Go Backend Engineer at SnappyCX

What You'll Be Doing

• Build the Core API: You will design, build, and maintain our fast, scalable, and secure API using Go (Golang).
• Handle High Concurrency: This is the core of the job. You will build the services that handle thousands of simultaneous connections from our desktop apps, ensuring every "ping" is processed instantly and efficiently.
• Own the Database: You will design and manage our PostgreSQL database schema, writing efficient, safe queries and ensuring data integrity. (Losing a user's time entry is a mortal sin).
• Manage Authentication & Billing: You'll build the systems for secure user authentication (JWTs, etc.) and integrate with payment processors like Stripe.
• Collaborate & Define: You will work directly with the founder and our frontend (Svelte/Tauri) engineer to define API contracts and shape the product's technical roadmap.

We're Looking for Someone Who:

• Is a Backend Expert: You have proven, professional experience building and shipping high-performance, API-first backends.
• Loves Go (Golang): You have real-world experience writing production-level Go. You're comfortable with goroutines, channels, and building concurrent applications.
• Knows Their Database: You are proficient with PostgreSQL (or a similar relational database) and understand how to write optimized queries and design a scalable schema.
• Is a Self-Starter: You are a disciplined, product-minded engineer who can take an idea, architect a solution, and build it without hand-holding.
• Cares About Reliability: You're the kind of person who thinks about edge cases, writes tests, and believes that a 500ms response time is "slow."
