Senior Golang Engineer

Fully Remote | Outside IR35 | Immediate Interviews

Most Go contracts are either maintaining Legacy systems, sitting in endless meetings, or spending months waiting for decisions.

This isn't one of them.

We're looking for a Senior Golang Engineer to join a small, highly capable engineering team building and modernising business-critical platforms used by thousands of customers.

You'll be working on genuinely interesting engineering challenges across cloud-native applications, distributed systems, APIs and platform modernisation projects, with the freedom to get stuck into the technical work rather than fighting process.

If you enjoy building things, improving systems and solving problems, you'll probably enjoy this role.

What you'll be working on

  • Building scalable applications and services using Go
  • Modernising Legacy platforms and helping shape future architecture
  • Developing APIs and microservices used by customer-facing applications
  • Working with modern cloud environments and DevOps tooling
  • Collaborating with product, engineering and design teams to deliver new functionality
  • Improving performance, reliability and maintainability across existing systems

What we're looking for

We're not looking for someone who ticks 25 boxes.

The key things are:

  • Strong commercial Golang experience
  • Experience building APIs and microservices
  • Cloud experience (AWS and/or Azure)
  • Experience working in modern engineering environments

It would also be useful if you've worked with:

  • React
  • C#/.NET
  • Angular
  • Kubernetes
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Legacy modernisation projects

Why people tend to like this sort of role

  • Fully remote
  • Outside IR35
  • Small engineering team where your work actually matters
  • Modern technology stack
  • Interesting technical challenges
  • Fast interview process
  • Opportunity to shape solutions rather than simply maintain them

If you're a Golang engineer who enjoys building software and wants a contract where you'll actually be trusted to make an impact, we'd love to hear from you.
