• Collaborate closely with product, operations, and other engineers to translate business strategy and user needs into a clear technical roadmap.
• Champion engineering excellence by improving development workflows, testing, deployment, and observability.
• Mentor other engineers, providing technical guidance through code reviews, pair programming, and design discussions.
• Lead by example in writing clean, simple, maintainable, and well tested production code.

• You have 2+ years of experience working in a senior software engineering role in a startup environment.
• You possess strong backend fundamentals and deep commercial experience with Go.
• You have extensive experience with AWS, event driven architecture and serverless infrastructure like AWS Lambda.
• You are experienced in designing and working with RESTful APIs and have a strong understanding of microservice and serverless architectures.
• You are familiar with and eager to use modern AI-powered development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) to enhance productivity and are willing to experiment with them daily.
• You are a pragmatic builder with a knack for simplifying complex systems and building scalable solutions.
• You have a product-oriented mindset and care deeply about solving user problems.
• Previous experience in e-commerce or logistics is a plus but not strictly required.
