Senior Software Engineer (Go)

We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join the team as a core contributor, owning significant parts of the backend behind these capabilities. The role is backend-first and Go-centric, but you'll also touch the React front end when a feature calls for it - so comfort moving across the stack matters. Quality is a shared responsibility here: our QA partner owns most test automation, but team members regularly pitch in to keep automation coverage moving and avoid bottlenecks.
​How will you make an impact?
Design and develop functional and technical capabilities within Chiron's large-scale, distributed backend systems, making ongoing architecture and design decisions
Take full ownership of features and product areas end-to-end: architecture, coding, testing, CI/CD, and production observability
Build and operate distributed microservices - gRPC/REST APIs, message queues, PostgreSQL-backed services - deployed on Kubernetes
Build and maintain React components/pages (e.g., risk tables, single-risk views) that consume your backend services when a feature requires front-end changes
Partner with our QA team on test automation - pitching in on backend automation in Go and front-end automation in Cypress when needed - to help keep coverage moving and reduce bottlenecks
Use AI-assisted coding tools as part of your day-to-day development workflow, from writing and reviewing code to test generation and debugging
Work smoothly with local and remote, multi-geo R&D and non-R&D teams, maintaining high visibility and effective communication
Provide in-depth technical knowledge, guidance, and mentorship to other team members as needed
Participate actively in design discussions and code reviews, holding the team to high execution and quality standards.
