GO BACKEND ENGINEER AT SNAPPYCX

About Company:

We are a leading company specializing in omnichannel customer support, committed to delivering top-quality customer experiences at affordable prices. With a team of passionate professionals dedicated to your product and brand, we utilize advanced metrics and tools to ensure maximum efficiency throughout the customer support journey.

Job Description:

• Build the Core API: You will design, build, and maintain our fast, scalable, and secure API using Go (Golang).
• Handle High Concurrency: This is the core of the job. You will build the services that handle thousands of simultaneous connections from our desktop apps, ensuring every "ping" is processed instantly and efficiently.
• Own the Database: You will design and manage our PostgreSQL database schema, writing efficient, safe queries and ensuring data integrity. (Losing a user's time entry is a mortal sin).
• Manage Authentication & Billing: You'll build the systems for secure user authentication (JWTs, etc.) and integrate with payment processors like Stripe.
• Collaborate & Define: You will work directly with the founder and our frontend (Svelte/Tauri) engineer to define API contracts and shape the product's technical roadmap.

Requirements:

We're Looking for Someone Who:

• Is a Backend Expert: You have proven, professional experience building and shipping high-performance, API-first backends.
• Loves Go (Golang): You have real-world experience writing production-level Go. You're comfortable with goroutines, channels, and building concurrent applications.
• Knows Their Database: You are proficient with PostgreSQL (or a similar relational database) and understand how to write optimized queries and design a scalable schema.
• Is a Self-Starter: You are a disciplined, product-minded engineer who can take an idea, architect a solution, and build it without hand-holding.
• Cares About Reliability: You're the kind of person who thinks about edge cases, writes tests, and believes that a 500ms response time is "slow."

Qualifications and Skills:

Bonus Points (We'll Be Really Excited If You):

• Have built and scaled an API to handle thousands of requests per second.
• Have experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, etc.) and Docker.
• You embrace AI tools such as Claude Code + Cursor.
• Have built billing systems with Stripe before.
• Can show us a GitHub profile or personal project you're proud of (especially if it's in Go).
• Have an interest in Svelte or Tauri, just so you know what your frontend counterpart is building.

Why You'll Love Working With Us

• Build From Scratch: No legacy code, no technical debt. You get to architect the entire backend right, the first time.
• A Modern Stack You'll Love: Use the best tools for the job (Go, PostgreSQL, Svelte, Tauri). This is a high-performance stack you can be proud of.
• Massive Impact: You are not a cog in a machine. As a founding engineer, your work will define the technical foundation of the company for the next 10 years.
• Solve Interesting Problems: This isn't just another CRUD app. You'll be solving real, high-concurrency challenges from day one.
• Flexible & Focused Team: We're a small, hybrid team based in Ibadan. No bureaucracy, no pointless meetings. Just building.
