I am currently partnering with an elite engineering team building a world-class platform for decentralised and federated computing. They are solving one of the most complex challenges in modern tech: how to process highly sensitive data across global organisations without ever compromising privacy.

They are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer who wants to move beyond standard applications and help architect the infrastructure for the next generation of secure data collaboration.

• Design and evolve high-performance backend systems and APIs, primarily using Golang, with Python integrated for specific domain-driven logic.
• Build and operate software that bridges the gap between Cloud and On-premise environments, utilising Docker and Kubernetes as the backbone for portable, secure workloads.
• Take full-spectrum responsibility for features, from the initial architectural blueprint to production monitoring and scaling.
• Enhance the observability, performance, and security of services running in distributed, resource-intensive environments where data integrity is paramount.
• Work at the intersection of Engineering, ML, and Product to build cohesive, secure systems that enable "AI for good" on a global scale.
• Actively experiment with AI-assisted workflows and emerging developer tools to maintain a peak-efficiency development lifecycle.
• Lead by example through high-quality execution and active participation in rigorous code reviews to uphold engineering standards.

Requirements for the role:

• 4+ years of professional experience with a heavy emphasis on building resilient, production-grade backend systems.
• Expert-level Golang skills and the ability to leverage Python effectively within complex problem domains.
• A proven track record of deploying and debugging cloud-native workloads via Kubernetes and Docker.
• Experience with AWS (or similar) and a comfort level working with the unique challenges of hybrid or on-premise deployments.
• A strong practitioner of testing strategies, code maintainability, and secure API design.
• You thrive in fast-paced, iterative environments where you can influence technical direction and navigate pragmatic trade-offs.
• Fluency in English and a strong sense of accountability for technical outcomes and long-term maintainability.

What is in it for you?

• Competitive salary plus early-stage share options in a scaling deep-tech startup.
