This is an exciting opportunity for you to play a pivotal role in developing and maintaining the core systems that power a major online platform, with a focus on delivering robust, scalable, and high-performance backend solutions. You will have the chance to work on either an e-commerce platform or a customer relationship management system, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to deliver business-critical features. The company offers flexible working opportunities and values knowledge sharing, teamwork, and continuous improvement. If you are passionate about backend engineering and eager to contribute to large-scale projects in a supportive environment, this could be your next career move. * Work on impactful projects that drive the success of a major online platform, contributing directly to the development of either an e-commerce or customer relationship management system. * Enjoy flexible working opportunities and a collaborative culture where your expertise in Golang, RESTful APIs, and cloud technologies will be highly valued and supported by knowledgeable colleagues. * Be part of a dependable team that prioritises quality, knowledge sharing, and professional growth through training opportunities and supportive leadership.

What you'll do:

As a Senior Backend Engineer based in Taipei City, you will immerse yourself in designing robust backend architectures that underpin either an advanced e-commerce platform or a sophisticated customer relationship management system. Your day-to-day activities will involve building reliable APIs, integrating new features into existing systems, optimising performance at every layer of the stack, and ensuring seamless operation of cloud-based services. You will collaborate with talented colleagues from various disciplines—sharing insights, reviewing code for quality assurance, and supporting each other’s growth. Your ability to independently manage complex tasks while remaining responsive to team needs will be key to your success. By leveraging your technical expertise in Golang, database technologies, containerisation tools like Docker, and modern development practices such as CI/CD pipelines or microservices architecture (where applicable), you will help shape the future of digital experiences for thousands of users. This role offers you the chance not only to solve interesting technical challenges but also to make meaningful contributions within a nurturing environment that values flexibility, learning opportunities, and shared achievement.

  • Develop, maintain, and integrate core backend systems for the organisation’s online platform, ensuring reliability and scalability across all services.
  • Continuously optimise system performance by identifying bottlenecks, troubleshooting issues, and implementing effective solutions that enhance user experience.
  • Design and implement RESTful APIs along with comprehensive documentation to support seamless integration with frontend applications and third-party services.
  • Architect and develop cloud-based platforms capable of handling complex business logic and diverse product requirements while maintaining high standards of code quality.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including product managers, frontend engineers, QA specialists, and DevOps professionals to deliver large-scale business platforms.
  • Participate actively in code reviews by following established coding standards, assisting peers in troubleshooting challenges, and contributing to overall team development quality.
  • Utilise tools such as Git for version control and Docker for containerisation to streamline development workflows and ensure consistency across environments.
  • Leverage RDBMS, NoSQL databases, and Redis for efficient data storage, retrieval, and caching solutions tailored to specific application needs.
  • Independently execute assigned tasks from design through deployment while maintaining open communication with team members to ensure timely project delivery.
  • Contribute ideas for continuous improvement of backend processes, infrastructure automation, and best practices within the engineering team.

What you bring:

To excel as a Senior Backend Engineer in this organisation’s technology team, you will bring deep hands-on experience building robust backend systems using Golang alongside strong familiarity with RESTful API design. Your background should include practical exposure to both relational (RDBMS) and non-relational (NoSQL) databases as well as caching mechanisms like Redis. You are comfortable navigating modern development workflows involving Git version control and Docker containerisation. Your interpersonal skills enable you to communicate effectively across departments—whether clarifying requirements with product managers or collaborating on technical solutions with fellow engineers. A track record of participating constructively in code reviews demonstrates your commitment not only to personal excellence but also collective progress. If you have additional experience writing unit tests or working within microservices architectures using gRPC or Kubernetes—or if you are familiar with GCP cloud services or CI/CD pipelines—these would further strengthen your candidacy. Above all else, your dependability as a teammate who values knowledge sharing makes you an asset in any collaborative setting.

  • Proficiency in Golang with proven experience developing scalable backend systems for production environments.
  • Comprehensive understanding of RESTful API design principles including security considerations and documentation best practices.
  • Familiarity with essential development tools such as Git for version control and Docker for containerisation within collaborative teams.
  • Hands-on experience working with relational databases (RDBMS), NoSQL solutions, and Redis for both persistent storage and caching strategies.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently execute complex tasks efficiently while maintaining high standards of code quality throughout the software lifecycle.
  • Excellent communication skills enabling close cooperation with cross-functional teams to achieve shared project goals on schedule.
  • Experience participating in code reviews by adhering to team coding standards; willingness to assist others in troubleshooting issues as they arise.
  • Commitment to continuous improvement through knowledge sharing sessions or mentoring less experienced colleagues within the engineering group.

What sets this company apart:

This organisation stands out for its commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace where collaboration is at the heart of everything they do. Employees benefit from flexible working opportunities designed to support work-life balance while encouraging ongoing professional development through regular training sessions. The company’s leadership is known for being approachable and supportive—prioritising employee wellbeing alongside business success. Team members enjoy access to cutting-edge technologies as they tackle meaningful projects that impact thousands of users daily.
