About the Role

We're seeking a talented Senior Full-stack / Backend Engineer who is passionate about crafting high-performance, scalable systems in Golang. This is an opportunity to join a growing startup, where you'll be responsible for designing and implementing core backend services, while also contributing to the product frontend for our AI-enabled legal-tech platform.

What You'll Do:

• Develop and Optimize Backend Systems: Write efficient, clean, and maintainable code primarily in Golang. You'll build the core backend services, ensuring high performance and scalability.
• Architect and Scale Infrastructure: Design and implement backend REST APIs to support core product workflows.
• Enhance Performance at Scale: Utilize high-performance computing techniques and best practices in scalable computing. You'll pack bits, manage concurrency with CSP (Communicating Sequential Processes), and optimize data structures for speed and efficiency.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Work with cross-functional teams to integrate frontend and backend systems. Your role focuses on backend excellence with the ability to deliver features end-to-end including frontend, with a strong foundation in architecture.
• Innovate with Technology: Continuously learn and experiment with new technologies like Rust and C/C++, bringing new insights to our tech stack.

Who You Are:

• Experienced Full-stack/Backend Engineer: You have extensive experience with Golang and are skilled in high-performance and scalable computing, and have worked on public-facing frontend features in a React environment. You're comfortable with concepts like CSP and can easily explain why Golang maps are unordered.
• Tech Enthusiast: You bring an engineering mindset that sees software development as both an art and a science. Whether discussing bit-packing optimizations or the trade-offs in hash map implementations, you have a passion for well-crafted systems.
• Independent Problem-Solver: You have a natural drive to dive into challenges, from backend-specific optimization to scalable architecture. You can break down complex problems and provide elegant solutions without heavy external guidance.

Preferred Skills:

• Proficiency, or strong interest, in Golang, ReactJS, and TypeScript (experience with Rust or C/C++ is a plus).
• Solid knowledge of REST APIs and service-oriented patterns
• Track record for delivering end-to-end features from backend to frontend
• Strong understanding of data structures, algorithm optimizations, and memory management.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and equity options.
• A remote-first, flexible working environment.
• Opportunities to work with cutting-edge AI and contribute to the next generation of legal tech.
• A collaborative, growth-driven team of industry experts.

If you're an engineer who sees software as a craft and takes pride in building systems that scale seamlessly, we'd love to hear from you!
