Senior Backend Engineer (Go) (m/w/d)

Your tasks

What you'll work on

In this role, you will:

• Own a domain inside our core Go codebase, contributing to architecture decisions and code quality within your area
• Work inside a well structured system with some standalone services around the edges, including an on premise gateway for hospital integrations, rather than a sprawling microservices estate
• Step in and keep things moving when your lead is away, taking ownership with confidence rather than waiting for instruction
• Contribute to pull requests, reviews, and technical discussions as a trusted senior voice on your team

We have several products in development that we are confident will significantly impact the German healthcare system. And yes, we're excited by the new opportunities AI unlocks for building powerful features for our customers and our own workflow.

• We use both CircleCI and GitHub Actions to run our unit and integration tests, visual regression tests built in house, and automated code analysis through SonarCloud. They're also used to deploy to our various environments.

We also dedicate some of our time to work on non business tasks, which means for instance:

• Continuously optimising the backend code to offer the best user experience
• Analysing and improving database slowdowns and issues
• Internal automation, because we want to make our lives easier
• Building additional tooling, such as performance profiling tools to identify bottlenecks in backend services and optimise resource usage

Our philosophy is that developers are owners of the code they write until it gets to production. We rely a lot on automated tests to ensure everything stays stable. The rule is that code could be deployed at any time, and manual QA is only involved in new feature validation.

Your responsibilities as a Senior Backend Engineer will include

• Technical Ownership. Own a domain inside our Go codebase, contribute to architectural decisions and code quality within your area, identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies and suggest or implement improvements.
• Stepping Up When Needed. Be ready to take charge of priorities and keep things moving if your lead is away, supporting and mentoring other engineers along the way without needing to manage a team.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration. Work closely with product and design to translate business needs into technical solutions, and communicate technical progress, risks and trade-offs clearly.
• Delivery. Ship reliably against the team's roadmap, help break down features into deliverable tasks, and identify and remove blockers as they come up.
• Building With AI.

What you will need to succeed as a Senior Backend Engineer:

• We are looking for experienced developers. You have a CS degree or equivalent knowledge, and you have been coding full time professionally for 4 to 5 plus years
• We're looking for someone with production experience in Golang, or another C family language with a real, demonstrable ability to operate in Go without hand holding
• You have some experience supporting or mentoring other engineers, and you are looking for a strong individual contributor role rather than a path into people management
• You want to become a technical owner of part of our codebase. We need people who are looking for responsibility, just not a team to manage
• You are a clear, confident communicator, comfortable being put on the spot in a conversation and able to think out loud rather than defaulting to async only communication when something needs a real time answer
• Since Product and Engineering work in a fully remote setup, writing skills matter more and more, so written questions, requirements, and docs are genuinely valuable
• You should be comfortable and excited to dive into more advanced topics, for example build pipelines, caching mechanisms, and database optimisation
• Since we're a small team, we want to automate a lot. You should have experience with CI and testing frameworks
• You are proactive and proficient across the entire product development flow, asking questions, clarifying specs, raising doubts, and engaging in meetings
• Healthcare experience is a bonus, not a requirement. FHIR, HL7, or DICOM exposure is great to have, but we have hired strong engineers from fintech, insurtech, and other compliance heavy domains with zero healthcare background who did just fine
• You are genuinely excited about what AI can do for engineering. We don't expect every line of code to be AI generated, but we do expect curiosity and a real point of view on where this is heading

This is what you can expect from us

• Work with Purpose. Your work has a real impact on patients and healthcare professionals in the medical field.
• Corporate Culture. We embrace structures that foster high performance and strong team dynamics. Our interactions are characterized by mutual respect, loyalty, and recognition. We work together towards common goals and expect the same from you.
• Flexibility. Would you like to pick up your child from daycare? Do you enjoy exercising during lunchtime? We support you in achieving that balance. Besides flexible working hours, as a remote-first company we offer the flexibility to work 100% remotely from Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland, France and Austria.
• Edenred card, which you can use in the way that suits you best.
• Extra Day Off on Your Birthday, so you can celebrate with your loved ones.
