TLDR

Join the Incogni engineering team to build a scalable backend platform and drive architectural decisions while working with Go as a key technology.

Join the Incogni engineering team and help us build the next-generation backend platform powering Incogni and Ironwall at scale.   We’re looking for a senior backend engineer who thinks in systems, designs for growth, and enjoys building reliable, scalable services.   Our mission is to create a secure, scalable, and high-performance service platform that supports rapid business growth and evolving product needs. You’ll work on core systems and service architectures at the heart of our platform, with Go as a key technology.   If you want to:

  • Drive the evolution of our service platform together with senior and lead engineers;
  • Identify performance bottlenecks and scalability challenges, and propose pragmatic, long-term solutions;
  • Own complex technical initiatives end-to-end, from design to production rollout;
  • Write clean, well-tested, production-grade code while raising engineering standards across the team.
  •  
    And you can check off:
  • Strong experience building production-grade backend systems;
  • Solid understanding of software design principles, distributed systems, and API design;
  • Experience with databases, messaging systems, and service-oriented or event-driven architectures;
  • Ability to reason about concurrency, performance, and reliability;
  • Confidence participating in architectural discussions and technical decision-making.
  •  
    Bonus points if you:
  • Have experience building or scaling systems serving millions of requests;
  • Leveraged hands-on production experience with Go;
  • Developed a strong understanding of observability, reliability, and operational excellence;
  • Contributed to modernizing or evolving backend platforms.

  • Growth and learning opportunities: time dedicated to learning, conferences, online learning platforms, and books for your professional development;
  • Health and wellness: we want you to feel and be your best. That's why we offer various benefits, from online workouts, a physical coach and a gym to regular mental health checks;
  • Tools of your choice: choose technical equipment and the tools you need to do your best;
