We’re working with a late stage startup that helps companies manage benefits for employees. They’re pushing to get a set of new features out by January so that their clients can use them for the 2025 calendar year.
The engineering org as a whole is 40 people, spread out across the U.S. Their backend is essentially a set of go microservices that communicate with each other via grpc and protobuf and the backend engineering team is currently around ~30 engineers.
They’re looking to add an additional 5 go devs across a handful of squads to help them increase feature velocity going into the end of the year.
