What We’re Looking For

We want team members who don’t just write code – they solve problems, own initiatives, and deliver high-impact results. If you’re tired of red tape and constant micromanagement, this is your place. At Severalnines, you’ll get the freedom and trust to take projects from idea to production without anyone hovering over your shoulder. You’ll be trusted to lead features, make decisions, and iterate quickly. We care about outcomes. If you’re the kind of developer who can see the bigger picture, anticipate what needs to get done, and just make it happen, we’d love to have you onboard.

Who You Are

• Energy & Experience: You embrace a growth mindset, remain curious, and are passionate about tackling complex challenges.
• Team Player: You work well with others, sharing knowledge, supporting colleagues, and contributing to a positive, high-performing team environment.
• Ownership & Delivery: You take full responsibility for your work, from start to finish, ensuring features and initiatives are delivered with quality and integrity – no micromanagement required.
• Golang Mastery: You have hands-on experience writing high-quality code in Go, leveraging concurrency patterns, and building distributed, scalable systems.
• CS Fundamentals: Solid understanding of algorithms and data structures, networking, operating systems, caching, and distributed systems.
