About The Position

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Engine team — the core of our backend infrastructure. This is a high-ownership role on a small, senior team. You'll work directly with Go, AWS, and SQL Server to take new ideas from whiteboard to production, often end-to-end, without hand-holding at every step. If you thrive when given a problem and the latitude to solve it, this role was built for you.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • 2+ years of production experience with Go
  • 3+ years of hands-on AWS experience (RDS, Lambda, API Gateway, S3, CDK, or similar)
  • 2+ years working with SQL Server or comparable relational databases in a production environment
  • Demonstrated experience on a team of fewer than 10 engineers, or a role where individual ownership was the norm
  • Strong proficiency in Go — you've written production Go and are fluent in its idioms
  • Solid SQL Server skills — query optimization, schema design, and understanding what's happening under the hood
  • AWS fluency across the standard toolkit — RDS, Lambda, API Gateway, S3, CDK; you know how to pick the right service and build something that holds up
  • Comfort with data engineering patterns — pipelines, data movement, transformation logic, and keeping things reliable when data is messy
  • Hands-on experience with AI/LLM tooling — whether building integrations, using AI in your workflow, or both; you're already thinking this way
  • Experience thriving on a small, high-ownership team — you're used to wearing multiple hats, moving fast, and not waiting for someone else to unblock you
  • A track record of working independently — you can take a vague requirement, ask the right clarifying questions, and ship something great

Responsibilities

  • Own the full lifecycle of new features and systems — from architectural design through deployment, iteration and maintenance
  • Build and maintain high-performance backend services in Go
  • Design, query, and optimize SQL Server databases at scale
  • Architect and manage AWS infrastructure across our core stack (RDS, Lambda, API Gateway, S3, CDK, and more)
  • Build and maintain data engineering workflows — moving, transforming, and making sense of data reliably at scale
  • Collaborate directly with leadership to translate product ideas into technical solutions
  • Identify and address technical debt, scalability bottlenecks, and reliability risks before they become problems
  • Leverage AI and LLM tooling as a force multiplier — you treat these tools as a core part of how you work, not an afterthought

Benefits

  • 100% employer paid platinum medical & dental insurance
  • 100% employer paid vision insurance
  • 100% employer paid pet insurance (for 2 pets)
  • 100% paid accident/hospital/critical illness insurance through Principal
  • Employer sponsored life insurance
  • 401(k) with matching
  • FSA with company matching
  • Annual weeklong winter holiday break
  • Wellness Benefit through Holisticly
  • Paid time off for new parents
