About the role

Join the Incogni engineering team and help us build the next-generation backend platform powering Incogni and Ironwall at scale.

We’re looking for a senior backend engineer who thinks in systems, designs for growth, and enjoys building reliable, scalable services.

Our mission is to create a secure, scalable, and high-performance service platform that supports rapid business growth and evolving product needs. You’ll work on core systems and service architectures at the heart of our platform, with Go as a key technology.

If you want to:

  • Design, build, and evolve high-traffic, business-critical backend services (primarily in Go);

  • Lead and influence architectural decisions — from domain modeling and service boundaries to infrastructure and deployment strategies;

  • Drive the evolution of our service platform together with senior and lead engineers;

  • Identify performance bottlenecks and scalability challenges, and propose pragmatic, long-term solutions;

  • Own complex technical initiatives end-to-end, from design to production rollout;

  • Write clean, well-tested, production-grade code while raising engineering standards across the team.

And you can check off:

  • Strong experience building production-grade backend systems;

  • Solid understanding of software design principles, distributed systems, and API design;

  • Experience with databases, messaging systems, and service-oriented or event-driven architectures;

  • Ability to reason about concurrency, performance, and reliability;

  • Confidence participating in architectural discussions and technical decision-making.

Bonus points if you:

  • Have experience building or scaling systems serving millions of requests;

  • Leveraged hands-on production experience with Go;

  • Developed a strong understanding of observability, reliability, and operational excellence;

  • Contributed to modernizing or evolving backend platforms.

Here's the deal:

  • Growth and learning opportunities: time dedicated to learning, conferences, online learning platforms, and books for your professional development;

  • Health and wellness: we want you to feel and be your best. That's why we offer various benefits, from online workouts, a physical coach and a gym to regular mental health checks;

  • Tools of your choice: choose technical equipment and the tools you need to do your best;

  • Community and celebrations: get ready for long-lasting traditions such as yearly workation, Friday get-togethers, various team buildings and company celebrations;

  • Convenient commuting: traveling from point A to point B can be a pain. That’s why, depending on your unique circumstances, we compensate part of your public transport costs;

  • Work-life balance: We encourage working in the office, with the possibility of up to two remote days per week. Plus, with our WFA policy, you can work from almost anywhere in the world;

  • Premium Surfshark accounts: for you, your family, and friends;

  • Gross salary: 6000 - 7200 Eur/month for the Lithuanian market, 24000-33400 PLN/month for the Polish market. It may vary depending on your skills and experience.
