Job Description
We are looking for a Senior Golang Engineer to contribute to the development of high-load, business-critical backend systems within the betting domain. This role requires strong hands-on Go expertise, a deep understanding of backend engineering principles, and the ability to work with complex distributed environments where performance, reliability, and data integrity are essential.
Responsibilities
Build and evolve scalable backend services in Go, focusing on system performance, stability, and maintainable engineering solutions
Contribute to key technical decisions around application architecture, infrastructure, and the long-term evolution of backend systems
Develop clean, well-structured, and testable code while maintaining strong documentation and engineering standards
Participate in peer code reviews, providing technical feedback and helping maintain consistent development practices across the team
Work with complex data flows and backend components, ensuring reliable processing and high standards of data integrity
Collaborate with other engineers throughout the development lifecycle, contributing to technical discussions, estimation, planning, and delivery within a Scrum environment
Take ownership of assigned development activities and independently organize day-to-day work in line with broader team priorities
Requirements
Strong senior-level engineering background with 7+ years in commercial software development, including 4+ recent years focused primarily on Go
Proven track record of building backend solutions specifically for betting products — relevant industry experience is essential for this role
Advanced knowledge of how Go works under the hood, with confidence working with concurrency, data structures, memory allocation, and garbage collection
Solid database engineering skills, including extensive work with relational databases and the ability to troubleshoot, tune, and improve sophisticated SQL queries
Comfortable working in Linux-based environments, with practical knowledge of containerization using Docker
Production experience with Kafka and Kubernetes as part of modern backend infrastructure
Quality-focused engineering approach, with the ability to design code for testability and maintain reliable unit test coverage
Intermediate English combined with Upper-Intermediate Russian for effective day-to-day communication
Would be a plus
Background in financial, transactional, or similarly data-sensitive systems, where accuracy and consistency of information are business-critical
Experience designing or contributing to distributed, microservice-based systems
Knowledge of architectural practices such as Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Clean Architecture, or Hexagonal Architecture
Previous hands-on work with PostgreSQL and ClickHouse
What's in it for you
Private health insurance and sports-related benefits
Paid time off and maternity leave support
Free language courses
Professional development through upskilling opportunities, internal workshops, and participation in industry conferences
Referral program with additional rewards
