Software Engineer – Go/Golang Backend | Cybersecurity PlatformPosition Type:Full-Time, RemoteWorking Hours:U.S. Business HoursAbout the RoleAt Pavago, one of our clients is hiring aSoftware Engineer specializing in backend developmentto help build and scale the infrastructure powering a modern cybersecurity platform.This isnot a basic CRUD development role.
You'll work on technically challenging systems involving:Go/Golang backend servicesHigh-volume security data processingDistributed and event-driven systems100+ third-party integrationsScalable APIs and data pipelinesCloud infrastructureMulti-tenant data architectureIf you enjoy solving complex backend, infrastructure, and integration problems at scale, this role offers strong technical ownership and impact.What You'll OwnBackend Engineering – Go & APIsBuild and maintain backend services primarily usingGo (Golang).
Design scalable REST APIs and internal microservices.Implement authentication, rate limiting, retry mechanisms, fault tolerance, and robust error handling.Write maintainable, production-ready code designed for reliability and scale.Diagnose performance bottlenecks and improve backend efficiency.Enterprise IntegrationsBuild and maintain integrations across100+ enterprise systems.Work extensively with REST APIs, OAuth, webhooks, and external services.Design integrations that remain reliable as data volume and customer usage scale.Troubleshoot integration failures and improve resilience.Implement monitoring and observability around integration health.Event-Driven Systems & Data PipelinesDesign event-driven architectures for processing security data.Build pipelines for data ingestion, transformation, and enrichment.Work with asynchronous processing, messaging systems, and distributed workflows.Ensure high-volume data can be processed reliably and efficiently.PostgreSQL & Data ArchitectureDesign scalable data models for multi-tenant applications.Work extensively withPostgreSQL.Design schemas and optimize complex queries.Improve indexing and database performance.Support both operational and analytics-oriented data requirements.Maintain data integrity as the platform scales.Cloud Infrastructure & ObservabilityDeploy and operate services across cloud environments,



withGoogle Cloud Platform (GCP)preferred.Work with scalable compute, managed storage, and messaging infrastructure.Implement monitoring, logging, and observability.Diagnose production issues and improve system reliability.Contribute to infrastructure and platform scalability initiatives.Architecture & Platform DevelopmentCollaborate with Product, Security, and Engineering teams.Participate in architecture decisions and technical design reviews.Identify opportunities to improve platform reliability, scalability, and maintainability.Contribute to AI-powered security workflows and automation initiatives.Required Experience & SkillsStrong professionalbackend software engineeringexperience.Proficiency inGo/Golang, or strong experience withPython, Java, or TypeScriptwith willingness to transition to Go.Experience building production APIs and distributed backend systems.Strong relational database experience, ideallyPostgreSQL.Experience with at least one major cloud platform:GCPAWSAzureHands-on understanding of:REST APIsWebhooksAuthentication systemsAsynchronous processingDatabase design and optimizationStrong debugging and problem-solving abilities.Ability to independently own technical problems through resolution.Strong written and verbal communication skills.Nice to HaveExperience with any of the following is highly valuable:OAuthEvent-driven architecturesMessage queues and asynchronous systemsDistributed systemsHigh-volume data pipelinesMulti-tenant SaaS architectureCybersecurity platformsSIEM systemsIdentity and access managementEndpoint security platformsStartup or high-growth engineering environmentsAI/LLM-powered applications and workflowsCore Technology StackBackend:Go / GolangDatabase:PostgreSQLAPIs:REST, OAuth, WebhooksCloud:GCP preferred; AWS/Azure relevantArchitecture:Microservices, distributed systems, event-driven processingInfrastructure:Messaging systems, monitoring, logging,



observabilityWhat Makes You a Strong FitYou're likely to succeed if you:Prefer backend and systems engineering over frontend/UI development.Have built production systems designed for scale.Understand that integrations need to handle failures, retries, rate limits, and changing external APIs.Care about clean architecture and long-term maintainability.Think deeply about reliability, performance, and observability.Can troubleshoot complex production issues systematically.Take ownership without requiring constant direction.Enjoy fast-moving, engineering-heavy environments.What a Typical Day Looks LikeYou may spend your day:Building and shipping backend services in Go.Designing an integration with an external enterprise platform.Debugging a production integration or data-processing issue.Optimizing PostgreSQL queries and indexes.Improving API reliability and performance.Building or refining event-driven data pipelines.Reviewing architecture decisions with other engineers.Improving monitoring and observability.Supporting AI-powered security and automation workflows.In short:you'll build the scalable backend infrastructure, integrations, and data systems that power a modern cybersecurity platform.Key Metrics for SuccessBackend reliability and uptime.API latency and performance.Scalability under increasing workloads.Reliable processing of high-volume security data.Reduced third-party integration failures.Database and query performance.Platform stability and maintainability.Quality and speed of engineering execution.Why This Role Stands OutWork onreal distributed backend systems, not basic application development.Solve challenging integration problems across 100+ enterprise systems.Build infrastructure supporting high-volume cybersecurity data.Work across APIs, databases, event-driven architecture, and cloud infrastructure.Exposure to AI-powered security workflows.Strong technical ownership in a fully remote environment.Growth opportunities into:Senior Backend EngineerSenior Go EngineerPlatform EngineerSystems ArchitectInfrastructure LeadInterview ProcessInitial Phone ScreenTechnical InterviewPractical Backend/API AssessmentCross-Functional InterviewOffer & Onboarding#J-*****-Ljbffr
