Workload: full-time, fully remote Start: asap, but can be discussed Duration: long-term cooperation Location: any English: Strong proficiency in English (Upper-intermediate level or Advanced)!
Details: - CRITICAL: AI-first delivery: proven, demonstrable experience using Claude Code or similar agentic AI tools is a hard must (specific examples expected on the application). - Senior Golang Developer, 5+ years of experience; can potentially consider really strong candidates with 4 years of experience - Hands-on engineering position - Not a people-management role - CRITICAL: Lead part: Demonstrable experience of leading delivery within a team: coordinating, breaking work down, representing the team in planning and stakeholder conversations, facilitating outcomes. Someone who has been the de facto tech lead in a squad for several years without ever holding the formal title is absolutely fine too. - CRITICAL: Strong proficiency in English (Upper-intermediate level or Advanced)
Role description: We are looking for a highly capable Lead AI-First Golang Engineer to join a project where you’ll build an AI tourism platform. This is not a traditional coding role. We don’t need coders; we need engineers who build features end-to-end using AI coding tools. You’ll use Claude Code and other AI tools to 10x your output, always thinking about how the product or feature you are working on benefits the user. Also, we have no QA team — you OWN the quality of what you ship!
Regarding Lead responsibilities: ● This is not a people-management role: no one-to-ones, no performance reviews, no coaching responsibilities. ● Every engineer involved in the project already owns their work end-to-end (IC + DRI), so this role is not about “more ownership”. ● A Lead is the spokesperson, coordinator, and facilitator for their pod, internally with product, design, and leadership, and externally with clients. You think product-first, contribute meaningfully in product planning sessions, and represent your pod in those rooms. ● You remain a hands-on backend engineer. The spokesperson, coordination, and facilitation work sits on top of your IC contributions, not instead of them. Expect the majority of your week to still be engineering.
What you’ll actually do: ● Own features end-to-end: from specs to deployment to fixing bugs ● Use Claude Code to generate Golang backend code ● Review AI output for quality and architectural fit ● Fix bugs to learn our codebase, then rapidly build new features ● Make quick decisions on what to build vs buy vs generate with AI ● Talk to customers when they report issues, and ship fixes the same day
Additionally, at the Lead level: ● Be the spokesperson for your pod, internally with PMs, designers, and leadership, and externally with clients and partners ● Coordinate work across the pod: break initiatives into chunks, sequence them, surface blockers, and facilitate hand-offs ● Represent your pod in product planning sessions and bring a strong product-driven point of view to scoping and trade-offs ● Join client meetings when needed to gather context, align on requirements, and report on delivery
