About the role
Responsibilities:
- AI-Assisted Development: Use AI tools (Cursor, Copilot, ChatGPT/Claude) to quickly write clean Go code, build API endpoints, and implement user-facing features.
- Automated Testing: Leverage AI tooling to generate robust unit and integration tests, ensuring high test coverage before code review.
- Bug Fixing and Debugging: Use AI-assisted troubleshooting to diagnose issues, trace logs, and resolve bugs across the application.
- Continuous Learning: Rapidly ramp up on internal codebases and third-party libraries by using LLMs as an interactive mentor and documentation assistant.
- Collaboration: Work closely with senior engineers and actively incorporate code review feedback to refine AI-generated solutions.
Requirements:
- 2+ years of production backend experience with any programming language, preferably Go.
- AI-First Workflow: Demonstrated habit of using modern AI tools to code faster and learn new paradigms effectively.
- Core CS Fundamentals: Solid understanding of data structures, OOP concepts, algorithms, and Git.
- Databases and APIs: Good working knowledge of relational databases (PostgreSQL) and building REST APIs.
- Critical Eye: Ability to understand every line of AI-suggested code before committing, rather than blindly accepting completions.
- Education and Mindset: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (or equivalent); proactive problem-solver eager to learn and ship quickly.
