Driftscale — Autoscaling Kubernetes platform for fintech workloads. We are a fully remote, async-first team and we are hiring a Backend Engineer (Go) to join our core services group.
About the role
You will own meaningful parts of our product surface, working primarily with Go and PostgreSQL. We ship small and often, write things down, and optimise for long-term maintainability over heroics. You will collaborate directly with product, design and customer-facing teams across multiple timezones.
What you'll do
- Design, build and ship features across our Go stack
- Raise the bar on PostgreSQL reliability, performance and developer experience
- Collaborate in a fully async workflow: RFCs, code review, written updates
- Own projects end-to-end, from proposal to production rollout and operation
What we're looking for
- 2–4 years of professional experience with Go and PostgreSQL
- Working knowledge of gRPC and modern engineering practice
- Clear written communication — our default mode is async and documented
- An ownership mindset: you ship it, you run it
Benefits
- Fully remote — work from anywhere in our hiring regions
- $110k–$155k annual salary + meaningful equity
- Home-office and learning budget, annual team offsite
- Generous paid vacation and local public holidays
