Rohan Büchner - Engineering Manager Backend

Two of our online marketplaces, tutti.ch and anibis.ch are looking for a Backend Engineer with Go skills to join their team.

How are we working in tutti.ch/anibis.ch Backend Team?

We work in stream-aligned product teams using the SCRUM methodology. Each team includes 2–3 Backend Engineers, a Product Owner, an Engineering Manager, Designers and Mobile and Web Engineers.

Our teams collaborate closely with Platform (infrastructure) and Data (BI) teams, and each product team owns a specific domain. Engineers are responsible for design, implementation, deployment, and monitoring.

We run Go-based backend services on AWS with Kubernetes, deploying daily to over 300k users. Code is reviewed and deployed directly from Git Hub.

Our stack includes Postgre

SQL, Elasticsearch, Redis, Send Grid (emails), and Auth0 (authentication). We maintain high test coverage using tools like Testify, with integration tests for databases, Redis, and Kafka.

What will you bring to the ride?

• Strong Go programming skills, we expect about 3 years of experience in Go.
• Proven experience with strongly typed languages in complex settings, including building and delivering web services.
• A track record of at least 3+ years making high-impact technical decisions and driving project outcomes.
• A positive attitude and passion for your craft matter more than checking every box.
• We value pragmatic, empathetic team members who strive to understand others before seeking to be understood.

• 6 weeks of holidays (with the option to buy up to 10 additional days).
• 40-hour work week.
• 18 weeks of maternity leave and 6 weeks of paternity leave (also applies to adoption).
• Flexible working arrangements – we strongly value work-life balance.
• Access to mental health, well-being, and counselling platforms.
• Swiss transport system half-fare card and 1st-class travel between SMG sites in Switzerland.

We believe hiring is a two-way street, where both parties get to know each other. Here's what you can expect if selected:

• Conversation with our Talent Acquisition Specialist.
• Hiring Manager Call with Rohan Büchner:
  Introduction to the team, role, and responsibilities, followed by a technical screening.
• Technical Interview - Coding Interview (90 min) + Architecture & Design (90 min).
• Team Fit.

To take this opportunity, send us your English CV along with any supporting documents that highlight why you’re the perfect fit.

For this job position, you need to be located in Switzerland and hold a valid work permit.

At SMG, we value unique perspectives and believe in the potential of every individual. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and encourage you to apply, even if you don’t meet every requirement. Together, we grow skills, embrace differences, and make an impact.
