This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Senior Software Developer (Go) - US Instant Payments in Netherlands.

In this role, you will help build and evolve mission-critical real-time payment systems powering next-generation US instant payment schemes. You will contribute to the design, development, and operation of distributed, cloud-native microservices built for high availability, performance, and resilience. Working within a fully remote, globally distributed engineering team, you will collaborate closely with senior engineers and product experts to deliver production-grade systems that are preparing for live customer onboarding. You will also take ownership of features and services end-to-end, from design through deployment and ongoing support. This is a hands-on engineering role where reliability, clean architecture, and operational excellence are essential. You will also participate in on-call rotations, ensuring the stability of systems that cannot fail.

• Contribute to the design, development, testing, and deployment of distributed systems supporting real-time US payment schemes such as FedNow and RTP.
• Build and enhance cloud-native microservices on a multi-cloud platform, ensuring scalability, resilience, and high performance in production environments.
• Participate in system operations, including monitoring, incident response, and on-call rotations to maintain service reliability.
• Collaborate with engineers, product teams, and stakeholders to define technical solutions and deliver features end-to-end.
• Improve infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines using modern DevOps practices, including automation, containerization, and test-driven development.
• Support production readiness activities as products move toward customer launch, ensuring robustness and operational excellence.

Requirements:
• Strong experience in software engineering with production-level development in Go (or a strong willingness to specialize in Go).
• Solid background in designing and building distributed systems, microservices architectures, and event-driven systems.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or GCP), containerization technologies (e.g., Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with testing practices such as TDD/BDD and strong appreciation for clean code and engineering best practices.
• Ability to take ownership of projects end-to-end, including deployment, monitoring, and production support.
• Strong communication skills with a collaborative mindset and comfort working in distributed, remote-first teams.
• Experience with observability tools, infrastructure as code, or payment systems is a plus.

Benefits:
• Fully remote-first working model across eligible locations.
• Competitive compensation package with additional benefits depending on location.
• Opportunity to work on critical, real-time financial infrastructure at global scale.
• Strong engineering culture focused on autonomy, collaboration, and technical excellence.
• Modern tech stack with cloud-native tools and best-in-class infrastructure practices.
• Career development opportunities within a high-growth, mission-driven engineering organization.
• Inclusive and diverse work environment with strong emphasis on flexibility and well-being.
