Description
Location: Remote (Kenya)
Function: ICT / Computer
Job Type: Full Time, Remote
Salary Range: KSh 150,000 – KSh 200,000/month
About the Role
Founded in 2012, Two Max Group was built on a singular, contrarian premise: compliance is not an API integration. It is a rigorous legal discipline. We are the direct, legally registered Employer of Record protecting the world’s most demanding enterprises in Kenya.
We’re a US-based organization with a mission to help our clients thrive by providing quality healthcare and housing. We’re building the software that runs our operations – client-facing mobile experiences and the backend services behind them — and we’re hiring our first dedicated backend developer in Kenya.
Hours: Mostly flexible/async, with a 2–3 hour overlap window 7–10 PM EAT on weekdays (US Pacific morning) for standups and pairing
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate backend services in Go (REST/gRPC APIs, background workers, integrations)
- Own the PostgreSQL layer: schema design, migrations, query performance, and data integrity for sensitive healthcare-adjacent data
- Ship to production: Docker-based deploys, CI, monitoring, and pragmatic incident response
- Collaborate with our Flutter front-end work (API contracts; Flutter experience is a welcome bonus, not a requirement)
- Use AI coding tools (Claude, Copilot) as accelerators, with engineering judgment and code review discipline on top
- Handle sensitive data responsibly — we operate to US healthcare privacy standards (HIPAA-aware development; we provide training)
Qualifications
- 3–5+ years backend development, including 1–2 years of production Go — OR strong production backend experience in another language plus substantial Go work we can see (link your GitHub)
- Real SQL depth: you can discuss indexing strategy, transactions, and migrations from experience, not tutorials
- Experience running something in production: deploys, logs, monitoring, and the humility that comes from being paged
- Clear written English — API docs, PR descriptions, and async updates are how this team works
- Bonus points: fintech/payments background, Flutter/Dart exposure, or healthcare data experience
