Software Engineer – Go/Golang Backend & Distributed Systems | Cybersecurity Platform | Remote
Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours
About the Role
At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a Software Engineer specializing in Go/Golang backend development to build and scale the infrastructure powering a modern cybersecurity platform.
This is not a basic CRUD development role. You’ll work on technically challenging backend and infrastructure problems involving high-volume security data, distributed systems, event-driven architectures, 100+ enterprise integrations, scalable APIs, PostgreSQL, cloud infrastructure, and multi-tenant data architecture.
You’ll have meaningful ownership over the systems that ingest, process, enrich, and move security data across the platform while improving reliability, performance, scalability, and observability.
If you enjoy solving complex backend, infrastructure, data, and integration problems at scale, this role is a strong fit.

What Makes You a Strong Fit
You’ll likely thrive in this role if you:
•
Prefer backend and systems engineering over frontend/UI development
•
Have built production systems designed for scale
•
Enjoy working with Go or want to make it your primary backend language
•
Understand that integrations must handle failures, retries, rate limits, and changing external APIs
•
Think carefully about distributed systems and asynchronous processing
•

•
Enjoy fast-moving, engineering-heavy environments
What a Typical Day Looks Like
Your day may begin by reviewing system health, integration performance, or an issue affecting production data processing.
Throughout the day, you could build and ship backend services in Go, design an integration with an enterprise platform, troubleshoot a production integration, optimize PostgreSQL queries and indexes, or improve API performance.
You may also build or refine event-driven data pipelines, review architecture decisions with other engineers, improve monitoring and observability, or contribute to AI-powered security and automation workflows.
In short: you’ll build the scalable backend infrastructure, integrations, APIs, and data systems that power a modern cybersecurity platform.
