- Work in an agile team, participate in planning, estimation, and continuous product improvement
- 5+ years of backend engineering experience, including 3+ years with Go in production
- Strong understanding of backend architecture, distributed systems, and microservices
- Experience with Go frameworks, tooling, and idiomatic code practices
- Proficiency with relational and/or NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB)
- Familiarity with event-driven systems and message brokers (Kafka, NATS, SNS/SQS, or similar)
- Advanced knowledge of unit and integration testing
- Strong communication, ownership mindset, and ability to work independently

- Experience with observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
- Familiarity with API design standards (gRPC, GraphQL, OpenAPI)
- Experience with performance optimization, load testing, and resilience patterns
- Prior experience in building social-network-like or content-centric platforms
