Senior Backend Engineer – Golang
Vio.com
• Build and evolve metasearch integrations — deliver new features and improvements for partner-facing technical integrations, ensuring correctness and robustness as partner requirements change • Own and improve Meta Integrations’ core production systems end-to-end — take ownership of critical services, including on-call readiness and driving reliability improvements over time • Drive system design and technical decision-making — write design docs, review designs with peers, make pragmatic architecture trade-offs, and break down ambiguous problems into iterative delivery plans • Continuously improve performance, reliability, and cost efficiency — identify bottlenecks in throughput/latency, infra spend, and caching strategy, then ship measurable improvements • Operate in a data-informed way — leverage data engineering and analysis to validate changes, debug production behavior, and measure impact (partner performance, system health, quality metrics) • Raise the bar for the team — mentor engineers, improve engineering practices, reduce knowledge silos, participate in hiring, and influence technical direction across team boundaries
Job Requirements
- You have 5+ years of experience designing, shipping, and operating high-scale back-end services in production, including incident management and postmortems
- You are proficient with Golang and you have experience with at least two programming languages such as Go, Rust, Python, Java or Scala, or Ruby.
- You have strong distributed systems fundamentals and a track record of finding bottlenecks and improving performance, reliability, and code quality
- You can write design docs and defend architecture trade-offs clearly with engineers and product partners
- You are data-literate — comfortable with data pipelines and using data to debug production behavior and validate impact
- You thrive under ambiguity — able to take underspecified problems, break them down, and ship iterratively while keeping quality high
- You've worked in cross-functional product environments (with PM, analytics, etc.) in agile setups, not only "ticket-taking"
- You are a self-starter with end-to-end ownership mentality, intellectual curiosity, and a pragmatic team-first attitude
- You communicate clearly and concisely, especially in design discussions and stakeholder alignment
- Nice to have: Experience with external partner/API integrations, R&D/experimentation, open-source contributions, and mentoring/leading through influence.
Benefits
- Plenty of chances to learn and grow within an open, diverse culture which promotes knowledge sharing, trust and transparency;
- A great compensation package, perks and benefits (including significant stock appreciation rights);
- Flexible time off (take as many holidays as you need) and a chance to work remotely;
- You will be part of a highly international team that enjoys working, eating and playing together in one of the best office locations in Amsterdam;
- We value good food and offer catered lunches from various cuisines, great coffee, and the occasional barbecue in our garden;
- We enjoy getting together to celebrate our wins with company events in Amsterdam and abroad;
- A budget for your dream home office;
- Access to free mental health support via OpenUp.

Sharetru is a long-standing, security-first managed file transfer platform. We’re expanding beyond traditional transfers into a more modern integration and automation layer: connectors (SharePoint/Microsoft 365, email, SIEM, cloud storage), workflow-driven file movement, and reliable job scheduling—while maintaining the protocol-level depth (SFTP/FTPS/FTPeS/SCP) our customers rely on. The MFT and secure data exchange market is growing fast — driven by rising compliance requirements, ransomware threats, and the increasing complexity of data ecosystems. According to recent industry research, the MFT market is projected to exceed $4.0 billion by 2030, fueled by demand for automation, encryption, and auditability in data sharing. Organizations are shifting away from consumer-grade tools and turning to specialized platforms built for compliance and control. We’re one of them—and we’re just getting started. If you enjoy building systems that must be secure, observable, and resilient under real-world failures, this role is for you. Build the next-gen integration layer - Design and implement a connector framework (authentication, config, throttling, error handling, versioning) for systems like SharePoint/Microsoft 365, email delivery, and other third-party services. - Implement OAuth2/OIDC patterns, token refresh, secure secret storage, and least-privilege scopes. Evolve workflows + scheduling into a first-class platform capability - Build durable job scheduling and orchestration: queues/workers, retries with backoff, idempotency, state machines, and replayability. - Create workflow primitives for file movement (trigger → validate → transfer → post-process → notify → audit), including approvals and exception paths. Strengthen MFT reliability and protocol depth - Extend and maintain secure transfer support for HTTPS, FTPS, FTPeS, SCP, including troubleshooting real-world edge cases (timeouts, cipher/KEX mismatches, passive/active FTP, resumability, large file behavior). - Improve performance and correctness: resumable transfers, checkpointing, integrity verification, and failure isolation (noisy-neighbor control). Raise engineering quality - Contribute to architecture decisions, code reviews, security assessments, and performance optimization. - Improve observability (logs/metrics/traces), incident readiness, and operational tooling. - Mentor engineers and help evolve development practices.
