ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Backend Tech Lead (Go/Kotlin), you will shape the evolution of a high-traffic platform by leading the migration from a legacy monolith to a modern Service-Oriented Architecture. You'll define architecture, infrastructure standards, and best practices while mentoring senior engineers and guiding technical decisions across GCP, microservices, and CI/CD pipelines. This role offers the opportunity to influence backend strategy at scale, drive system reliability, and grow as a technical leader in a culture that values ownership, innovation, and engineering excellence.

WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Architectural Ownership: Lead the design of specific domains within the new Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA);
- Migration Strategy: Define the strategy for decoupling complex logic from the legacy PHP monolith;
- Infrastructure Leadership: Define standard Terraform modules and infrastructure patterns for the team;
- Mentorship: Guide senior engineers on best practices for GCP, Go, and Kotlin;
- Make localized design decisions for services (caching strategies, database choices) while adhering to the "Golden Path" meta-architecture;
- Collaborate with a partner team to integrate new CI/CD pipelines and foundational tools.

MUST HAVES
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field;
- 8+ years of backend experience with significant leadership responsibilities;
- Expert-level knowledge of Go and Kotlin;
- Deep expertise in GCP architecture, including networking, security, and scaling strategies;
- Proven track record of decomposing monoliths into microservices in a high-traffic environment;
- Strong DevOps mindset; expert in Terraform and CI/CD concepts;
- Ability to translate high-level business requirements into technical roadmaps;
- Upper-intermediate English level.

NICE TO HAVES
- Experience with Cloud Spanner;
- Background in Social Networking or high-concurrency real-time applications;
- Previous experience establishing Engineering "Golden Paths" or internal developer platforms.

PERKS AND BENEFITS
- Professional growth: Mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps.
- Competitive compensation: USD-based pay with education, fitness, and team activity budgets.
- Exciting projects: Modern solutions with Fortune 500 and top product companies.
- Flextime: Flexible schedule with remote and office options.
