Software Engineer - Backend (GO)

Who we are: We are a leader in fraud prevention and AML compliance.

Our platform uses device intelligence, behavior biometrics, machine learning, and AI to stop fraud before it happens.

Today, over 300 banks, retailers, and fintechs worldwide use Sardine to stop identity fraud, payment fraud, account takeovers, and social engineering scams.

We have raised $145M from world-class investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Activant, Visa, Experian, FIS, and Google Ventures.

Our culture:

However, we maintain a remote-first work culture. #WorkFromAnywhere • We hire talented, self-motivated individuals with extreme ownership and high growth orientation.

We believe you shouldn't have to miss your family dinner, your kid's school play, friends get-together, or doctor's appointments for the sake of adhering to an arbitrary work schedule.

Location:

You can find your productive zone and work from there.

About the Role: We are looking for a passionate Engineer to join our Application Platform Team.

We build the core infrastructure, shared libraries, and architectural standards that power Sardine’s entire ecosystem.

Why this role is different: You won’t just ship features; you will define how code is written across the company.

If you enjoy digging deep into database internals, optimizing high-load systems, and solving complex architectural challenges, this is the place for you.

What you'll be doing:

You will build the foundation that other teams rely on. • Optimize Core Systems: Analyze and improve the efficiency of our infrastructure.

You will identify and solve deep performance bottlenecks, memory leaks, and network issues. • Standardize Best Practices: Help define architectural patterns for database usage, API design, and cloud infrastructure.

What you'll bring:

You understand the trade-offs between different storage engines and consistency models. • Cloud Native: Hands-on experience with public clouds (AWS or GCP).

You understand modern cloud architecture patterns. • Event-Driven Patterns: Experience building distributed systems using message queues and event-driven architecture.
