What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team building high-load, event-driven backend systems in Go, especially in payments or financial infrastructure. I enjoy designing distributed systems, improving reliability and performance, and driving architecture decisions while working closely with product and engineering teams.

Key areas:

- Payment systems and PSP integrations

- High-load backend services

- Distributed systems design

- Event-driven architectures

- Workflow automation (Camunda / BPMN)

- Golang microservices

- Performance and reliability engineering

Currently open to Senior Backend Engineer roles — remote or based in Spain.
