We are seeking a Senior GoLang Developer to lead the development of scalable, resilient backend services. You will architect and implement core platform components, optimize system performance, and collaborate closely with product, DevOps, and engineering leadership. This role requires deep expertise in Go, strong systems-level thinking, and the ability to influence engineering direction. You'll enjoy working 100% remote in this full-time opportunity.

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.
