Job Description
A stealth-mode startup is hiring a Senior Backend Engineer (Go) for a full-time remote role. This company is building a next-generation AI-native communication platform designed to reduce noise and improve productivity in team collaboration. The backend stack includes Golang, GraphQL, and PostgreSQL, and the team is small, fast-moving, and highly technical.
This is a unique opportunity to join a well-funded early-stage team working directly with experienced founders.

They're looking for a backend engineer who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys shipping quickly, and wants to help shape the architecture and engineering culture from the ground up. You'll work on cutting-edge AI/ML integrations and have a direct impact on product direction and user experience.
