset where cost-efficiency, observability, and operational excellence are core to how you build
• Collaborating closely with other engineers in a flat, autonomous team structure, with a strong focus on code quality, simplicity, and continuous improvement
• Working with modern tooling and technologies such as Golang, Kubernetes, CockroachDB and NATS JetStream in a highly automated DevOps environment
