Staff/Senior Backend Engineer (Golang) - Admin Platform

Serbia

Easygo is an Australian technology powerhouse behind global brands Stake, KICK, and Twist Gaming. Our products serve millions of users worldwide, supported by engineering teams solving complex challenges across scalability, reliability, security, and user experience.

As we continue to expand our engineering presence in Belgrade, we're looking for a Staff or Senior Backend Engineer to join a newly forming team responsible for building KICK's internal operations platform.

About the Team

This team will create the Admin systems that help internal teams work more efficiently, safely, and consistently at scale. This platform will support critical operational workflows across Kick, giving teams better ways to manage administration and moderation processes, automate repetitive tasks, and deliver high-quality support to users.

You will help shape the architecture, foundations, and development patterns for a platform that will be extended by teams across the engineering. The team will own the core experience, access model, shared standards, and integration patterns that allow product and engineering teams to contribute functionality in a controlled, consistent, and scalable way.

This is an opportunity to help build an important platform from the ground up and define how internal operational tooling at Kick evolves as the company grows.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a Staff/Senior Backend Engineer who is excited to help build a new team and shape a high-impact internal platform.

You enjoy designing reliable, scalable systems and turning complex business workflows into clean, well-structured software. You care about architecture, clear APIs, access control, maintainability, and building platforms that other teams can safely extend.

You will work closely with engineering, product, and internal operations teams to understand needs, design sustainable solutions, and build the foundations for tools that improve how teams work every day.

As a senior engineer, you are able to:

Key Responsibilities:

  • Architect and implement high-performance software solutions in alignment with project requirements and company standards.
  • Design and build the core foundations of Kick’s internal operations platform, including scalable backend services, integration patterns, access models, and shared standards for contributing teams.
  • Shape and evolve platform capabilities from an early stage, making pragmatic technical decisions that support reliability, security, maintainability, and long-term growth.
  • Take ownership of services throughout their lifecycle while ensuring high code quality, security, and maintainability.
  • Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and operational stakeholders, clearly communicating technical concepts, trade-offs, and progress.
  • Work across different problem domains and projects over time, adapting to changing priorities and contributing to improvements of varying complexity based on business needs.
  • Actively contribute as a team player, supporting others when needed, asking questions, and participating constructively in technical discussions and decision-making.
  • Provide technical leadership through solution design, code reviews, and knowledge sharing, supporting the team's overall technical quality and consistency.
  • Communicate effectively in written and spoken English, presenting ideas clearly to colleagues and stakeholders across the organisation.

Qualifications and skills:

  • Bachelor's/Master's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
  • 7+ years of hands-on experience in software engineering, focusing on scalable system design and development.
  • Experience with Go, and familiarity with building and operating distributed systems, APIs, and shared services.
  • Proven track record of designing and modernising systems with a focus on scalability, maintainability, and system optimisation.
  • Experience contributing to technical direction through collaboration, design input, and mentorship when appropriate.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to a broad audience and work effectively with cross-functional teams.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
  • Experience debugging production applications and managing incidents.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience delivering and maintaining distributed systems at scale
  • Demonstrated a high level of autonomy and self-sufficiency in driving projects to completion.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
