Golang Back-End Developer

As a Golang Developer with a DevOps mentality you know there’s no such thing as “it works on my machine”.

Intro

Lendo is one of the most successful Fintech companies in Sweden and we are now expanding the Lendo concept into new countries. Do you want to take part in this extremely fast-paced and exciting journey?

What you tell your friends you do

I am a developer at Lendo, where I build and enhance the best loan comparison platform on the market.

What you will really be doing

- Work with a brand new microservice platform written in Golang.
- Use a modern technology stack such as Kubernetes, Docker, RabbitMQ and PostgreSQL.
- Build software that is used by many customers every day.
- Optimize microservices and make them reusable for Lendo in multiple countries.
- Share your knowledge with your colleagues, discuss how to meet and solve country-specific requirements.

- Identify and keep track of metrics that tell you how your software is performing.
- Make improvements to the deployment pipeline to ensure smooth and frequent releases.
- Be creative and brainstorm ideas for ways we can further streamline our development process.

How will you be doing this

- You’re part of an agile, multidisciplinary team.
- Bring your own unique skill set to the table and collaborate with others to accomplish your goals.
- You prioritize your work with the team and its product owner, weighing both the business and technical value of each task.
- You experiment, test, try, fail and learn all the time - with one thing at a time.
