Salary

€/£80,000–110,000 per year (flexible depending on location and experience) ### About GoGlobal GoGlobal is a privately-owned global workforce solutions company operating across 180+ countries. We help organisations hire, pay, manage, and remain compliant wherever their people are — spanning Employer of Record, multi-country payroll, HR services, global recruitment, and international expansion consulting.

The engineering problems we face are genuinely hard: multi-jurisdiction payroll rules, real-time compliance enforcement, HRIS integrations at scale, FX handling across dozens of currencies. The work matters. Your code affects how people get hired and paid across the world. ### What this role can offer you -

High-ownership work from day one.

A focused team, a serious roadmap, and the expectation that you influence technical direction — not just execute tickets. -

A modern, opinionated stack.

TypeScript end-to-end, with Effect for the service layer. We take type safety and composability seriously. If you've been waiting for a production codebase that actually uses functional patterns, this is it. -

A technically interesting immediate focus.

You'll be leading work on a large API-first platform revamp — a greenfield opportunity within a live product. -

AI is a first-class part of how we work.

We use AI to extend engineering capacity, and we hire engineers who use it daily and use it well. Our hiring process even includes a live AI-assisted coding interview — we want to see how you think with these tools, not whether you can memorise algorithms without them. -

Competitive salary.

€/£80,000–110,000 per year, flexible depending on location and experience. No degree required — experience is what matters. ### The role We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join the Product Engineering team. This is an individual contributor role — no people management. You'll design, architect, and ship.

You'll influence technical direction, raise the bar through code review and mentorship, and own complex features end-to-end. The immediate focus is a large API-first platform revamp.

You'll have a say in how it's shaped. ### What you'll work on - Architect and deliver the API-first platform revamp — defining service boundaries, API contracts, and data models - Drive technical design reviews and establish engineering best practices - Own end-to-end delivery of complex features across payroll, compliance, and HR product surfaces - Improve CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD), testing strategies, and deployment processes - Mentor engineers through code reviews and pair programming - Contribute to the technical roadmap and product strategy - Build and iterate on AI-assisted workflows as agentic tooling becomes part of how we ship ### Our stack - Language: TypeScript (functional style, frontend and backend) - Frontend: React, Next.js - Backend: Fastify, Drizzle, Effect - Database: PostgreSQL, Redis - Infrastructure: Kubernetes - CI/CD: GitHub Actions, ArgoCD - Observability: Grafana, Prometheus, Tempo, Loki ### How we work - 2-week sprints - Fully remote, GMT to GMT+3 - Sync communication on Discord - Small, senior-leaning team where your opinions shape how we build ### Interview process Four stages, no surprises: 1.

Recruiter call

— Get to know each other, clarify the process. If it's a mutual fit, you'll receive an interview guide to prepare. 2.

Hiring manager interview

— Meet your potential leader, discuss your experience and approach. 3.

System design interview

— We observe how you think architecturally. No trick questions — we want to see your reasoning. 4.

Coding with AI interview

— You'll work in an environment with Claude Code. No prior Claude experience needed. We would like to see how you use AI as a thinking and delivery tool — not test your ability to code in a vacuum. https://apply.workable.com/goglobal/j/4905C591AD

Required

- Based between GMT and GMT+3 - 5+ years of experience at Senior level or above - Expert-level TypeScript — large-scale production applications, not just familiarity - Strong software architecture fundamentals — patterns, trade-offs, and the judgement to apply them - Deep understanding of API design and best practices - Production experience with PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, and Redis - Experience in a mid-to-large engineering organisation (50+ developers) - Active daily use of AI coding tools — this is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have

Nice to have

- Experience with Effect-ts or similar functional libraries - Fastify - Next.js - Grafana stack (Prometheus, Tempo, Loki) - Domain experience in HR tech, payroll, compliance, or regulated industries
