The Role

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join the Product Engineering team at GoGlobal. The team builds and maintains our core product and platform.

We have a big roadmap and not enough people to deliver it. We need a senior engineer who ships reliably, influences technical direction, and raises the bar for the team. This is an individual contributor role — no people management.

The immediate focus is a large API-first platform revamp.

Our stack is Typescript (in a more functional style), Postgres, Redis and Kubernetes, Prometheus, Tempo, Loki, for infrastructure and observability).

We love using AI to help to extend the engineers, and we love people use AI smartly

The hiring process continues in basically 4 interviews:

  1. A quick call with one of our recruiters to get to know you and give you clarity on the hiring process, if both parties want to move ahead you will receive an interview guide for the technical interviews.
  2. An interview with the hiring manager (your possible leader)
  3. A system design interview - where we are going to observe your architectural skills
  4. A Coding with AI interview - where we will provide an environment with Claude Code (no necessary experience with Claude, though) for you and will observe how you use AI to help you deliver good software.

Please make sure to check the job requirements.
