Description

Senior Backend Engineer (Golang & AI Automation)

Location: Seattle, WA (Hybrid) or Remote (US-based) Job Type: Full-time Salary Range: $140,000 – $180,000 / year

The Opportunity

EQL Edtech is exclusively recruiting on behalf of our partner client: a high-growth, seed-stage startup based in Seattle that is redefining the future of work.

Imagine a world where complex professional workflows are automated simply by recording a screen. Our client is building the engine that makes this possible—transforming simple video inputs into fully automated, robust workflows using advanced AI.

This is a "ground floor" opportunity. As a Senior Backend Engineer, you won't just be closing tickets; you will be the architectural right hand to the CTO. You will define how the platform scales, how the AI integrates with the backend, and how the infrastructure handles complex, event-driven tasks.

The Mission: What You’ll Build

You will be responsible for the nervous system of the product. Your code will turn abstract AI concepts into reliable, scalable, and secure software.

• Architect the Core: Drive the end-to-end design and development of backend services, primarily using Golang (with some Python). You will prioritize high scalability and reliability for a system that never sleeps.
• Build for Automation: Design and evolve APIs and integration logic. You will balance the startup need for rapid iteration with the engineering discipline required for robust, maintainable systems.
• Own the Infrastructure: Take the lead on infrastructure-as-code using Terraform on AWS/ECS. You will make the critical decisions regarding performance, security, and deployment pipelines.
• Innovate with AI: Partner directly with the Founding Team to implement AI-driven product features and distributed architectures. If you are interested in Event-Driven Systems (e.g., Temporal), this is your playground.

Requirements

The Toolkit You Bring

We are looking for a builder who thrives in the ambiguity of a seed-stage environment. You don’t wait for perfect specs; you ask questions, propose architectural solutions, and ship.

• Experience: 7+ years of backend engineering experience.
• Tech Stack: Deep proficiency in Golang is essential. Proficiency in Python is highly preferred.
• Infrastructure: Strong grasp of Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) and AWS cloud services (ECS, Lambda, etc.). Familiarity with modern CI/CD pipelines is a must.
• Architecture: A proven track record of delivering large-scale APIs, microservices, or event-driven systems in a B2B SaaS environment. Experience with Temporal is a massive plus.
• Mindset: You have a history of ownership. You have led complex projects from concept to deployment and can translate business goals into technical realities.

Benefits

Why Join Our Partner?

• High Impact: You are joining at the seed stage. Your code and architectural decisions will directly shape the product and the future trajectory of the company.
• Top-Tier Healthcare: Comprehensive medical (Platinum PPO), dental, and vision coverage—100% paid for employees, plus subsidized coverage for dependents.
• Flexibility: A "best of both worlds" setup. Work fully remotely, or utilize the vibrant office space in Seattle if you prefer in-person collaboration.
• Competitive Compensation: A salary range of $140k–$180k, commensurate with experience and location.
