• Production experience with React and Next.js, including server-side rendering and data fetching

  
  

• Willingness to work in Go.

  
  

• Our existing production services are written in Go, and you'll maintain them alongside new development (prior Go experience is a plus)

  
  

• Experience building and consuming APIs (REST/gRPC) in a microservices environment

  
  

• Hands-on experience with relational databases (MySQL/PostgreSQL), OpenSearch/Elasticsearch or Redis, including debugging and improving query performance

  
  

• Experience owning software in production: understanding how your services behave, diagnosing issues, and improving reliability and performance

  
  

• Solid engineering fundamentals: testing, maintainable code, code quality and pragmatic system design

  
  

Nice To Have

• Production experience with AWS (ECS/EKS, Lambda, SQS/SNS, CloudFront, RDS, ElastiCache or equivalents) and containerised deployments on Kubernetes

  
  

• Experience with event-driven architectures and asynchronous processing (Kafka, SQS or similar)

  
  

• Experience with web performance (Core Web Vitals), SEO, internationalisation or right-to-left (Arabic) layouts

  
  

• Experience integrating AI/LLM-backed features into production services Experience in marketplace, classifieds, or other two-sided platform products

  
  

How You Work

• You take ownership beyond your ticket: you notice problems, suggest fixes and follow through

  
  

• You explain technical trade-offs clearly to engineers and non-technical colleagues, and use data to back up your point of view

  
  

• You give and receive thoughtful code review, and you help keep the team's quality bar high

  
  

• You're pragmatic: you ship the simple thing when that's enough, and you recognise when a problem needs more investment

  
  

• You're curious and keen to grow, and you actively look for feedback on your work
