About the role

What you'll do

  • Build and maintain core components of the clearing house in Go on GCP including customer onboarding flows, entitlement logic, and data ingestion pipelines
  • Take on ownership of ambiguous problems and specific features or subsystems, driving them from design through production with appropriate testing and observability
  • Work closely with staff and principal engineers to implement architectural patterns that scale
  • Write backend systems that handle unstructured data inputs from enterprise customers and produce structured, validated outputs
  • Participate in on-call rotation and contribute to incident response and postmortems
  • Become a go-to engineer for one or more core subsystems, leading multi-engineer efforts over a multi-month horizon
  • Review code, give direct feedback, and raise the team's engineering bar
  • Contribute infrastructure-as-code and operational tooling using Terraform and GCP-native tooling

What we're looking for

  • Solid backend engineering foundation — you've shipped and maintained production systems
  • Strong Go engineering skills; GCP and Terraform experience
  • You can navigate unstructured data problems (parsing, validating, deduplicating) with a methodical, analytical approach
  • Experience working in a team that prioritizes operational excellence: monitoring, alerting, graceful degradation
  • Able to scope and drive features independently with minimal oversight
  • Experience with customer-facing APIs or workflow systems is a plus
  • Security or infrastructure domain knowledge is a plus

Benefits

  • Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs
  • Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion. Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options
  • 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents
  • ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset
  • 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with the option to use it all at once or throughout your child's first year
