Does this sound like you?

You're a confident and curious developer with a passion for scalable systems
and clean code. You thrive in agile environments and enjoy solving complex problems with simple, elegant solutions. Whether you're mentoring teammates, reviewing code, or designing microservices, you bring a collaborative mindset that drives progress and performance.


What you’ll be doing (in a nutshell):

As a Go Developer at Perkbox, you’ll play a central role in shaping the architecture and performance of our backend services. Working as part of a cross-functional squad, you’ll translate business goals into scalable systems that directly impact millions of users.


Day-to-day you can expect to:


  • Design, develop and maintain microservices and user-facing features in Go

  • Build and document robust gRPC and RESTful APIs

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, UX, DevOps and engineering teams

  • Deploy, monitor and optimise services for performance and reliability

  • Write maintainable and testable code, supported by strong unit and integration coverage

  • Contribute to agile ceremonies, championing iteration and improvement

  • Mentor and support junior engineers through reviews and pair programming

  • Explore emerging technologies and help shape our open-source contributions


To be successful, you'll have:


  • At least 3 years’ experience with Go and microservice development

  • Strong understanding of Go routines and channel patterns

  • Proficiency with gRPC, RESTful APIs, and Git

  • Experience with DynamoDB, Elasticsearch and MySQL

  • Familiarity with event-driven architecture

  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal

  • A pragmatic, delivery-focused approach to working in an agile setting


Bonus points if you bring:


  • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)

  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and observability tools (e.g. Grafana, CloudWatch)

  • Exposure to AI-based code editors or frontend/mobile frameworks like React

  • Contributions to open-source projects or developer communities


Why Perkbox?

In 2025, Perkbox and Vivup came together under one name: the new and evolved Perkbox.

We joined forces to create something bigger and better - a single, unified platform built to care for, connect with, and celebrate employees in all areas of life. With more than 20 years of combined experience across public, private, SME and corporate sectors, we’re now supporting over 4 million employees across 7,500 organisations.

From access to expert mental health services to help with the cost of everyday essentials, our expanded range of benefits and wellbeing tools meets people where they are - at work and beyond.

Together, we’re redefining what employee benefits can be. And we’re just getting started.


The Interview Process

Our interview process involves 4 main stages:


  • Application

  • Short call with a member of the TA team

  • 30-minute video call with Hiring Manager and one other team member

  • Final Interview and task with two members of the team


Our average process takes around 2-3 weeks, but we will always work around your availability. You will have the chance to speak to our recruitment team at various points during your process. If you have any specific questions ahead of this, please contact us on talent@vivup.co.uk

We’re committed to being an inclusive employer and creating a fair workplace for all. We encourage applications from candidates across all backgrounds, circumstances, ages, disabilities, ethnicities, religions or beliefs, gender identities, or sexual orientations

We're happy to offer reasonable adjustments during our hiring process. Just let us know, and we'll make it work for you. Your comfort and success matter to us!
