• Experience working with containerized applications using Docker
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automated software delivery
• Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools as part of daily engineering work, while critically validating generated output and maintaining responsibility for security, privacy, testing, and code quality
• Experience debugging production systems and performing root-cause analysis
• Comfortable working with logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, and monitoring systems
• Understanding of common distributed-system challenges such as partial failures, retries, idempotency, race conditions, timeouts, and eventual consistency
• Experience working collaboratively with Engineering, Infrastructure, Product, or Platform teams
• Ability to communicate technical decisions clearly and challenge solutions constructively
• Previous experience building software for cloud providers, infrastructure platforms, hosting companies, developer platforms, or similar technical environments
• Strong knowledge of cloud infrastructure concepts including compute, networking, storage, virtualization, provisioning, or orchestration

• Previous professional experience with PHP and Symfony is valuable, particularly for engineers comfortable working across an evolving codebase
• Experience contributing to architectural decisions or mentoring other engineers

What the job involves

• We are looking for a Mid-Level Software Engineer (Go) to help build and scale the software layer behind Plenit’s cloud platform
• Plenit is growing both in product surface and technical complexity. Our platform connects infrastructure, automation, partner workflows, provisioning, billing, APIs, and customer-facing services across multiple countries and thousands of workloads
• As we scale, we need engineers who can build reliable backend systems that remain simple to operate, easy to evolve, and resilient under increasing load
• You will join a multidisciplinary engineering team responsible for designing, building, and maintaining the services that power Plenit’s platform
• Go is becoming an increasingly important part of our backend architecture, particularly for services where performance, concurrency, scalability, and operational simplicity matter
• This is not a role where you will only implement tickets
• You will be expected to understand the problem behind the feature, participate in technical decisions, challenge assumptions, design solutions, and take responsibility for what you put into production
• You will work closely with Software Engineering, Infrastructure, Product, UX, and other technical teams to solve problems that often sit between application software and real cloud infrastructure
• You should be comfortable reasoning about APIs, distributed systems, asynchronous workflows, databases, observability, failures, and production behaviour
• And most importantly, you should care about building software that keeps working when the easy assumptions stop being true
• Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs primarily using Go
• Build reliable software that supports Plenit’s cloud services, internal platform capabilities, and partner-facing products
• Design scalable and maintainable services capable of supporting increasing volumes of users, workloads, devices, and infrastructure operations
• Work on systems involving provisioning, orchestration, automation, lifecycle management, integrations, and asynchronous workflows
• Design clear and stable APIs that can be safely consumed by other Plenit services, frontend applications, partners, and third-party integrations
• Participate in architectural and technical design decisions, balancing scalability, maintainability, delivery speed, and operational complexity
• Design efficient data models and access patterns using relational databases and other storage technologies where appropriate
• Work with event-driven architectures, message queues, background processing, and distributed workflows
• Build software with production reliability in mind, including graceful failure handling, retries, idempotency, timeouts, concurrency, and observability
• Write maintainable, well-tested code and contribute to strong engineering standards around testing, code reviews, documentation, and deployment
• Investigate production incidents, identify root causes, and implement improvements that prevent recurring issues
• Improve the performance and reliability of existing services as the platform scales
• Contribute to the migration and evolution of parts of our existing platform architecture toward Go-based services where it provides clear value
• Work closely with Infrastructure teams to understand the real systems our software controls and avoid building abstractions disconnected from operational reality
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering leads to turn business and partner problems into technically sound solutions
• Participate actively in code reviews, technical discussions, engineering planning, and continuous improvement initiatives
• Help simplify our architecture wherever possible. We prefer understandable systems over unnecessary sophistication
• Own the software you build through its full lifecycle: design, development, testing, deployment, observability, maintenance, and evolution
