Job Description

We are willing to train you on Go if you’re experienced on a different tech stack (we have a 10 week internal onboarding program focused on Go, scalability etc.). Solid engineering experience and motivation to learn is more relevant than prior experience with the language. Roles open from entry level to director/principal go engineers.
