Backend Software Engineer

At go-e, we have been pursuing the development of our vision with passion and strength from the very beginning. We are moving in an area that is characterized by breakthroughs and growth and that requires a lot of personal responsibility and creative solution finding. On our journey towards the energy transition, the mixture of innovation and security, regional and international, self-realization and professionalism is the ideal fuel for our mutual growth. We're building the Portal—a modern, scalable, and user-centric platform used by Fleet Managers and Technicians. Our engineering culture emphasizes autonomy, code quality, and ownership. We're looking for an engineer whose primary focus is backend application development while also being comfortable contributing to frontend features when needed. You'll collaborate across the entire application stack — from APIs and business logic to user-facing experiences — working closely with product, design, and engineering to turn ideas into reliable, impactful features, while maintaining the majority of your focus on the backend development. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy understanding the bigger picture: solving backend challenges, shaping user experiences, and seeing their work move from concept to production. You'll work closely with platform and infrastructure teams while staying focused on building the products and experiences our customers rely on. Build across the stack, not just within it: Solve real product challenges used by customers every dayWork at the intersection of engineering, design, and productGrow your technical breadth by collaborating with teams across the stack Build products that operate at scale: Design and ship features across backend services and user-facing applicationsWork with systems handling high volumes of IoT telemetry dataCollaborate with platform teams supporting reliable, production-grade infrastructureCreate experiences that directly impact how customers interact with our products If you enjoy building robust backend solutions while still having the opportunity to improve the frontend experience, this role offers the right balance. If you are looking for a role entirely focused on platform/backend engineering with no frontend involvement, this might not be the ideal fit.
