Senior Backend Developer Full Remote (EU only)

About the company

At Jobtome - https://weare.jobtome.com/ - 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)

Tech stack

You will work with (and are expected to be comfortable with):

• Go (Golang)

• API design (GraphQL and/or REST)

• PostgreSQL (or similar relational databases)

• BigQuery and other NoSQL databases

• Distributed systems and service-oriented architectures

• Docker and CI/CD pipelines (Gitlab pipelines preferred)

• Cloud infrastructure mindset (GCP or other providers)

• Observability tools (logging, metrics, tracing)

• Testing (unit and/or integration)

• Kubernetes

Nice to have points:

• Working experience with Python

• Exposure to Protobuf and Grpc

What We’re Looking For

We consider "senior" someone who can:

• Work independently without needing perfect specifications

• Take ownership of complex features and systems

• Make informed architectural decisions and explain trade-offs

• Write clean, maintainable, and well-structured code

• Proactively identify problems and propose solutions

• Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Raise the overall quality bar of the team through example and reviews

Working model

• Full remote, EU only

• Core hours with flexibility outside of them

• Daily working language: English
