About the Job

We are looking for a Backend Engineer proficient in Golang and TypeScript (Node.js), with hands-on experience working with PostgreSQL. In this role, you will be responsible for building and maintaining microservices, REST APIs, and WebSocket services, as well as designing database schemas and optimizing database queries.
