About the company
At Jobtome - - we are a HR Tech company building modern web applications used by companies to manage complex hiring and recruitment workflows at scale.
Our products are highly interactive, data-driven, and designed for real-world usage, not demos.
We work with a strong product mindset, short feedback loops, and a pragmatic engineering culture focused on quality, ownership, and long-term maintainability.
The role
We are looking for a Senior Golang Backend Developer to join our engineering team and take ownership of critical backend systems and services.
You will work on the design, development, and evolution of backend services that power our products, contributing to architectural decisions, improving system reliability, and shaping how backend engineering is done across the company.
This is a hands-on senior role: you will write production code every day and be deeply involved in technical and architectural decisions that have real impact.
What you will do
* Design, develop, and maintain backend services written in Go
* Build and evolve APIs (GraphQL and/or REST) that support complex product workflows
* Work on and design scalable, reliable, and maintainable backend architectures
* Collaborate closely with frontend engineers, product managers, data engineers and designers
* Contribute to data modeling, business logic, and performance optimization
* Perform code reviews and participate in architectural and technical discussions
* Improve code quality, testing strategy, observability, and system resilience
* Actively work on refactoring, technical debt, and long-term improvements
* Take ownership of backend features from design to production
* Actively participate in Agile ceremonies (planning, stand-ups, retrospectives)
