Key Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and maintain high‑performance backend services using Go.
  • Architect distributed systems and microservices with a focus on scalability, reliability, and observability.
  • Optimize performance across APIs, data pipelines, and service‑to‑service communication.
  • Implement best practices for code quality, testing, CI/CD, and cloud‑native deployment.
  • Collaborate cross‑functionally with product managers, DevOps, and frontend teams to deliver end‑to‑end solutions.
  • Lead technical decisions around system design, data modeling, and infrastructure.
  • Mentor junior and mid‑level engineers, providing code reviews and architectural guidance.
  • Troubleshoot complex production issues, including performance bottlenecks and distributed system failures.
  • Contribute to technical roadmaps and long‑term engineering strategy.
Required Qualifications
  • 5–8+ years of backend engineering experience, with 3+ years of hands‑on Go development.
  • Strong understanding of concurrency patterns, goroutines, channels, and Go memory management.
  • Experience building microservices and distributed systems at scale.
  • Proficiency with REST, gRPC, GraphQL, or event‑driven architectures.
  • Deep experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Strong knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases, caching layers, and message queues.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).
  • Ability to write clean, maintainable, idiomatic Go code.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to lead technical discussions.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with high‑throughput, low‑latency systems.
  • Background in DevOps, infrastructure‑as‑code, or SRE practices.
  • Experience with Kafka, NATS, RabbitMQ, or similar messaging systems.
  • Knowledge of domain‑driven design (DDD) or clean architecture.
  • Contributions to open‑source Go projects.
