Backend Engineer

$110k - $270k

Maxana

Maxana is seeking an experienced Backend Engineer for a confidential client — a well-funded AI platform company used by ML teams globally. In this role you will own features end to end across APIs, CLI tooling, billing systems, and platform integrations. The team is small and senior, the engineering bar is high, and you will work directly with product and engineering leaders.

Key Responsibilities

  • Write clean, efficient, production-grade code in Go (Golang)
  • Build and scale APIs, CLI tools, billing systems, and security integrations
  • Set technical direction for large projects alongside engineering and product leadership
  • Evaluate and strengthen technical architecture, tooling, and processes
  • Champion software quality, drive continuous delivery, and proactively reduce technical debt
  • Mentor engineers on system design and operating in high-uncertainty environments

Requirements

  • 5+ years of production Go experience in a SaaS environment
  • Broad knowledge of backend and frontend systems — APIs, CLIs, billing, security protocols
  • Experience with cloud platforms: AWS, GCP, or Azure
  • Familiarity with containerization — Docker and Kubernetes a strong plus
  • Prior startup or high-growth company experience required
  • Must be able to work hybrid 2 days/week

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary + equity ($110,000–$270,000 range)
  • Medical, dental, and vision
  • Flexible paid time off
  • Learning and development stipend
  • Working for a globally recognized company
