Senior Software Engineer - Golang
AI Summary
Builds and maintains internal services in Go, owning design through production, debugging issues, and collaborating with European clients on a home and living platform.
About this role
About Us:
We are the Colombo-based team behind some of Europe's hottest scaleups — engineers who don't just get assigned to a project, they get folded into the team. Same standups, same Slack channels, same "let's ship this by Friday" energy — just based in Sri Lanka instead of Stockholm, Berlin or Denmark.
Think: less "outsourced developer," more "the engineer, the founders in Europe actually know by name."
Client:
They're where people land when the keys are finally theirs and the living room is still echoing. A home and living platform across continental Europe and Brazil — 100,000+ pieces of furniture and accessories from over 500 suppliers.
But it's not just a big catalogue. They use data to figure out what actually fits your space and your taste, then hand you the recommendations and inspiration to go with it.
Position:
You'll build the internal services the whole business leans on — in Go, end to end, yours from first design to 2am production fix. The people using what you build sit right there, so feedback comes fast and unfiltered.
Your Responsibilities:
Develop high-impact internal services that solve major challenges in the business
Take end-to-end ownership over what you build: design, implement, ensure quality, operate and extend
Debug issues in production, perform root cause analysis and apply fixes in a timely manner
Collaborate closely with the internal clients to ensure high-impact and direct feedback
Your Profile:
5+ years of industry experience, at least 2 years of experience building and deploying scalable applications/services in Golang
Committed to delivering high-quality, production-ready code
Skilled in implementing and maintaining RESTful, HTTP APIs
Power user of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot), integrating agentic workflows into design, implementation, testing, and review to deliver higher-quality code at significantly greater speed
Familiar in cloud-based infrastructure (preferably AWS) and containerizing applications (Docker)
Well-versed in continuous integration, test automation, and delivery processes
Hold a BSc or MSc degree in Computer Science
Enjoy teamwork as well as sharing knowledge and best practices
Excellent communication skills and experience working in cross-functional teams
Fast learner, passionate about emerging technologies, and are able to adapt easily to a rapid pace
What you get:
Real impact — your work ships, people use it, you see it happen
A team that's actually good at what they do, and actually cares about doing it well
Ideas get heard here — good ones win, regardless of who's title is on them
Room to grow — into your role, into new ones, into whatever's next
Work from the office, work from home, work from wherever gets you in the zone
Bring someone great, get rewarded for it
Thursday snacks that are worth showing up for 🍔
Team events, after-works, and the occasional group activity that has nothing to do with work 🏂🏼
