Senior Go Software Engineer in United States at Jobgether

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Senior Go Software Engineer in the United States.

This role sits at the intersection of backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, and scientific innovation, where your work directly enables researchers to run and manage complex experiments remotely. You will design and build highly scalable backend systems that power APIs, data services, and real-time scientific workflows used in advanced laboratory environments. The position offers the opportunity to work on technically challenging distributed systems while collaborating closely with scientists and engineers solving real-world research problems. You will contribute not only to product development but also to engineering standards, architecture decisions, and system reliability practices. The environment is fast-moving, highly collaborative, and deeply technical, with strong emphasis on ownership and impact. This is a hands-on senior role where your decisions will shape both platform scalability and scientific capability.

• Design, develop, and maintain high-performance backend services and APIs using Go, Python, or Rust, ensuring scalability, security, and reliability across distributed systems.
• Collaborate with scientists, designers, and engineers to translate complex laboratory and research workflows into robust technical solutions and production-ready software.
• Contribute to architectural and product direction, helping define system design, feature development priorities, and long-term technical strategy.
• Ensure high availability and reliability of cloud-based services through observability practices, monitoring, incident response, and participation in on-call rotations.
• Review code, troubleshoot performance and security issues, and promote best practices in software engineering, testing, and maintainability.

• 8+ years of backend engineering experience building production-grade software systems, ideally in fast-paced startup or scaling environments.
• 6+ years of hands-on cloud development experience, particularly with AWS, along with strong understanding of distributed systems architecture.
• Strong experience with SQL and/or NoSQL databases, including data modeling, performance tuning, and large-scale data handling.
• Full lifecycle software development experience, from design and implementation through deployment and ongoing maintenance.
• Solid problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work independently while contributing to team-wide engineering decisions.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field is required.
• Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and modern observability tooling is highly desirable.

• Competitive compensation aligned with senior-level backend engineering roles.
• Fully remote flexibility within the United States.
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge systems at the intersection of cloud computing and scientific research.
• High-impact engineering environment with strong ownership and technical influence.
• Exposure to modern infrastructure tools including Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, and distributed system architectures.
• Collaborative, research-driven culture focused on innovation and technical excellence.
