Here are our core values: Mission Livestorm is at an inflection point. We know the direction we want to take the product, but we don’t have everything figured out and that’s by design. We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer who will help us shape the Livestorm of the future: someone who thrives in ambiguity, defines the “how” when only the “what” is loosely sketched, and brings the technical excellence to make it real. This is a high-agency, high-impact role. We’re moving towards a service-based architecture, and you’ll work across the engineering organisation to design and build the backend systems that make that evolution real: scalable, cost-efficient, and built to last. You’ll have a direct hand in defining architecture, establishing best practices, and raising the bar, not just in the code, but in how the team works. At Livestorm, Product, Design, and Engineering work as one, and you’ll collaborate closely with all three to turn ambiguous problems into clean, well-reasoned technical directions. We’re building with Go, and we’re looking for someone who can write excellent Go, whether that’s your primary language or you’re a strong backend engineer who’s ready to make Go your home.

Where exactly you land, whether embedded in a product squad, helping form a new team, or working across multiple teams, will depend on what Livestorm needs and what you bring to the table. Livestorm’s Tech & Product org is around 30 people. The engineering culture is collaborative, transparent, and product-minded. You’ll work closely with Product Managers, Designers, and fellow engineers who care deeply about what they ship.
