About this role

We're rebuilding our backend platform from a legacy monolith to modern Go microservices with Temporal workflow orchestration. This is an incremental migration: both systems run in parallel until we've proven correctness with real traffic. Every dollar must be accounted for and zero-downtime is non-negotiable.

We're doing this AI-first. AI is central to how we design, write, test, and migrate code. We use LLMs to analyze legacy codebases, generate migration scaffolding, write contract tests, and validate behavioral equivalence between old and new systems. How effectively you work with AI is as important as how effectively you manually write code.

*There are two open positions in our Denver office*

What You’ll Do

• Build domain services in Go that incrementally replace legacy business logic
• Design Temporal workflows for complex, multi-step business processes
• Run a strangler-fig migration: shadow-traffic test, compare responses, cut over safely
• Build resilience and observability into every service from day one
• Use AI tooling throughout
• Collaborate with product and engineering to define technical strategy

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years shipping production grade- software and backend systems. you've seen projects through from concept to launch
• Go experience, or strong backend experience in with ability to learn quickly
• Distributed systems expertise: you understand partial failure, timeouts, and resilience patterns
• Infrastructure-as-Code tools like Terraform, Helm, or AWS CDK
• Event-driven architectures and serverless design patterns
• Optimizing large-scale systems for performance and resilience
• Strong object oriented programing foundation & SQL fluency
• An productive AI workflow- you already use LLMs daily and have opinions about how to use them
• Strong communication skills- ability to work with internal and external stakeholders and cross functional teams

You'll Stand Out If You Have Experience With:

• Temporal, Cadence, or similar workflow engines
• Large-scale system migrations + optimizing for performance and resilience.
• Fintech, payments, or other regulated products/industries
• Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, Datadog
• Building custom AI-assisted development workflows or tooling
• Observability tools and practices (e.g., logging, monitoring, tracing with tools like Datadog, OpenTelemetry, or Prometheus)
