Software Craftsperson - Golang (3+)

About Incubyte

Incubyte is an AI-first software development agency, built on the foundations of software craft, where the “how” of building software matters as much as the “what”. We partner with companies of all sizes, from helping enterprises build, scale, and modernize; to pre-product founders bring their ideas to life. 

Incubees are power users of AI across the SDLC for speed and efficiency. Guided by Software Craftsmanship values and eXtreme Programming practices, we bring velocity together with the discipline of quality engineering to deliver high-impact, reliable solutions – fast. 

Guiding Principles

• Living and breathing our guiding principles on a daily basis is key to success at Incubyte: 
• Relentless Pursuit of Quality with Pragmatism 
• Striving for exceptional quality without losing sight of practical delivery needs. 
• Extreme Ownership Taking full responsibility for decisions, work, and outcomes. 
• Proactive Collaboration Actively seeking opportunities to collaborate and leverage the team’s collective strengths. 
• Active Pursuit of Mastery Continuously learning, improving, and mastering the craft, never settling for ‘good enough’. 
• Invite, Give, and Act on Feedback 
• Creating a culture of timely, respectful, actionable feedback for mutual growth. 
• Ensuring Client Success Acting as trusted consultants and focusing on delivering true value and outcomes for clients. 

Role Overview

This role is ideal for a mid-level engineer who has built strong fundamentals in software craft and is now growing into feature-level ownership. You will work on product features and medium-sized engineering problems, collaborating closely with senior crafters to shape solutions and deliver outcomes. 

At this level, the expectation is increasing independence—showing the ability to break down problems, apply sound technical judgment, and consistently deliver maintainable solutions. You are expected to understand the intent behind engineering practices, raise quality concerns early, and connect your work more deeply to customer and system outcomes. 

At Incubyte, AI is not an add-on but a co-creator in our craft. From refining requirements to reviewing and refactoring code, you’ll pair with AI to explore solutions faster, catch issues earlier, and raise the quality bar continuously. AI accelerates how we learn, experiment, and deliver — enabling you to focus on solving the right problems with impact while being tech and domain agnostic – true consultants at heart. 



Responsibilities

• Design and deliver product features and small-scope engineering challenges with support from senior crafters. 
• Apply sound technical judgment within a feature, ensuring maintainable solutions. 
• Raise quality, design, or delivery concerns early and demonstrate growing accountability for outcomes. 
• Bring structure to unclear work and proactive surface risks and dependencies. 
• Work with an MVP mindset—delivering small slices frequently and balancing quality with pragmatism. 
• Write clean, test-driven code and continuously improve it using tidy-first / scout-rule practices. 
• Understand the “why” behind craft practices, DevEx, and DORA metrics, and seek opportunities to simplify designs. 
• Build awareness of non-functional considerations such as performance, security, and usability. 
• Share learnings, experiments, and insights with the team. 
• Give clear, kind, and constructive feedback to peers. 
• Work transparently by communicating progress, blockers, and next steps proactively. 
• Use AI to accelerate design, testing, and delivery. 

What We’re Looking For

• Hands-on expertise in Golang at scale 
• Proficiency with Go’s testing framework, including table-driven tests and benchmarking 
• Strong understanding of Go concurrency primitives (goroutines, channels, mutexes, wait groups) and memory management 
• Strong skills in software design and design patterns 
• Experience working with HTTP API libraries and building RESTful services in Go 
• Experience with database connectors and data persistence layers 
• Solid understanding of Go concurrency patterns 
• Good to have experience with React / JavaScript / TypeScript for front-end development 
• Deep understanding of Test-Driven Development (TDD), Agile, and eXtreme Programming (XP) practices 
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, server ecosystems, and deployment infrastructure 
• A curious and continuous learning mindset, using technology to solve real-world problems 

Life at Incubyte

We are a remote-first company with structured flexibility. Teams commit to shared rhythms during core hours, ensuring smooth collaboration while maintaining autonomy. Twice a year, we come together in person for a co-working sprint and once a year for a retreat - with all travel expenses covered. 

Our environment is built for crafters: pairing, refactoring, experimenting with AI, and pushing the boundaries of software excellence. We are all lifelong learners, and our work is our passion.
