Software Engineer (Go)

Regional offices in Lausanne and five other cities support agents and policyholders.

Job summary

Our headquarters is in Lausanne, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. This is a full-time remote role.

• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.

Required qualifications

• 2+ years of professional software development experience.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.
