Atarus have partnered with a rapidly growing YC-backed AI start-up looking to hire a Senior Golang Engineer. This is an opportunity to join at the ground floor of a company that’s already secured a strong seed round, launched with enterprise clients, and has ambitious growth plans over the next year.

There are no preset limits on salary or equity. If you’re top-tier, they’ll match it.

✅ What They’re Looking For

• 5+ years’ experience working with Go in production (or equivalent backend experience)
• Strong understanding of concurrency, distributed systems, and API design
• Experience building scalable, high-performance services
• A genuine builder mindset — someone who loves experimenting and moving fast
