Senior Go Developer - Trust & Safety Platform
Fully Remote - Overlap with PST working hours
Remote
Full-time
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.
Responsibilities:
  • 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
You might be a good fit if you:
  • 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, ClickHouse)
  • 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
This role is NOT a good fit for you if you:
  • Do not use Go at your current job.
We're especially excited if you have:
  • 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.
If you want to work with an excellent team and help define the future of social, we encourage you to apply.
