Senior Backend Engineer (Go) (Location - Australia or New Zealand) at Creative Fabrica. . Location: Remote. About Creative Fabrica. . Creative Fabrica is a subscription platform serving millions of creators, designers, and crafters worldwide. We're built on the principle that everyone can be creative. We remove what stands in the way: expensive software, technical expertise, and time-consuming production.. . Our Studio AI suite offers more than 26 specialized AI tools that automate technical work: generate custom images, remove backgrounds, create fonts, and produce publication-ready designs in minutes instead of hours.. . Our content library contains 15+ million commercially-licensed fonts, graphics, SVGs, and templates, giving you professional-quality building blocks without the expense or time of creating assets from scratch.. About the role:. . This is a fully remote role within New Zealand, Australia East Coast or nearby time zones.. . Creative Fabrica is building a new generation of AI products, and we want the quality and speed of our creative output to match the ambition of the products themselves.. . Our 26+ AI tools already serve hundreds of thousands of creators every day, from hobbyist crafters to professional designers. The engineering challenge is making heavy, long-running AI workloads feel fast and reliable at that scale.. . We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with deep Go experience who can architect high-concurrency systems and take ownership of our multimodal generation pipeline. As a Senior Backend Engineer (Go), you will own the backend systems behind Studio AI's generation pipeline.. . You will work closely with our other backend engineers, platform engineers, and Product to turn raw model output into a polished product experience.. . This is not primarily an API-building role. The difficulty sits in orchestration: coordinating expensive inference across media domains, handling partial failure gracefully and keeping latency predictable under load.. . You will have significant technical freedom. Sometimes you will pick up a defined problem; other times you will be given an objective and expected to define the architecture yourself.. . Your overlap with our Amsterdam headquarters will mostly be asynchronous, so you should be comfortable working independently.. Our stack: Go, Kafka, SQS, gRPC, ConnectRPC, GraphQL, Postgres, AWS (EKS, S3, Lambda).. . What you will do:. . . Design and scale Go microservices that manage the full lifecycle of an AI generation.. . Optimise our ConnectRPC services and asynchronous pipelines (Kafka, SQS) to handle long-running, resource-intensive inference without compromising platform stability.. . Build the backend logic behind advanced features, including multimodal orchestration across images, video, audio, 3D and vector.. . Work with AWS to manage large data throughput and integrate with high-performance storage and compute clusters.. . Collaborate with external providers and Product to bridge the gap between model output and production user experience.. . Make and document architectural decisions on concurrency, queueing, backpressure and failure handling as the pipeline scales.. . Improve reliability and latency across the generation path, and own the observability needed to see both clearly.. . Own quality end to end: code review, testing strategy and on-call readiness for the services you build.. . Integrate new frontier models into production workflows quickly and safely.. . Contribute to technical direction across the wider backend platform, not only your own services.. . Stay current with distributed systems practice, AI infrastructure and model-serving developments.. . . What you will need: . . . Extensive experience building and scaling backend services in Go in high-traffic, high-volume SaaS environments.. . Proven ability to design distributed microservice architectures, including asynchronous processing (Kafka, SQS), low-latency service communication (gRPC, ConnectRPC or GraphQL) and long-running or resource-intensive workloads with queueing, backpressure and retry strategies.. . Deep AWS knowledge (EKS, S3, Lambda) alongside solid relational database skills, ideally Postgres: schema design, query performance and handling growth.. . Strong production discipline: observability, performance profiling, debugging live systems, code review and automated testing.. . Comfortable owning and documenting architectural decisions. Good written and spoken English.. . Strong sense of ownership over the reliability and quality of the systems you build, and over whether they actually perform for users rather than just read well.. . Pragmatic and self-directed; defines an approach without a fully specified brief, balances engineering quality against product goals, and ships dependable systems at pace rather than over-engineering.. . Strong written communicator who documents decisions by default, takes direct feedback well, and works effectively in a distributed team with limited real-time overlap.. . . Nice to have:. . . Media processing experience such as video transcoding, audio synthesis or vector manipulation.. . AI infrastructure experience: model serving at scale, GPU-accelerated workloads, integrating third-party or open-source generative models into production, and cost optimisation for compute-heavy jobs.. . Background in a startup or other fast-moving, distributed environment, with an interest in helping shape product direction.. . . Please note: You must already be living in Australia or New Zealand to be considered for this role. . . . . Is this you?. . . . . . . . . Get in touch! We'd love to speak to you.. .
