Software Engineer 1 (Go) - Technical Platform

Our requirements

• A solid background in core programming concepts and an understanding of how software architecture fits together
• Familiarity with REST, JSON, and Microservices the building blocks of the modern web
• A working knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases
• A hunger for work with deeper meaning; not just chasing a checklist of tasks, but owning results and seeing the "why" behind the "what"
• A relentless drive to challenge themselves: ready to sharpen technical skills, participate in design sessions, and even challenge senior colleagues during code reviews (because we value fresh perspectives!)
• English at a B2 level, enabling effective global collaboration

Optional

• It’s a massive win if you’ve already navigated Web Application Firewalls or mastered why caching is the secret sauce behind high-performance systems

• A solid grasp of Unix concepts and commands to navigate our environment with precision

About the project

#goodtobehere means that:

• You will join a team you can count on - we work with top-class specialists who have knowledge- and experience-sharing in their DNA.
• You will love our level of autonomy in team organization, the space for continuous development, and the opportunity to try new things. You get to choose which technology solves the problem and you are responsible for what you create.

We rely on an internal ecosystem based on self-service and widely used tools such as Kubernetes, Docker, Consul, GitHub, and GitHub Actions.

• You will meet the Allegro Scale, which starts with over 1000 microservices, an open-source data bus (Hermes) with 300K+ rps, a Service Mesh with 1M+ rps, tens of petabytes of data, and production-used machine learning.
• You will become part of Allegro Tech - We speak at industry conferences, cooperate with tech communities, run our own blog (it's been over 10 years!), record podcasts, lead guilds, and we organize our own internal conference - the Allegro Tech Meeting. We create solutions we love (and can) to talk about!
