Full Job Description

📋 Description

• As a Principal Backend Engineer (Golang) at Pragmatike Soluciones Tecnológicas S.L., you will play a pivotal role in shaping the backend foundations of a decentralized, energy-efficient cloud platform that challenges traditional hyperscale providers by leveraging distributed bare-metal infrastructure and advanced automation to deliver sovereign, high-performance compute for modern workloads.
• This role is critical to advancing a European deep-tech SaaS initiative at the forefront of decentralized infrastructure, where your technical leadership will directly influence the scalability, security, and reliability of a platform designed for the next generation of cloud-native applications.
• You will design and develop scalable, distributed server-side applications and microservices using Go, with a strong emphasis on system-level programming, concurrency, and performance tuning to meet the demanding requirements of a peer-to-peer (P2P) cloud infrastructure.
• You will build and optimize mission-critical backend software, focusing on robust P2P communication systems using libp2p or similar frameworks, ensuring cross-platform compatibility and consistent behavior across diverse environments including multi-cloud deployments (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• You will collaborate within an Agile/Scrum team to refine backlogs, identify risks, manage dependencies, and contribute to the full application lifecycle—from design and implementation to production operations and observability.
• You will produce clean, maintainable, and reusable code adhering to rigorous engineering standards, while actively conducting code reviews, mentoring junior engineers, and elevating the overall quality of backend engineering practices.
• You will establish and enhance backend infrastructure, including deployment pipelines, monitoring, logging, and tracing systems, to ensure reliability, fault tolerance, and rapid issue diagnosis in production.
• You will engage closely with product, design, and infrastructure teams to deeply understand end-user and platform requirements, translating them into secure, well-structured RESTful APIs and system architectures.
• You will champion best practices in software craftsmanship, influencing technical direction through strong communication and architectural judgment, and fostering a culture of ownership, autonomy, and continuous improvement.
• You will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge decentralized systems at the intersection of networking, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure, gaining deep expertise in P2P technologies, multi-cloud orchestration, and high-availability systems that are redefining the future of cloud computing.
• You will achieve significant professional growth by leading complex technical initiatives in a high-impact, innovation-driven environment where your decisions have tangible impact on a platform aiming to disrupt the cloud industry with sustainability and sovereignty at its core.

🎯 Requirements

• 5–6+ years of experience as a Senior or Lead Backend Engineer with proven expertise in building production-grade distributed systems.
• Strong hands-on expertise in Go (strongly preferred) or Java, with deep understanding of concurrency, multi-threaded programming, and software design patterns.
• Mandatory production experience with peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures, including hands-on experience with libp2p or similar P2P frameworks.
• Solid understanding of internet protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP), service-oriented architectures (REST, JSON), and ability to design secure, well-structured RESTful APIs.
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and modern DevOps practices, including observability, logging, and tracing for production systems.
• Proven track record building large-scale, high-availability, business-critical systems, with direct experience in multi-cloud deployments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and decentralized or open-source projects.

🏖️ Benefits

• Fully remote position with flexibility to work within EMEA time zones, enabling work-life balance and access to a global technical team.
• Opportunity to work on a pioneering deep-tech project at the intersection of decentralized infrastructure, cloud computing, and AI, contributing to a sustainable alternative to traditional cloud providers.
• Access to a culture of technical excellence, mentorship, and continuous learning, where engineering craftsmanship is valued and your growth is actively supported.
• Exposure to cutting-edge technologies including Go, libp2p, multi-cloud orchestration, and modern DevOps tooling in a real-world, production-scale environment.
• Inclusive and fair recruitment process committed to GDPR compliance, data privacy, and equal opportunity regardless of background, identity, or personal circumstances.
