Your Tasks Will Be:
• Design and implement high-throughput REST APIs using Gin
• Build Temporal workflows and activities for complex, multi-step data pipelines
• Create robust validation logic for YAML DSL against ontology schemas
• Integrate with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Delta Lake data stores
Key Patterns You'll Work With:
• YAML DSL → Temporal Workflows: parse declarative pipelines and generate durable execution plans
• Multi-tenant isolation: namespace-level separation, RBAC via Keycloak
Our Ideal Candidate Has:
• Strong production experience with Go
• Strong understanding of distributed systems and microservices patterns
• Experience with workflow orchestration: Temporal, Cadence, or similar
• Proficiency with PostgreSQL and schema design
• Experience building high-throughput REST APIs

• Solid understanding of concurrency patterns in Go: goroutines, channels, context
• Experience with Docker and basic understanding of Kubernetes/container orchestration
• English – intermediate level or higher
• Russian – advanced level or higher
Nice To Haves:
• Background in OSINT, threat intelligence, or security domain
• Experience with MongoDB and document databases
• Familiarity with Delta Lake or data lakehouse patterns
• Kubernetes deployment and operations experience
• Experience with gRPC alongside REST
What We Offer:
• Remote-first setup: work from anywhere in the world, except Russia and Belarus
• Work on a greenfield, technically challenging product: distributed system at scale
• High degree of ownership: influence architecture, reliability, and engineering practices
• Strong engineering culture: code reviews, clear boundaries, focus on maintainability and observability
• Direct collaboration with senior technical stakeholders: engineering leadership, product
We are an equal-opportunity employer and are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment for all candidates.
