The Role
You will build and fix backend services in Go, taking well-scoped tickets from design to production with the senior backend engineers beside you. The role is full-time and in person in our Chennai office, and reports to the Director of Backend Engineering. It is a junior role: you are trained, every change is reviewed by a senior engineer, and you take on more each month. This is an immediate need. At 3 to 6 months, you should be shipping scoped backend changes to production on your own, reviewed but not hand-held, and handling small production fixes.
What you'll do
- Ship scoped backend tickets — implement APIs and service changes in Go, from ticket to production
- Write tests and clear pull requests — say what changed, why, and how you tested it
- Fix production defects — trace bugs through services and data with a senior engineer, and fix the cause
- Work with the database — write and review PostgreSQL queries and schema changes with a senior engineer
- Learn how the platform fits together — services, data feeds, billing and customer events, through reviews and pairing
- Follow the release process — take your changes through code review, QA and release the way the team does
What we're looking for
Must-haves:
- 1+ years building backend services, in a job, an internship or a project you can show
- Working knowledge of Go, from work or a project you can show
- Can write SQL against a relational database such as PostgreSQL
- Has used Git and pull-request code review
- In person in our Chennai office, 5 days a week
Nice-to-haves:
- PostgreSQL schema design (adds the ability to handle data changes sooner)
- REST APIs and webhooks, for example payment gateway integrations (adds speed on billing work)
- Automated tests in Go (adds confidence in every release)
- Docker and CI pipelines (adds ease with our build and release setup)
- Interest in trading, brokerage or fintech products (adds speed in learning our domain)
