Responsibilities
We are representing a confidential premium transportation technology company in their search for a talented backend engineer to join their mapping team. In this role, you will:
- Write high-quality, performant code primarily in Go
- Implement new microservices while helping responsibly manage and migrate away from legacy services
- Work closely with product managers, designers, and data scientists to turn abstract requirements into concrete technical designs
- Ensure systems stay responsive under heavy load, optimizing for both latency and reliability
- Process spatial data including road matching, low-latency ETA predictions, and coordinate tracking at scale
What We're Looking For
Our client needs a mid to senior-level engineer with solid backend fundamentals and geospatial experience. Specifically:
- 3+ years of experience building and maintaining scalable backend services (5+ years for senior level)

- In-depth knowledge of relational and NoSQL databases including PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis
- Experience with message brokers like RabbitMQ or Kafka
- At least 1 year of hands-on experience with mapping-related work such as processing noisy geospatial data, map-matching techniques, or road network graphs and routing algorithms
- Familiarity with TDD, DDD, and continuous integration practices
Nice to have:
- Real-world intuition for navigation systems including GPS drift, rerouting behavior, and edge cases
- Experience with routing engines like OSRM
- Proficiency in C++
- Familiarity with open geospatial datasets such as OpenStreetMap
The role is based in West London with a hybrid schedule: four days per week in office with flexible hours, plus one remote day. The client offers visa sponsorship and relocation support for qualified candidates.
