What you'll do
•Write high-quality, performant code primarily in Go.
•Implement new microservices while helping to responsibly manage and migrate away from legacy services.

•Ensure our systems stay responsive under heavy load, optimising for both latency and reliability.
Who you are
•3+ years of experience (5+ years for seniors) building and maintaining scalable backend services.
•We use Go. If you know it, great. If not, we’ll interview you in your strongest language (Python, C++, Java, Ruby, etc.). We hire for engineering fundamentals, not syntax.
•In-depth knowledge of relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis) and 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.

•Experience with routing engines like OSRM.
•Proficiency in C++.
•Familiarity with open geospatial datasets such as OpenStreetMap.
Tech stack
•Go (primary)
•PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
•RabbitMQ, Kafka
•gRPC, Thrift
•AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform
Team and environment
•Mapping team focused on road matching, low-latency ETA predictions, and processing thousands of coordinates per second.
•Go shop with migration away from a Ruby monolith.
•Work with product managers, designers, and data scientists.
Requirements
•3+ years of backend experience (5+ for seniors).
•Proficiency in Go or demonstrated strong transition capability to Go.
•Experience with relational and NoSQL databases and message brokers.
•Geospatial/data processing experience for mapping tasks.

•Salary: £90,000 – £120,000
•Employee stock options plan
