Staff Backend Engineer (Go) ID -2750
About the position
At Netlify, our engineers are at the core of our mission to build a better web. We aim to create a better experience for developers globally by reducing friction and giving them autonomy, agency, and power so that they can innovate at the speed of light. We anchor our engineering teams around self-sufficient teams to drive developer productivity and enable us to scale, conquer, and divide. Netlify has been remote-first since our inception and we're globally distributed, spanning across North America and Europe. We're biased towards asynchronous planning and communication and take documentation seriously, meaning fewer meetings and more execution! As a Staff Engineer at Netlify, you'll work with a smart set of team members who are very motivated to keep learning and continuing to grow each other in a supportive way. We have a blameless culture where we solve problems as a team and everyone works together towards a common goal. Our mission is to build a better web, and you'll be joining the team that is responsible for globally delivering the web via a fault-tolerant distributed system. We focus on serving requests through a reliable edge infrastructure. Our customers expect their websites to be delivered everywhere with high availability and low latency. We solve problems across product development, infrastructure, and operations, serving everyone from large businesses such as Peloton and Verizon to small startups and nonprofits. Our challenges span the entire stack: from the way we cache the responses to safely executing custom user code within milliseconds, as close to the user as we can. We operate at scale, with daily traffic levels rising to hundreds of thousands of requests per second. We're responsible for the infrastructure for our services as well as the services themselves.
