About DealSeek
DealSeek is making coupon finding and deal hunting fun again. More than 3 million people have installed the DealSeek app, and millions use it every month on the web to find better prices across Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and other retailers. Our founders have bootstrapped multiple previous companies to over $1M ARR, and have gained 750k+ followers across social platforms.
Why this role exists
A deal that is stale, slow, or wrong is not a deal. Our backend ingests and serves a fast-moving catalog with tens of millions of prices, while supporting search, recommendations, collections, and price history. We need an engineer who wants to own that system in production, not just add endpoints to it.
What you'll do
- Design and ship Go services for 10M+ deals, search, and collections
- Build ingestion and processing pipelines that keep multi-retailer data fresh
- Own performance and reliability across PostgreSQL, Redis, ClickHouse, and Milvus
- Help us monitor our services and infrastructure with Axiom and Grafana
Qualifications
- Production Go experience, or deep backend experience and the ability to get productive in Go quickly
- Strong Postgres fundamentals and practical experience with caching or analytical stores
- Ability to use AI tools to work faster without replacing your own judgment.
- An operator's mindset: you don't do 80% of the work and move on. You own the system and monitor it in production.
- Experience moving and validating large, frequently changing datasets
- You prefer simple, observable systems over clever abstractions

How we work
Hustler Mentality
We work hard to earn our seat at the table every day. No coasting on past wins, and scrappy beats perfect.
Bias Toward Tinkering
We're proactive, not just reactive. Sometimes we break things that are working. We believe that innovation comes from hundreds of failed experiments.
No Egos
You can talk to anyone at DealSeek. No closed doors, no gatekeepers, no politics. Ideas are judged on merit, and credit goes to the team.
Extreme Ownership
We take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks, and solve problems even when they fall outside our job description. We own the result end to end.
Speed x Craft
We get MVPs out quick, then come back and refine them. We enjoy perfecting the details, and iteration adds up over time.
Abundance Mindset
We don't limit our ambitions to what others have achieved. We know the competition; we are not defined by it.
Use the product
We dogfood DealSeek daily. The best ideas come from shopping for things you actually need.
AI-native engineering
We pay for your AI token spend on frontier models, and you'll build alongside our internal AI agent.

Discord, Linear and a Gather virtual office. No meetings for things a message can do.
