- Senior Backend Engineer - Configuration Team
- Team Mission
The Configuration team is the backbone of Text. We store and manage the core data, settings, licenses, and properties that dictate how our applications behave for clients.
We build and maintain high-traffic services, public APIs (such as the Configuration API), and background processing mechanisms (Work-Queue) that teams across the entire company rely on.
We also handle feature flags and analytics proxies (Amplitude).
Our work directly impacts the core ecosystem of Text App, ensuring that client settings and cross-domain tasks function flawlessly.
About The Role
We're looking for a solid Backend Engineer (Go) with a strong sense of ownership to join the Configuration team.
This is a role for a highly autonomous engineer - we need someone who has mastered the fundamentals, brings initiative, and doesn't just wait for step-by-step instructions.
In practice, your day-to-day will be a healthy mix of driving new feature development, maintaining existing systems, and refactoring legacy code.
While Go is our primary language for new services, you will also navigate and maintain parts of our ecosystem built in Node. js as we continue our migration and refactoring efforts.
We don't do isolated, heads-down coding for months - because our services power the core of Text, priorities can shift, and you will regularly handle ad-hoc requests and cross-team collaboration.
What you'll do
- Develop, scale, and maintain backend services (Configuration API, Text App services, Integration API) primarily in Go, while also supporting and evolving existing Node. js services.
- Design and optimize relational databases (My SQL/Postgre SQL) and caching layers (Redis).
- Take full ownership of your work: from picking up a ticket in the Kanban board to deploying and monitoring it in production.
- Handle cross-team requests and build configuration pools that other engineering teams will use in their applications.
- Participate in technical discussions and architectural decisions, advocating pragmatic solutions that balance trade-offs.
- Migrate and refactor legacy systems into
