Golang Backend Developer (Umbrella Team)

Hi there!
We are Semrush, a global IT company developing our own product – a platform for digital marketers. New stars are born here, so don’t miss your chance.
This is our role Golang Backend Developer for those who want to turn ideas into reality using code, algorithms, and maybe a bit of magic

Our stack

• Backend for main service — Golang
• Backend for the other services — Python and FastAPI
• Frontend — React, TypeScript, JS, CSS, etc.
• Infrastructure — Docker, Kubernetes, and Google Cloud Platform
• QA — Jest, pytest, Playwright

Tasks in the role

• Taking ownership of our product counter, heavily collaborating with related teams
• Understanding the role of this service, what it is currently missing, and what a bright future looks like
• Solving uncommon challenges, such as interfering with someone else’s code or build mechanism, being interested in processes, and figuring out how to make things better and more scalable in the future. There are plenty of fun things to do, and there’s always someone who can help.
• Communicating with other teams in the unit, which means helping to integrate new components, talking about innovations, and listening to and understanding other people’s problems
• Covering new functionality with unit tests and participating in the development of E2E testing
• Designing and re-launching projects such as limits and product catalog and data consumer layers

Who we are looking for

• 3+ years of commercial experience in Golang development
• Experience working with cloud environments and infrastructure
• Experience working with Pubsub or other messaging systems
• Experience working with Redis or other in-memory databases
• Understanding of TDD principles and willingness to write unit tests and E2E tests
• Being able to work independently and own your work while collaborating heavily with other teams

Not required, but a plus

• Experience in Python backend development
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes
• Experience with web servers, such as Nginx, or an understanding of how web servers work
• Good level of English

• You share our common values: Trust, because we prefer to speak up and be our true selves; Sense of Ownership, because it’s not worth wasting time on something you don’t believe in; and enthusiasm for Constant Changes, because we are always looking to make things better

A bit about the team

You can get to know the team better at one of the interviews, but some brief information about future colleagues will be useful now.

The Umbrella Team is one of the four teams dealing with billing. We focus on tasks related to Semrush products and also provide users with a convenient hub for managing their product and subproducts catalog—a showcase with all the tools Semrush has. We also take part in designing strategic solutions for the billing platform, using our experience in infrastructure projects.

There are five of us: one Technical Owner, one Product Owner, two Backend Developers, and a QA Engineer. Now, we are looking for a Golang Engineer to harness complex algorithmic operations to empower our customers to make the most out of our platform.

Our specifics:

• The team is a year old; we have a clear direction and can measure our impact on the rest of the business
• Some of our tasks solve problems not only for users but also for other development teams—we save hundreds of working hours for other teams
• Since we often make technical decisions on this or that part of the system, we have the opportunity to try new technologies and not just maintain the old code
• We pay quite a lot of attention to team and technical processes, and we believe we have managed to set them up quite well

We will try to create all the right conditions for you to work and rest comfortably

• It’s up to you to decide what work format works best for you. You can #wfo, #wfh, or mix both.

• Flexible working hours
• Unlimited PTO
• Flexi Benefit for your hobby
• Employee Support Program
• Loss of family member financial aid
• Employee Resource Groups
• Meals, snacks, and drinks at the office
• Corporate events
• Teambuilding
• Training, courses, conferences
• Gifts for employees
