About Workmind

Workmind builds Operational AI Agents that automate complex workflows for franchise and multi-location businesses.

Our platform integrates directly with the software companies already rely on—CRM systems, HR platforms, payroll providers, and communication tools—and converts manual operational processes into reliable automated workflows.

We focus on real operational systems, not research experiments. Our work centers on strong systems design, orchestration, and reliability so the automation we build performs consistently in production.

We are a small, focused engineering team building infrastructure that businesses depend on every day.

Role: Backend Engineer / Tech Lead

This role combines hands-on backend engineering with technical delivery leadership.

You will both build production systems and help ensure the engineering team delivers work consistently and on schedule.

The Engineer

You will design, build, and ship backend services on Google Cloud. This includes writing Go services, integrating complex third-party APIs, managing data pipelines, and ensuring systems remain observable and reliable in production.

The Lead

You will help maintain delivery discipline across the engineering team. This includes managing the Jira board, enforcing deadlines, preventing scope creep, and ensuring releases move through QA and deployment predictably.

Responsibilities

• Architect and build core operational automation agents in Go
• Integrate Workmind with third-party APIs (authentication, retries, rate limits, idempotency)
• Implement unit, integration, and end-to-end tests
• Maintain system reliability through defensive coding, structured logging, metrics, and tracing
• Manage engineering delivery through Jira task ownership and deadline enforcement
• Maintain deployment, QA, and documentation protocols in Confluence
• Support reliable production deployments with observability and SLO awareness

Must-have experience

• 5+ years backend development
• 2+ years production Go
• 2+ years operating in a Tech Lead or delivery leadership role
• Experience running containerized services on Google Cloud
• Practical experience with testing across multiple layers (unit / integration / end-to-end)
• Strong production debugging skills using logs, metrics, and traces

Our stack

• Go 1.24+
• Google Cloud Platform
  • Cloud Compute
  • Firestore
  • Secret Manager
  • Artifact Registry
  • Cloud Logging / Monitoring
  • Managed Prometheus
• Temporal for durable execution and orchestration
• Nix for deterministic environments and builds
• OpenTelemetry for traces, metrics, and logs
• Containers using distroless images and least-privilege runtime

Location & terms

• 100% remote
• Preference for Southeast Asia
• Candidates outside the region must maintain at least four hours of overlap with SEA business hours

Compensation

• USD $3,000 – $4,000 per month
• Independent contractor role
• You manage your own local taxes and compliance
