Senior Backend Engineer - Go / Agentic Integrations
Location: Remote – UK / Europe
Employment Type: Permanent
We're partnering with a global enterprise software company building a new generation of AI-native integration technology designed to connect complex enterprise systems, data, and workflows.
This is an early-stage, highly technical initiative where you'll help design and build a new integration layer from the ground up. The platform will connect previously disconnected enterprise systems, orchestrate workflows across them, and enable both human users and AI agents to securely interact with enterprise tools and data.
We're looking for an experienced backend engineer who combines deep Go/Golang software engineering experience with enterprise integrations, distributed systems, and an interest in modern agentic AI.
You'll join a small, senior engineering team with significant ownership over architecture, technology choices, and the direction of the platform.
What You'll Be Working On
- Designing and building backend services primarily in Go/Golang
- Building reusable system-to-system and B2B integrations across complex enterprise platforms
- Designing APIs and integration architecture rather than simply building individual point-to-point connectors
- Building durable, event-driven, and distributed workflows
- Using orchestration technologies such as Temporal, n8n, Apache Camel, MuleSoft, or Boomi
- Designing reliable systems around retries, failures, asynchronous processing, and workflow state
- Building capabilities that allow AI agents to securely access enterprise tools, APIs, and data
- Working with modern cloud-native infrastructure including Kubernetes and Docker
- Helping shape architecture and engineering standards in a genuinely greenfield environment
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For
- Strong commercial Go/Golang experience - ideally Go is or has recently been one of your primary backend languages
- Strong backend/software engineering fundamentals
- Experience building enterprise, B2B, or system-to-system integrations
- Experience designing distributed and/or event-driven systems
- Experience with workflow or integration orchestration technologies such as Temporal, n8n, Apache Camel, MuleSoft, or Boomi
- Experience building multi-tenant SaaS/B2B platforms
- Strong API design and integration architecture experience
- Experience working with cloud-native environments and technologies such as Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD
- Strong architectural judgment and the ability to explain the trade-offs behind technical decisions

Particularly Interesting
Experience in any of the following would be highly valuable:
- Agentic AI / AI agents
- Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- Tool calling and agent-accessible APIs
- RAG or production GenAI applications
- AI-native software development using tools such as Claude, Cursor, or similar
- API gateways such as Kong or Tyk
- Identity, authorization, or secure tool access
- Industrial, enterprise asset, IoT, or other complex enterprise software environments
The Opportunity
This isn't a maintenance role or an incremental extension of an established platform. You'll be joining during the early stages of a new initiative and helping determine how the integration platform should actually be designed.
The broader goal is to move beyond traditional point-to-point integrations and create a unified platform that can combine enterprise data, orchestrate workflows, and support increasingly sophisticated agentic AI use cases.
