Golang Job: Staff Backend Engineer

Odin is on a mission to drive human progress by radically transforming the way people connect, collaborate, and invest together. We want more people to participate and shape the future by voting with their money, so we’re levelling the playing field and building products for people to come together and invest in companies that the world needs. Our mission is ambitious and underpinned by our values. We're already trusted by over 5,000 angels and investors who are building for the future, and we've only just gotten started.

At Odin, we truly value the power of diversity and inclusion. We warmly invite applications from individuals of every gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, civil or family status, age, disability, and anything else that makes you who you are. Your walk of life, background and experience brings a unique perspective that matters to us, as it helps us create products that resonate with and serve everyone.

The Role

As a Staff Backend Engineer, you will set an excellent example for the team. You will challenge and drive technical discussions to help others align with the best possible decisions. You will monitor technical performance across the team and be an example of how to use roadblocks and uncertainty to succeed.

You will have our mission at the forefront of your mind as you write high-quality, well-tested, performant code and implement changes to our systems and frameworks. Additionally, you will work closely with the front-end engineers to design and build APIs.

Through your delivery, you will clearly communicate and translate complex business needs into granular technical implementations. By owning the end-to-end execution, you will architect systems and build with reliability and security at the core.

Our Tech Stack

At Odin, we build and host our products using modern and reliable technologies that our team knows and trusts. Our tech stack includes Golang on the backend and React.js and Typescript on the frontend, all deployed over AWS.

Your Experience

Must have

• You've had a successful track record as a Staff or Senior Engineer within another company and can articulate and demonstrate your development over time
• You promote a dev-ops culture. You have worked in a CI/CD environment and are meticulous in delivering high-quality code, automated testing, and other engineering best practices.
• You have a deep level of understanding and experience in architecture, security and/or infrastructure
• You can articulate how you hold yourself and others to high bars of technical excellence
• You can communicate clearly and give great examples of where you've been able to help engineering teams figure out the why, the what, and the how, and that you're also able to do on problems of complexity and scale

Nice to have

• You have experience working with Golang
• You have a strong understanding of BDD and DDD; practical experience is a bonus

Your Location
