About the role

We are hiring a remote backend engineer to build and maintain services in Go. You will work with a distributed team across Europe time zones, so overlap with European working hours matters more than a specific office. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on writing, reviewing and operating backend code.

What you'll do

  • Design, build and maintain backend services in Go.
  • Write clear, tested code and take part in code reviews.
  • Work with APIs and data stores that support our services.
  • Debug and improve the reliability and performance of running systems.
  • Collaborate with other engineers across Europe time zones, communicating clearly in writing and in calls.
  • Take ownership of the services you build, from development through to production.

What you need

  • Professional experience building backend services.
  • Strong Go development skills.
  • Experience designing and working with APIs.
  • Comfort working remotely with a team spread across time zones.
  • Clear written and spoken English for day-to-day collaboration.

Nice to have

  • Experience with distributed systems.
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure.
  • Experience with databases and data modelling.

Apply

What happens to your application: test receives what you send here (your name, email, phone if given, your resume and your answers). If you apply with your Orbit account, only the resume you choose is shared; nothing else from your Orbit account (practice, interview help, LinkedIn, other documents) is ever shown to test. Orbit's AI reads your resume to sort applications and to explain how it matches the job's requirements; it doesn't use your name, age, gender, photo or other personal traits, and it never rejects anyone. A person at test reviews every application and makes every decision. If you aren't selected, your application is deleted 12 months after that decision, or 12 months after the job closes if no decision was made. You can ask for it to be deleted at any time from the status page linked in your confirmation email; it is deleted within 30 days of your request.
