Job Openings at SnappyCX

• We have made a deliberate choice to build our entire backend in Rust(Go background can apply as well). We believe reliability, memory safety, and raw performance are not just features; they are our foundation. We are building a system that will be blazing fast, handle massive concurrency, and will not crash.
• This is a rare opportunity to be one of our first two engineers, architecting the entire backend from the ground up as part of a Go/Rust stack.

What You'll Be Doing

• Build the Core API: You will architect, build, and maintain our high-performance, memory-safe API using Rust/Go.
• Handle High Concurrency: This is the core of the job. You will use async/await and a modern framework (like axum, actix-web, or tokio) to handle thousands of simultaneous connections from our desktop clients flawlessly.
• Embrace "Fearless Concurrency": You will write code that is free from data races and safe by default, ensuring our users' time data is always processed with perfect integrity.
• Own the Database: You will design our PostgreSQL database schema and use a Rust-native library (like sqlx or sea-orm) to write efficient, type-safe queries.
• Manage Authentication & Billing: You'll build the secure systems for user authentication 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:

• Loves Go/Rust: You have professional or significant personal project experience in Go/Rust. You can show us code you've written and are proud of.
• Understands Go/Rust's Core: You are comfortable with Go/Rust's key concepts.
• Is a Backend Generalist: You are a product-minded engineer who can take an idea, architect a solution, and build it, from the database to the API endpoint.
• Cares About Reliability: You're the kind of person who believes in the compiler and thinks that a bug is a failure of the type system, not just a mistake.

Bonus Points (We'll Be Really Excited If You):

• Have contributed to open-source Go/Rust projects or crates.
• Have strong experience with axum, sqlx, or sea-orm.
• You embrace AI tools such as Claude Code + Cursor.
• Have experience building and scaling high-concurrency, real-time systems.
• Have a strong opinion on Go/Rust's web framework ecosystem.

Why You'll Love Working With Us

• Build From Scratch: No legacy code, no C++ bindings (unless you want to), no technical debt. You will build it right from day one.
• Massive Impact: You are not a cog in a machine. As a founding engineer, your work will define the technical foundation of the company for the next 10 years.
• Flexible & Focused Team: We're a small, hybrid team based in Ibadan. No bureaucracy, no pointless meetings. Just building.

• Our entire backend will be a high-concurrency API built in Go, designed to handle millions of requests from our desktop clients with near-zero latency. We believe performance is a feature, and we're looking for an engineer who feels the same way.
• This is a rare opportunity to be one of our first two engineers, architecting the entire backend from the ground up.

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."

Bonus Points (We'll Be Really Excited If You):

• Have built and scaled an API to handle thousands of requests per second.
• Have experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, etc.) and Docker.
• You embrace AI tools such as Claude Code + Cursor.
• Have built billing systems with Stripe before.
• Can show us a GitHub profile or personal project you're proud of (especially if it's in Go).
• Have an interest in Svelte or Tauri, just so you know what your frontend counterpart is building.

Why You'll Love Working With Us

• Build From Scratch: No legacy code, no technical debt. You get to architect the entire backend right, the first time.
• A Modern Stack You'll Love: Use the best tools for the job (Go, PostgreSQL, Svelte, Tauri). This is a high-performance stack you can be proud of.
• Massive Impact: You are not a cog in a machine. As a founding engineer, your work will define the technical foundation of the company for the next 10 years.
• Solve Interesting Problems: This isn't just another CRUD app. You'll be solving real, high-concurrency challenges from day one.
• Flexible & Focused Team: We're a small, hybrid team based in Ibadan. No bureaucracy, no pointless meetings. Just building.
