About the role
Join the innovative Executive Risks Experience team, where you'll collaborate closely with front-end engineers while primarily focusing on developing and enhancing the underlying back-end services that are essential to our projects. As a core contributor, you will ensure the effective integration and performance of our microservices within a Golang-based back-end environment.
While you'll be embedded within a team proficient in front-end technologies such as React and TypeScript, your primary focus will be on back-end development tasks. You will play a crucial role in designing systems that manage complex business rules, ensuring they deliver precise and efficient solutions. Your work will include developing robust APIs that seamlessly integrate with front-end applications using GraphQL for back-end-for-frontend interactions.
In addition to your back-end responsibilities, you may occasionally contribute to front-end tasks, making smaller changes as needed to support the overall project goals. This flexibility and adaptability enhance our team's ability to deliver comprehensive solutions efficiently.
We prefer to use the right tool for the job and make pragmatic decisions about how to scale and decouple systems as we continue to grow. We are looking for someone who can navigate a cloud environment (AWS) with many moving pieces and systems to help the team understand how they fit into the broader puzzle.
