Middle Backend Engineer (Go)

the position Want to build backend systems that people actually depend on every day - not just ship features that disappear into a backlog? This is not a typical backend role where you maintain legacy services and close tickets in a vacuum.

You’ll join a lean, high-ownership team building data-driven products used by millions of users.

About BlueThrone BlueThrone acquires and scales profitable mobile apps.

We don’t build from zero; we buy apps with strong potential and turn them into category leaders through better product decisions, smarter monetization, and disciplined user acquisition.

Today, our portfolio serves millions of monthly active users across multiple verticals.

We’re profitable, independent, and growing through disciplined bets - not hype.

We operate without layers or slow approvals.

We are a lean team of A-players where execution matters more than fancy titles.

And we care about one thing: building things that move the needle.

The role We’re looking for a Product-Minded Backend Engineer to join a high-stakes team.

Your primary focus will be a platform helping users track complex government processes in real-time - but as a multi-product company, you should expect to move across domains as the business evolves.

We're looking for someone who's excited by that, not intimidated.

This isn’t "glue code." You’ll tackle real challenges: unreliable external data sources, event-driven pipelines, analytics at scale, and keeping a high-dependency system reliable.

We need someone who thinks beyond the ticket - you should care about why a feature exists, not just how to implement it.

Responsibilities • Build & Scale Go Services: Develop high-performance REST APIs for mobile clients and gRPC for internal communication.

Requirements • 2 - 4 years of commercial Go experience: You’ve built production systems that handle real traffic.

NOT just side projects. • Strong PostgreSQL skills: You understand indexing strategies, transaction isolation, and can read a query plan.

We treat automation as a default, not an experiment. • Infrastructure Comfort: Hands-on with Docker, CI/CD, and deploying what you write.

Nice-to-haves • Experience building or working with analytics engines - computing aggregations, time-series data, or serving analytical queries at scale.

Benefits • Zero "Corporate Architecture": We don’t have layers of middle management or 4-hour "alignment" meetings.

You’ll have a direct line to product impact and the freedom to build things the right way. • High-Intensity Growth: We’ve achieved more in 25 months than most companies do in a decade.

If you want to move from "Middle" to "Senior Product Engineer," there is no faster vehicle than BlueThrone. • AI-First Culture: We don’t just tolerate AI; we demand it.

You’ll be encouraged (and expected) to use the latest tools to automate the boring stuff so you can focus on hard engineering. • Ownership is Reality: You aren't just a cog.

You’ll own entire product domains, propose your own solutions, and see your code used by millions of people in real-time. • Extreme Flexibility: We are remote-first and results-oriented.

We don't care about your hours; we care about your output and your ability to ship reliable systems • Equal opportunities for everyone 💖
