<p><h4>Description</h4> <p>Aspire Software is looking for a software engineer to join our team in Lebanon.</p> <p>Here is a little window into our company: Aspire Software operates and manages wholly owned software companies, providing mission-critical solutions across multiple verticals. By implementing industry best practices, Aspire delivers a time sensitive integration process, and the operation of a decentralized model has allowed it to become a hub for creating rapid growth by reinvesting in its portfolio.</p> <h4>About the role</h4> <p>We are hiring a mid-level Go engineer to build and operate the microservices at the core of our payments platform. You will own services end to end — from API design and database schema through testing, containerization, and production deployment — in a domain where correctness, security, and reliability are non-negotiable. This is a hands-on building role with clear ownership and room to grow into deeper platform and architecture work.</p> <p>Our services are REST/JSON APIs (Gin) deployed on AWS ECS, with observability handled through internal services today. As we scale the platform, there is real room to help raise the engineering bar — introducing metrics and distributed tracing, structured observability, and stronger CI/static-analysis standards. If you like owning systems and shaping how they are built, you will have that runway here.</p> <p>You will join an engineering team that uses AI-assisted development tools as a standard part of its workflow. We expect engineers to use these tools well — to move faster without sacrificing the rigor that payments demand.</p> <h4>What you'll do</h4> <ul> <li>Design, build, and maintain Go microservices (HTTP APIs, sidecars, and background processors) that handle payment authorization, tokenization, settlement, and reporting.</li> <li>Write clean, well-tested Go: table-driven unit tests, mocked dependencies, and meaningful coverage on the paths that move money.</li> <li>Profile and tune services for high throughput and low latency (pprof, benchmarking) — transaction paths are latency-sensitive.</li> <li>Integrate with relational and NoSQL data stores (MySQL, DynamoDB, PostgreSQL); design schemas, access patterns, and migrations that hold up under load and evolve safely.</li> <li>Build and consume internal service APIs, including service-to-service authentication and shared platform libraries.</li> <li>Containerize services with multi-stage Docker builds and ship them through CI/CD pipelines to cloud infrastructure.</li> <li>Integrate with third-party payment processors and AWS services, handling sensitive data in line with PCI DSS and our security standards (secure coding, data masking, TLS, secrets management).</li> <li>Build reliability into money-movement flows: idempotency, retries, and reconciliation/settlement correctness.</li> <li>Participate in code review, design discussions, on-call rotation, and incident response for the services you own.</li> <li>Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) effectively and responsibly as part of day-to-day work.</li> </ul> <h4>Requirements</h4> <ul> <li>3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with production Go experience among them (mid-level seniority).</li> <li>Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.</li> <li>Solid command of Go fundamentals: concurrency done right (goroutine lifecycle, channel discipline, context-driven cancellation), interfaces, error handling, modules, and the standard library.</li> <li>Experience building and consuming RESTful HTTP APIs, ideally with a Go web framework (we use Gin).</li> <li>Working proficiency with SQL databases (schema design, queries, transactions) — we use MySQL with sqlx.</li> <li>Comfort with Docker and CI/CD pipelines as part of a normal development workflow.</li> <li>Demonstrated experience using AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) in real project work — and good judgment about when to trust, verify, and override their output.</li> <li>Strong testing discipline and the habit of writing maintainable, reviewable code.</li> <li>Clear written and verbal communication, a collaborative and ownership-driven mindset, and comfort working in an agile/iterative team onsite.</li> </ul> <h4>Preferred qualifications</h4> <ul> <li>Payments / fintech background — payment gateways, card processing, tokenization, PCI DSS, fraud, or financial transaction systems (strongly preferred).</li> <li>Hands-on AWS experience, especially DynamoDB, S3, Secrets Manager, KMS, SSM Parameter Store, ECS, and ECR.</li> <li>Experience with microservices and distributed-systems patterns (service-to-service auth, sidecars, idempotency, retries, observability).</li> <li>Familiarity with NoSQL (DynamoDB) and/or PostgreSQL in addition to MySQL.</li> <li>Experience with secure handling of sensitive data: encryption (AES, KMS), JWT, secrets management, and secure-coding practices (OWASP, data masking, TLS).</li> <li>Payments-domain depth: settlement/reconciliation, idempotency, card-network/scheme familiarity, fraud, or financial transaction systems.</li> <li>Experience introducing observability (metrics, distributed tracing, structured logging) and/or CI quality tooling (static analysis, linting) to a growing platform.</li> <li>Database schema migration and API versioning experience.</li> <li>JavaScript / TypeScript / React — a plus. Our admin and merchant UIs are React 19 + TypeScript + Vite; full-stack contribution is welcome but not required.</li> <li>Experience working in or migrating from a legacy/monolith system toward a modern service architecture.</li> </ul> <h4>Our tech stack</h4> <p>What you’ll actually work with, based on our current codebase.</p> <ul> <li>Language: Go.</li> <li>Web framework: Gin (gin-gonic/gin); some legacy services on raw net/http. REST/JSON (not gRPC).</li> <li>Data: MySQL (go-sql-driver/mysql, jmoiron/sqlx), DynamoDB (AWS SDK v2), PostgreSQL (lib/pq); Redis and Memcached for caching.</li> <li>Cloud & deploy: AWS — ECS, ECR, DynamoDB, S3, Secrets Manager, KMS, ACM, SSM, SES, Cognito (AWS SDK for Go v2).</li> <li>Auth & crypto: internal SvcAuth service-to-service auth, JWT (golang-jwt/jwt), golang.org/x/crypto, AES encryption.</li> <li>Testing: Go's testing, stretchr/testify, DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock.</li> <li>Build & deploy: Multi-stage Docker (golang ? scratch), Makefiles, GitLab CI (Docker-in-Docker), images to private ECR.</li> <li>Frontend (a plus): React 19, TypeScript 5.6, Vite, MUI, Redux Toolkit, Formik, Jest + React Testing Library.</li> </ul></p><p></p>

If you like owning systems and shaping how they are built, you will have that runway here.</p> <p>You will join an engineering team that uses AI-assisted development tools as a standard part of its workflow. We expect engineers to use these tools well — to move faster without sacrificing the rigor that payments demand.</p> <h4>What you'll do</h4> <ul> <li>Design, build, and maintain Go microservices (HTTP APIs, sidecars, and background processors) that handle payment authorization, tokenization, settlement, and reporting.</li> <li>Write clean, well-tested Go: table-driven unit tests, mocked dependencies, and meaningful coverage on the paths that move money.</li> <li>Profile and tune services for high throughput and low latency (pprof, benchmarking) — transaction paths are latency-sensitive.</li> <li>Integrate with relational and NoSQL data stores (MySQL, DynamoDB, PostgreSQL); design schemas, access patterns, and migrations that hold up under load and evolve safely.</li> <li>Build and consume internal service APIs, including service-to-service authentication and shared platform libraries.</li> <li>Containerize services with multi-stage Docker builds and ship them through CI/CD pipelines to cloud infrastructure.</li> <li>Integrate with third-party payment processors and AWS services, handling sensitive data in line with PCI DSS and our security standards (secure coding, data masking, TLS, secrets management).</li> <li>Build reliability into money-movement flows: idempotency, retries, and reconciliation/settlement correctness.</li> <li>Participate in code review, design discussions, on-call rotation, and incident response for the services you own.</li> <li>Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) effectively and responsibly as part of day-to-day work.</li> </ul> <h4>Requirements</h4> <ul> <li>3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with production Go experience among them (mid-level seniority).</li> <li>Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.</li> <li>Solid command of Go fundamentals: concurrency done right (goroutine lifecycle, channel discipline, context-driven cancellation), interfaces, error handling, modules, and the standard library.</li> <li>Experience building and consuming RESTful HTTP APIs, ideally with a Go web framework (we use Gin).</li> <li>Working proficiency with SQL databases (schema design, queries, transactions) — we use MySQL with sqlx.</li> <li>Comfort with Docker and CI/CD pipelines as part of a normal development workflow.</li> <li>Demonstrated experience using AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) in real project work — and good judgment about when to trust, verify, and override their output.</li> <li>Strong testing discipline and the habit of writing maintainable, reviewable code.</li> <li>Clear written and verbal communication, a collaborative and ownership-driven mindset, and comfort working in an agile/iterative team onsite.</li> </ul> <h4>Preferred qualifications</h4> <ul> <li>Payments / fintech background — payment gateways, card processing, tokenization, PCI DSS, fraud, or financial transaction systems (strongly preferred).</li> <li>Hands-on AWS experience, especially DynamoDB, S3, Secrets Manager, KMS, SSM Parameter Store, ECS, and ECR.</li> <li>Experience with microservices and distributed-systems patterns (service-to-service auth, sidecars, idempotency, retries, observability).</li> <li>Familiarity with NoSQL (DynamoDB) and/or PostgreSQL in addition to MySQL.</li> <li>Experience with secure handling of sensitive data: encryption (AES, KMS), JWT, secrets management, and secure-coding practices (OWASP, data masking, TLS).</li> <li>Payments-domain depth: settlement/reconciliation, idempotency, card-network/scheme familiarity, fraud, or financial transaction systems.</li> <li>Experience introducing observability (metrics, distributed tracing, structured logging) and/or CI quality tooling (static analysis, linting) to a growing platform.</li> <li>Database schema migration and API versioning experience.</li> <li>JavaScript / TypeScript / React — a plus. Our admin and merchant UIs are React 19 + TypeScript + Vite; full-stack contribution is welcome but not required.</li> <li>Experience working in or migrating from a legacy/monolith system toward a modern service architecture.</li> </ul> <h4>Our tech stack</h4> <p>What you’ll actually work with, based on our current codebase.</p> <ul> <li>Language: Go.</li> <li>Web framework: Gin (gin-gonic/gin); some legacy services on raw net/http. REST/JSON (not gRPC).</li> <li>Data: MySQL (go-sql-driver/mysql, jmoiron/sqlx), DynamoDB (AWS SDK v2), PostgreSQL (lib/pq); Redis and Memcached for caching.</li> <li>Cloud & deploy: AWS — ECS, ECR, DynamoDB, S3, Secrets Manager, KMS, ACM, SSM, SES, Cognito (AWS SDK for Go v2).</li> <li>Auth & crypto: internal SvcAuth service-to-service auth, JWT (golang-jwt/jwt), golang.org/x/crypto, AES encryption.</li> <li>Testing: Go's testing, stretchr/testify, DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock.</li> <li>Build & deploy: Multi-stage Docker (golang ? scratch), Makefiles, GitLab CI (Docker-in-Docker), images to private ECR.</li> <li>Frontend (a plus): React 19, TypeScript 5.6, Vite, MUI, Redux Toolkit, Formik, Jest + React Testing Library.</li> </ul></p><p></p>

Work starts from a client-facing design doc that describes data flow and outcomes but not detailed technical specs; from there you own the technical design, the implementation, your own alpha testing, and everything in between.</li> <li>Adapt to the business. Priorities can shift at short notice when urgent client issues arise, and you will be expected to flex with them.</li> <li>Mentor the next Go-into-COBOL hire as the team grows.</li> </ul> <h4>Requirements</h4> <ul> <li>4–7 years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time writing production Go.</li> <li>Comfortable working in a large, complex codebase where the answer is rarely on Stack Overflow. You enjoy reading code more than you fear it.</li> <li>Strong fundamentals: data structures, concurrency, debugging, designing for failure modes. Language familiarity matters less than the habits of mind.</li> <li>Demonstrable, judgment-led fluency with AI in a real engineering workflow. You use AI tools daily to read and understand unfamiliar code, accelerate routine work, and draft documentation, and you can explain clearly where you trust their output and where you don’t. We care less about which tools you use than about the judgement you bring to using them. This is a hard requirement for the role.</li> <li>The interpersonal maturity to learn directly from a highly experienced, exacting mentor. You can build trust, adapt to an established way of working, and absorb knowledge patiently, rather than rushing to impose your own approach before you understand why things are the way they are.</li> <li>A genuine willingness, ideally an active interest, in learning COBOL and working in a heritage system. This is not a stepping stone to a pure greenfield role; the COBOL work is the role. No prior COBOL experience is expected or needed; you will learn it here, from the person who knows it best.</li> <li>Strong written communication. You will be helping us turn tribal knowledge into durable documentation.</li> <li>Comfortable with ambiguity. The codebase has decades of history, the documentation is improving but not yet complete, and you will sometimes need to figure things out by reading and asking rather than by looking them up.</li> <li>Based in a UK/EMEA timezone and able to commit to a consistent daily overlap with California (Pacific) working hours. This is a genuine requirement of the role, not a preference: you will be learning directly from our retiring senior, who is based there, so dependable shared hours are essential. You will also keep reliable overlap with the rest of the UK/EMEA team.</li> <li>Comfortable owning the full development cycle and shifting priorities when needed. You will own projects end to end (see What you’ll do), and you will sometimes need to reprioritise at short notice for urgent client work. These are the two things new hires here most often underestimate.</li> </ul> <h4>Strong indicators</h4> <ul> <li>Experience working with or alongside legacy systems: mainframe, monolithic, or otherwise long-lived. You understand that “legacy” often means “load-bearing” and treat it with appropriate respect.</li> <li>Experience in domains with deep business logic (finance, logistics, telecoms, insurance, ERP, or similar) where correctness matters more than ergonomics.</li> <li>Comfortable in polyglot environments. Our stack includes Go, the COBOL core, and a long tail of supporting languages and platforms accumulated over years.</li> <li>Track record of improving the engineering practices around you (testing discipline, deployment hygiene, documentation, onboarding) rather than just shipping features.</li> <li>Experience pairing closely with a more senior engineer and absorbing knowledge from them.</li> <li>Experience building or working with AI-assisted developer tooling in a serious production context: agents, code generation, retrieval over large codebases, or similar. You have opinions, grounded in real use, about where it earns its keep.</li> </ul> <h4>Nice to have</h4> <ul> <li>Experience with car rental, fleet, travel, hospitality, or other operationally complex industries.</li> <li>Experience contributing to a platform modernisation, replatforming, or legacy-to-modern migration program.</li> <li>Familiarity with Perl or PostScript. Parts of the surrounding toolchain still touch both; not a blocker at all if you have not used them, but real exposure is a genuine plus.</li> </ul></p><p></p>
