About the role

Leadership role as the top engineer at Roame, owning the Go backend and web app, with a focus on moving to a modern service architecture, handling money-moving flows (booking, checkout, payments), and guiding testing, reviews, documentation, and hiring.

Responsibilities

  • Own engineering at Roame. You would be the most senior engineer here, reporting to the founders.
  • Set technical direction across our Go backend and web app. We also ship a native iOS app, and every API decision has an iOS client on the other end of it. You need to account for that, not build it.
  • Finish our move to a modern Go service architecture and retire what's left of the old one.
  • Own correctness where money moves: booking, checkout, payments.
  • Set the engineering bar on testing, review, documentation, and hiring.
  • Grow into the senior most technical role at the company as we scale.

Qualifications

  • 4 to 6+ years of engineering experience, post-grad
  • Confident you're a 10x engineer, and able to tell us why.
  • Strong in Go and comfortable in TypeScript. Mobile experience isn't required, but you should think in terms of a mobile client when you design an API.
  • You've owned a system and answered for it when it broke, you understand resilience
  • You've finished a hard migration, not just started one.
  • You've shipped code that moved real money.
  • Opinions about how engineering teams should run that stuck somewhere before.
  • You want to lead without giving up writing code.
  • You understand distributed engineering
  • You understand that this is a living, breathing system; hours keep it moving; this isn’t a 40 hours a week job

Required:GoTypeScriptDistributed systems
Nice to have:React / Next.js

  • Opportunity to influence technical direction and architecture at a YC-funded startup (Roame)
