Backend Go Developer at Hunter - Remote (Europe)

Job Description

Hunter's product team is hiring a Backend Go developer! You'll become one of the key team members responsible for moving the data side of the Hunter application forward.

We love working as a small team and don't hire frequently. So this is a rare and exciting opportunity to join the team. You'll be part of the product team alongside Bastien (head of engineering), Bernardo (Backend Go developer), Mark (Ruby on Rails developer), Chris (Designer), François, and Antoine (co-founders).

We’ve set up a great work environment for our team, focusing on autonomy and growth. We take full advantage of the fact we’re entirely remote by focusing primarily on async communication and limiting the number of video meetings. Finally, you’ll get to participate in discussions shaping the future of the product.

About the role

At Hunter, we've been working from the start with one Go application (managing all our data) and one Ruby on Rails application (responding to users' requests). This setup has allowed us to be highly productive while our team stays small. We believe in always finding the most elegant way to build our product, and Go has been the ideal language to crawl, parse, and organize billions of public web pages.

As part of a small group within a young company, you will work on various projects over time, but you can expect that:

• You'll work on our main Go codebase that gathers, processes, and provides all the data of hunter.io.
• Within a few weeks, you'll become responsible for significant projects that will improve Hunter by building new critical features in our existing services. Over time, you'll help expand our product line.
• You'll take part in improving a crawler that processes billions of pages per month ([](https://hunter.io/our-data)[https://hunter.io/our-data](https://hunter.io/our-data))
• You'll work with the rest of the product team to gradually increase the importance of NLP in our data pipelines.
• You'll get a high level of autonomy in your work and help shape future development efforts.
• You'll gather feedback from our Support team to find issues in our current system and improve it.

Hunter is a fully remote team, and this is a remote job. It is open to anyone located in Europe.

About you

• You have multiple years of experience working with Backend Development. Ideally, you have experience in Go.
• You enjoy dealing with complex problems and finding elegant solutions.
• You're confident you can have a high level of autonomy and enjoy making decisions for yourself.
• You're excited to take ownership of projects, set directions, and make calls. You're able to communicate clearly with your colleagues.
• You have experience in remote working. You're comfortable working primarily with asynchronous communication and don't need a lot of handholding or supervision.
