Tech Lead/Sr Backend (Go) Developer

Accountabilities

• Lead the design and development of scalable, high-performance backend applications with a strong focus on availability, reliability, maintainability, and operational resilience.


• Design and develop Kubernetes Operators using Go and the Operator SDK, implementing them as robust, production-ready microservices.


• Own backend solutions throughout their lifecycle, from technical architecture and implementation through deployment, scaling, monitoring, and ongoing improvement.


• Develop RESTful architectures and server-side services that can support complex workloads while maintaining clean, maintainable code.


• Design and implement high-availability architectures and disaster recovery strategies to improve system resilience and minimize operational risk.


• Manage and support containerized environments using Kubernetes and, where relevant, Docker Swarm, including deployment, scaling, health management, and operational troubleshooting.


• Work with cloud infrastructure to develop and maintain systems that manage and orchestrate cloud resources effectively.


• Provide technical leadership through architectural decisions, engineering guidance, code quality practices, and collaboration with other developers.


• Contribute to the evolution of backend architecture and engineering standards, balancing immediate delivery needs with long-term technical health.


• Investigate complex technical issues across application and infrastructure layers and implement durable solutions.


• Collaborate across engineering and infrastructure disciplines to ensure backend services and underlying platforms operate reliably and efficiently.

Requirements

• You have 7+ years of professional backend development experience, including at least 5 years of hands-on experience with Go.


• You have previous experience as a Tech Lead, Team Lead, or in a comparable technical leadership position.


• You have strong production experience working with Kubernetes and understand container orchestration in real-world environments.


• You have hands-on experience developing Kubernetes Operators using Go and the Operator SDK.


• You have strong backend architecture skills, including experience designing RESTful services, microservices, and highly available systems.


• You understand principles of scalability, resilience, disaster recovery, containerization, and production system reliability.


• You have experience with AWS and, ideally, a proven track record of developing and maintaining Operators that manage AWS resources.


• Experience with GCP or Azure is also valuable and demonstrates broader cloud infrastructure knowledge.


• You are proficient in modern server-side development and may have additional experience with technologies such as Node.js, Python, or Rust.


• You are comfortable working across application and infrastructure layers and can bridge backend engineering with cloud-native operations.


• You demonstrate strong architectural judgment, problem-solving ability, and a pragmatic approach to building maintainable systems.


• You communicate effectively, can guide technical discussions, and are comfortable taking ownership of complex engineering initiatives.


• You are able to balance hands-on development with technical leadership and collaboration across engineering teams.

• Opportunity to take on a senior technical leadership role combining backend engineering and cloud infrastructure.


• Hands-on work with Go, Kubernetes, Operator SDK, microservices, and modern cloud platforms.


• Significant ownership over architecture, implementation, deployment, and long-term system reliability.


• Opportunity to design and operate highly available systems with disaster recovery capabilities.


• Exposure to complex cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes-based automation.


• Opportunity to influence engineering standards, architecture, and technical direction.


• Work on technically challenging systems where scalability, resilience, and maintainability are core priorities.


• Exposure to multiple cloud environments, including AWS, GCP, and Azure.


• Opportunity to combine individual technical contribution with mentorship and technical leadership.


• Remote-friendly opportunity based in Slovenia, offering the flexibility of working within a modern distributed engineering environment.
