About Us:
At Atolio, we are a fully remote, well-funded startup founded by experienced leaders from Splunk and PagerDuty. We’re on a mission to make organizational knowledge instantly accessible regardless of which app, service, or platform it lives in. We’re an early series startup combining cutting-edge machine learning and AI to solve some of the most complex challenges in enterprise search: indexing, retrieval, and scaling across multi-cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure). With a collaborative culture, robust tools, and comprehensive benefits, Atolio is a place where innovation and creativity thrive.

About the Role:
As a Senior Backend Engineer you’ll help create distributed backend services deployed in Kubernetes across AWS, GCP, or Azure, powering enterprise grade applications with integrations like Okta.

• Lead projects from 0 to1

• Responsible for leading architecture and design of new product features and services

• Collaborate across teams to define technical requirements, shape architecture, and deliver high-impact solutions in a fast-moving, startup environment.

• Work across the stack when needed, especially at the intersection of backend services and other infrastructure layers.

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong understanding of core computer science principles, including algorithms, data structures, operating systems, distributed systems, networking, and concurrent programming.

• 5+ years of experience designing, implementing, and maintaining highly scalable cloud services and microservices architectures.

• Proficiency in multiple programming languages specifically, Golang experience is required.

• Experience working in a Kubernetes environment, within AWS, Azure or GCP.

• Comfort working across the stack, with a focus on backend systems.

• Experience building applications for large enterprises, with familiarity in SSO/IdP systems like Okta.

• Enthusiasm for working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment with minimal documentation and established processes.

• Collaborative mindset, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to navigate ambiguity to tackle complex challenges.

• Excellent communication skills for working effectively within a remote team.
