We are currently looking for a skilled Senior Golang Developer (m/f/d) to join the backend team of our Shop Applications Unit onsite in Hamburg or remote within the EU.

The Shop Applications Unit constantly improves the App, Mobile Website and Desktop Website. These big-scale products are each visited by several million people every month. Our highly scalable API updates and delivers our product data for our shop frontends in real-time – in peak times with up to millions of requests per minute! In that case, it truly matters if an API call takes 200ms or 50ms to ensure the best shopping experience.

- Develop a gRPC API in Go that encapsulates core business logic in a simple to use API for our frontend developers
- Improve scalability and technical performance of our API and its response times
- Work on a high-scalable product in the AWS ecosystem
- Draft architectural decisions together with our Tech Lead and explore new technologies
- Have a direct impact on team processes by regular agile retrospectives
- Exchange your knowledge with other developers and be part of our ABOUT YOU TECH community

Who you are
- You have 5+ years of experience in building complex backend API’s
- You are very proficient in Go development
- You have good knowledge of Elasticsearch and indexing products
- You have experience in working with relational databases (e.g. MySQL) and key-value stores (e.g. Redis)
- You write well-structured, efficient and maintainable code and actively keep the quality of the codebase in check
- You have excellent analytical and problem-solving skills and enjoy building scalable distributed systems
