  • 3+ years of hands-on experience building REST API services in Go (preferred) or Java/C# with the ability to ramp quickly on Go.
  • Proven experience building services and deploying them to AWS in production environments.
  • Experience using AI tools for software development.
  • Strong understanding of backend architecture, API design, and production-grade service development.
  • Ability to work hybrid in McLean, VA (3 days on-site per week).
  • Ability to contribute effectively in a coding-focused interview process (coding round followed by design/behavior).

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Deep, current hands-on experience with Go for production backend services.
  • Prior experience on internal platform or enterprise software development teams.
  • Background supporting services in a consulting or professional services environment.
  • Experience with additional AWS services beyond basic deployment.

Benefits:

  • Health Insurance.
  • Dental Insurance.
  • Vision Insurance.
  • 401(k) + 401(k) matching.
  • Paid time off.
  • Referral Program.
