Our ideal candidate has some full stack development experience, skewing more heavily on the backend side.

Role Overview:

As a Mid-Level Golang Developer, you will play a critical role in building new features and products within a product that is heavily utilized by its customer base. You will work in conjunction with our engineering team to bring new product innovations to life. You'll have the opportunity to work remotely with periodic collaboration days at our Philadelphia office, balancing flexibility and team engagement. We currently meet in the office around twice a month.

Responsibilities:

• Participate actively in code reviews and team discussions to ensure high code quality and team growth.

Desired Qualifications:

• Familiarity with server-side rendering technologies (a-h/Templ) and interactive frameworks (HTMX), exposure to Islands Architecture is a plus.
• Exposure to TailwindCSS and DaisyUI or similar utility-first CSS frameworks.
• Proven ability to write clear, testable code, and a strong commitment to software quality.
• Experience in regulated industries or highly compliant environments is preferred, but is not a disqualifier.
