Senior Go Developer - Trust & Safety Platform

Bluesky's vision is to make social more like the web itself. We're building a social media app, but beyond that, we've created a protocol that supports a broad ecosystem of applications and clients. Imagine a network of applications — from microblogging to photos to video to long-form writing — all interconnected and accessible with a shared identity.

As a Senior Go Developer for the Trust & Safety Platform at Bluesky, you’ll be responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure that powers moderation, anti-spam, and user safety. You’ll work closely with our internal operations and product team to build high-scale services for rapid detection and prevention of abuse.

• Design, implement, and maintain high volume pipelines and databases
• Manage and create ETLs which power automated abuse-prevention
• Assist with the scaling and implementation of the backends for internal tools
• Work closely with engineers across the organization to integrate safety systems
• Develop monitoring and observability solutions for data infrastructure

• Have strong fundamental programming and software engineering skills
• Have extensive experience with Go (e.g. 5+ years)
• Have built scalable backend systems (1M+ ops/sec) (e.g. data services, load balancers, etc.)
• Have familiarity with the upper limits of operating systems, networks, and storage.
• Have significant experience with database systems (e.g. Postgres, MySQL, SQLite)
• Have some experience with other data stores (e.g. Scylla/Cassandra, Redis, Click House)
• Have some experience with search systems (e.g. Elasticsearch)
• Like working on small, fast-moving teams
• Have read the AT Protocol docs and want to contribute

• Do not use Go at your current job.

• Previous experience working on infrastructure for social apps at large scale

We’re a fully remote team, but an overlap of working hours with PST is required, and for this role, proximity and willingness to travel to Seattle is a plus. We offer health, dental, and vision insurance.

• The anticipated base salary range for this position is $170,000 - $230,000, excluding equity. Equity will be considered in the total compensation package. Final base salary for this role will be based on the individual’s geographic location, as well as experience level, skill set, training, licenses and certifications.

If you want to work with an excellent team and help define the future of social, we encourage you to apply.
