Backend Engineer Remote, UK 6 Month Contract An incredible opportunity for an experienced Backend Engineer with advanced Go skills to join a prestigious tech client on a contract basis. This company is renowned for its engineering excellence - and it's not just the tech stack or the day rate that stands out. Contractors here regularly speak highly of the fast-moving, collaborative culture where autonomy, impact, and smart decision-making are front and centre. As a Backend Engineer, you'll be working on mission-critical, data-intensive applications that push the boundaries of technology, taking ownership of the full software engineering lifecycle, including design, development, and implementation. You'll join a product-focused team that works in tight feedback loops - small pull requests, quick reviews, and fast iteration. You'll be trusted to make decisions, contribute ideas, and help shape solutions that matter. This is the kind of place where engineers are encouraged to leave things better than they found them, whether it's a piece of code, a flaky test, or a README. Reporting into an Engineering Manager, the Backend Engineer will leverage modern technologies like AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, and Kafka, while also architecting and implementing microservices-based solutions in collaboration with cross-functional teams. You won't just be working through tickets - you'll be part of a genuinely collaborative environment where helping unblock teammates, sharing knowledge, and refactoring where needed is seen as valuable. Clear, readable code and practical problem-solving are key, with a strong emphasis on balancing speed and quality. Backend Engineer - Key Requirements: Significant professional experience in software development, with a strong focus on backend systems Proficiency in Go / Golang and proven expertise in AWS, Kubernetes, and Docker Experience with end-to-end software engineering, including system design and architecture Hands-on experience working on complex, data-intensive applications A product-focused mindset and familiarity with working in technology-driven organisations or start-ups Hands-on skills in Kafka, Cassandra, gRPC, and microservices architecture will also be beneficial, as well as experience contributing to open-source projects If you're a passionate Backend Engineer who enjoys working autonomously, taking ownership, and building for impact in a high-trust, high-collaboration setting - apply now! Our client is looking to onboard the right talent as soon as possible.
We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation, or age.
