About the Role

We are looking for a Lead Go Engineer who combines deep backend expertise with hands-on experience in AI/ML integration and configuration.

In this role, you will not only own the architecture and delivery of scalable distributed Go systems — you will also act as the bridge between engineering and AI capabilities, ensuring that AI/ML models and services are effectively integrated, configured, and operationalized within production backend environments.

You will lead technical decisions, mentor senior engineers, and represent engineering to stakeholders — all while maintaining a strong focus on AI-driven product features, LLM integrations, and intelligent automation.

What You Will Do

Lead the design and evolution of scalable distributed systems in Go
Own AI integration and configuration — from model selection and API integration to prompt engineering and production deployment
Translate business goals into technical roadmaps and delivery plans
Conduct architecture reviews, code reviews, and mentor senior engineers
Represent engineering in external stakeholder meetings and challenge unrealistic requirements
Drive improvements to CI/CD, observability, and engineering processes
Balance hands-on coding with team leadership and architectural oversight

What We Are Looking For

Must-Have

5–6+ years of commercial experience with Go
2+ years in a technical leadership or lead engineer role
Deep expertise in distributed systems, microservices, and Go concurrency (goroutines, channels, sync primitives)
Hands-on experience implementing, configuring, or integrating AI/ML solutions in production backend systems — including working with LLMs, RAG pipelines, OpenAI APIs, LangChain, or similar AI/ML frameworks
Experience with CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, and modern DevOps practices
Higher education in Computer Science or a related field
Readiness to work CEST hours and use a corporate laptop
Willingness to complete a live coding task in Go during the client interview
