What you’ll do

• Own the design of Go backend services that list and settle event contracts around the clock.

• Late or corrected results
• Cancellations
• Voided markets
• Provider outages
• Race conditions
• Write and review design docs, set engineering standards, and lead technical decisions across teams.
• Mentor engineers through code review, pairing, and design feedback.
