(Junior) Go Developer
Munich
Go / Java / PHP / C++ / Rust
I’m currently working with a well-established technology business in Munich that is continuing to expand its international platform and is looking for a Junior Go Developer to join its backend engineering team.
This is a strong opportunity for someone early in their career who enjoys building high-performance backend systems and wants to work on software used at significant scale.
You’ll join an agile development team and work closely with product, partner and engineering teams to build backend services that support the rollout of the platform into new international markets.
What you'll be working on
You’ll help develop and improve backend services that need to operate reliably across multiple countries, including:
- Building scalable backend services and APIs
- Developing services in Go
- Integrating external partner APIs
- Supporting international requirements including currencies, languages and market-specific business logic
- Creating reusable services rather than market-by-market solutions
- Improving system performance, scalability and architecture
- Taking features from technical design through development, testing and production
- Writing automated tests and maintaining high code-quality standards
- Working with monitoring and observability tools to keep services stable in production
- Using modern development and AI tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor AI or JetBrains Junie
What we're looking for
You don't necessarily need years of commercial Go experience.
The team is particularly interested in developers with strong fundamentals and experience with Go or another backend/object-oriented language, such as:
Go, Java, PHP, C++, Rust
You'll ideally have:
- A degree in Computer Science, Business Informatics, Mathematics, Physics or a similar technical subject with high marks.
- Some commercial software development experience
- A good understanding of object-oriented programming and software engineering principles
- An interest in building high-performance and scalable systems
- Strong quality awareness and a hands-on approach
- An interest in modern technologies, including Generative AI
- Good communication and teamwork skills
- Fluent German
- Good English
Why apply?
You'll be joining an established engineering environment where you'll have the opportunity to work on software operating at significant scale while still benefiting from short decision-making processes and regular release cycles.
There is plenty of opportunity to take ownership, introduce your own ideas and progress quickly as the engineering organisation continues to grow.
The position is based in a modern, centrally located Munich office, with excellent public transport connections and a strong package of employee benefits.
If you're a Junior Backend Developer looking to move into Go development, or you're already using Go and want to work on larger-scale distributed systems, I'd be happy to tell you more.
We look forward to speaking with you.
