About the role

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build backend services: Architect and implement Go-based microservices that are performant, scalable, and reliable, supporting real-time and high-throughput workloads.
  • Own technical delivery: Lead the technical design and implementation of complex features end-to-end — from product requirements through deployment and monitoring.
  • Drive system reliability: Diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks, optimize database queries, and improve the resilience of distributed systems under load.
  • Define technical direction: Propose and drive architectural decisions for your team’s services, evaluating tradeoffs and communicating recommendations clearly.
  • Mentor and elevate: Provide hands-on mentorship to Software Engineers I, II, and III on your team and in the organization through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance.
  • Improve engineering practices: Define, advocate for, and improve best practices around code quality, testing, observability, and deployment for your team.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with Product Managers, Designers, QA, and other engineering teams to translate product goals into well-scoped technical solutions.
  • Participate in on-call rotation: Share responsibility for production incidents, contributing to root cause analysis and long-term reliability improvements.

What You Have

Experience:

  • 5–8 years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time building production Go services
  • Proven track record of owning and delivering complex, multi-component features in a team environment
  • Experience designing and operating distributed systems, microservices, or event-driven architectures
  • Strong proficiency with PostgreSQL or similar relational databases, including schema design and query optimization

Technical Skills:

  • Expert-level Go proficiency — you write idiomatic, well-tested, production-quality Go code
  • Solid understanding of API design (REST, gRPC, or GraphQL)
  • Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes)
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
  • Understanding of observability practices — logging, metrics, tracing

Working Style:

  • Comfortable working autonomously with minimal direction on ambiguous problems
  • Effective communicator who can articulate technical decisions to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience working in a fully remote engineering organization
  • Able to context-switch between deep technical work and collaborative planning

What Makes You Stand Out

  • Working knowledge of Ruby on Rails — our backend also includes significant Rails services, and cross-stack fluency is highly valued
  • Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar)
  • Familiarity with infrastructure tooling (Terraform, Kubernetes operators, ArgoCD)
  • Experience in high-traffic, real-time systems (sports, gaming, fintech, or adtech)
  • Contributions to the Go open-source ecosystem
  • Experience in the daily fantasy sports or sports betting industry
  • Experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools across the development lifecycle — coding, planning, scoping, and code review
  • Experience integrating AI tooling into engineering workflows to accelerate team productivity

Benefits

  • Company-subsidized medical, dental, & vision plans
  • 401(k) plan with company match
  • Annual bonus
  • Flexible PTO to encourage a healthy work/life balance (2 weeks STRONGLY encouraged!)
  • Generous paid leave programs, including 16-week paid parental leave and disability benefits
  • Workplace flexibility and modern work schedules focused on getting the job done, not hours clocked
  • Company-wide in-person events and team outings
  • Lifestyle enhancement program
  • Company equipment provided (Windows & Mac options)
