🚀 Go Backend Engineer (senior | * | d | f | m)

We’re looking for a Go Backend Engineer who enjoys building reliable, scalable systems, solving real problems, and working closely with people who care about what they do. No crunch time, no ego-driven culture – just clean code, meaningful projects, and true collaboration.

📍 Start: in April 2026 at the earliest
💻 Remote-first (Munich-based team)

Are you ready to join a great team and work on exciting projects in the near future? Then we’d love to hear from you!

About the role

At Turing 42, you’ll apply your skills, grow with a supportive team, and create meaningful solutions. For us, technology is never an end in itself. We build digital products and services that create real value – for our clients and their users.

As a Go Backend Engineer, you’ll design, build, and operate backend systems for long-term client projects. You’ll work in small, cross-functional teams together with product owners, frontend engineers, AI specialists, and DevOps experts.

Our backend systems are cloud-native, API-first, and often event-driven. Many projects run for years and evolve over time – just like the roles within our team.

Why join us?

At Turing 42, you’ll find:

• Purpose-driven tech projects, not feature factories
• A team culture based on trust, autonomy and support
• Zero-overtime-policy & flexible work hours
• Remote-first setup (team based in Munich, but spread all over Germany)
• Learning budget & equipment of your choice
• Open vacation policy
• Regular team events (remote & IRL)
• A deep love for open source and clean code
• Room to grow: Staying with us doesn’t mean always keep doing the same thing - many of us have completely changed our role and helped to shape it ourselves

Our values

We work in line with the Agile Manifesto and Lean principles, with people at the center. We believe in:

• 🚀 Continuous delivery of working, high-quality software
• 🔄 Embracing change as a competitive advantage
• 💬 Direct communication between team and clients
• 🌱 Motivated individuals at the center – with trust and support
• 🛠️ Technical excellence and good design foster agility
• ✂️ Simplicity by avoiding unnecessary work
• 🧠 Self-organized teams find the best solutions
• 🔍 Reflection and adjustment for continuous improvement

Application process

Our goal: A clear decision for both sides within 10 days.

1. Quick intro call (~30 min)
2. Trial work session (2–3 hrs, working in one of our teams together on an open source project)
3. Final call: your questions, contract, and next steps

No brainteasers, whiteboard coding, or trick questions. Just real collaboration. We don’t do assessments like tests or asking graph theory questions.

Our application process is fast (aim: 10 days). We’re currently looking for someone who can start as soon as possible – ideally within the next few weeks.
