Backend Engineer Consultant - (remote - Brazil)

Responsibilities

• Architect, build, and maintain Go-based backend services and provider adapters for network, bare-metal/GPU, and data providers (live pricing and availability).
• Collaborate asynchronously across distributed functions (Design, QA, Data Foundation) to deliver reliable gateway integrations with US business hours overlap.

Requirements

• 3–5 years of professional backend development with production expertise in Go (or strong adjacent languages with a rapid ramp to Go), REST/API integrations, Postgres, Redis, and cloud infrastructure on AWS.

Who We Are

We are a US-based advisory and marketplace that is revolutionizing the way companies buy and sell digital infrastructure (Datacenter, cloud, and network services). Digital infrastructure services are the building blocks of the internet and at the core of every industry. Traditionally it’s been bought manually through service provider sales people, resulting in high costs, slow procurement cycles, and services that aren’t the best fit - slowing down the ability of companies to build and innovate.

Inflect’s marketplace and advisory are removing friction so any company can get what they need, when they need it, with the right deal terms. By achieving our mission, we unlock businesses to build and human innovation to inflect!
