Software Engineer (Golang)

Summary

The company is confidential and is seeking a Software Engineer (Golang) to support multiple compliance and risk-focused engineering workstreams. The role involves building Go-based backend services and internal tooling, integrating with third-party and internal systems, writing tests, participating in code reviews, and documenting technical decisions.

Responsibilities

• Deliver working code against scoped tickets across the program's workstreams (entity clustering, risk scoring, internal review tooling, due diligence tooling, AI-assisted review)
• Build and extend Go-based backend services — capability APIs, risk-scoring logic, data models — following existing patterns in the team's codebase
• Build/extend internal tooling surfaces used by compliance agents to review and action business-customer records
• Integrate with third-party and internal systems: identity-verification vendors, Salesforce (DD case management), Snowflake, sanctions screening and clustering services
• Write tests, participate in code review, and follow existing team conventions
• Turn around well-defined tickets quickly across shifting priorities and multiple workstreams; flag blockers, scope creep, or cross-team dependencies rather than absorbing them
• Document technical decisions clearly enough to hand off cleanly — this is a delivery engagement, so context needs to transfer without requiring your continued presence

Skills

• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, backend-leaning or full-stack
• Strong proficiency in Go— the primary backend language across this program
• Comfortable working in a modern frontend stack ( React/TypeScript, Node) for internal tooling surfaces
• Solid experience building and consuming REST APIs and integrating with third-party vendors
• Strong Git/GitHub workflow fluency (branching, PR review, code owners) and working DevOps knowledge (CI/CD pipelines, containerization/Docker, basic deployment tooling)
• Able to work independently against scoped tickets across multiple concurrent workstreams without needing deep, ongoing onboarding into service ownership
• Strong written communication — you document decisions and hand off context cleanly by default
• Ability to effectively utilize coding agents like Claude and Codex to build and review code; working knowledge of consuming MCP tools
• Comfortable in a fast-moving, ambiguous, compliance-adjacent environment
• Based in North America; able to work core Eastern Time collaboration hours
