Remote Backend Developer

Venture-backed Miami based tech startup seeking an experienced Backend Developer.

GoTu is changing the way the world works – starting with the Dental Industry! We are an ambitious and motivated tech startup that has secured multiple rounds of venture backing to create an Uber-like platform/app to disrupt the dental staffing industry. After launching in late 2019, we have already built the largest community of nationwide hygienists and dental offices, dwarfing our established competition in the dental tech staffing space. It is truly a matter of time until GoTu is the industry standard for dental staffing needs in the Dental Community!

Working with GoTu means you will be working alongside committed fellow engineers who know their work is critical to the company’s success. We are a people-first company that actively seeks your input to make you more successful in your role! We like to have fun with our work and encourage you to get to know the people you work with. We have a motto – Hard work doesn’t have to be serious!
