Workato is the leading Control and Execution Platform for Enterprise AI — the neutral platform enterprises trust to put AI to work across their business. Workato unifies data, applications, and processes into a single platform so AI can reliably orchestrate business processes in production at enterprise scale.

• Design and implement distributed backend systems in Go with deep consideration of performance and memory behavior.
• Work on runtime-level components operating under high concurrency and throughput.
• Apply in-depth knowledge of Go internals (scheduler, memory model, garbage collection behavior) to improve system efficiency.
• Design and optimize concurrent workflows using goroutines, channels, synchronization primitives, and context propagation.
• Analyze and optimize slice usage, memory allocations, and data structures for performance-critical paths.
• Improve execution engine for custom third-party code (isolation, performance, feature extensions).
• Modernize runtime components with focus on modularity, structured architecture, and observability.
• Improve trigger configuration and execution across webhooks and polling mechanisms.
• Integrate and optimize data storage solutions (Postgres, S3, DynamoDB, Kafka, ClickHouse).
• Identify bottlenecks, race conditions, deadlocks, and performance degradation in distributed systems.
• Own initiatives end-to-end, from design to rollout and production support.
• Conduct code reviews with emphasis on correctness, concurrency safety, and performance characteristics.

• Strong experience in building scalable distributed backend applications (7+ years).
• Great understanding of all building blocks of large web applications: databases, load balancers, application servers, message brokers, caching, monitoring, etc.
• Good understanding of network protocols and stacks.
• Good understanding of DB technologies: classic databases and modern no-SQL.
• Knowledge of basic data structures and algorithms and how they are used is a must.
• Multilingual programming experience: our code base is primarily in Ruby, with trend to migrate to GOlang and Rust.
• Excellent debugging, analytical, problem solving, and social skills.
• BS/MS degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related subject, 7+ years of industry experience.
• Readiness to work remotely with teams distributed across the world and timezones.
• Будет плюсом: Background in network programming; Background in application, data security; Deep knowledge of physical DB design; Experience of working with Docker and other isolation technologies; Experience of working with public cloud infrastructure providers(AWS/Azure/Google Cloud); Experience in related fields (DevOps, ML, DBA, Enterprise applications, etc); Experience in building/deploying data processing pipelines is a plus; Experience of working with third-party REST APIs at scale (request throttling, batch processing etc)

• Ultimately, Workato believes in fostering a flexible, trust-oriented culture that empowers everyone to take full ownership of their roles.
• We are driven by innovation and looking for team players who want to actively build our company.
• But, we also believe in balancing productivity with self-care.
• That’s why we offer all of our employees a vibrant and dynamic work environment along with a multitude of benefits they can enjoy inside and outside of their work lives.
