Go Backend Engineer

We're growing the backend for a B2B SaaS platform: a Go monorepo covering the core API service, shared internal libraries, and DB migrations. It handles auth, billing/subscriptions (Stripe), and admin tooling, with PostgreSQL, Redis, and a documented REST API (OpenAPI spec).

Stack: Go 1.26, PostgreSQL (pgx), Redis (caching, distributed locks), gorilla/mux, JWT auth, Stripe SDK, Squirrel query builder, Goose migrations, Docker/Docker Compose, AWS SDK. Deployed via Docker containers; tests run in CI via GitHub Actions.
You'll work directly with our frontend developer on a small, fast-moving team: no bureaucracy, no lengthy approval chains, just building.
