Our client, a Fortune 500 financial services organization, is seeking a Senior Golang Developer to join their backend development team. In this high-impact role, you will immediately contribute to critical initiatives across key projects, supporting sensitive and business-critical systems. This is an excellent opportunity for a self-sufficient senior engineer who thrives in fast-paced environments, can work with minimal oversight, and is comfortable delivering results on high-visibility projects.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

\n
• Leverage your Go/Golang and broader development skills to build and enhance features for a case management and workflow system, ensuring seamless integration with CRM and case management products such as Salesforce.
\n
• Design, build, and maintain scalable REST and GraphQL APIs that support business-critical workflows, system integrations, and distributed application services.
\n
• Apply distributed-systems thinking to maintain platform scalability, reliability, and resilience.
\n
• Establish and promote coding best practices across repositories, conduct constructive peer code reviews, and own the CI/CD, test, and release pipelines in GitLab.
\n
• Collaborate closely with DevOps to design, implement, and maintain Terraform infrastructure for AWS deployments (ECS Fargate, ALB, RDS, Secrets Manager, S3, ECR, CloudWatch).
\n
• Contribute to AI-driven workflows, including building stateful LLM-driven flows (LangGraph or similar), and integrating decision engines (GoRules, ZEN, Drools, JSON-Logic) for case-routing and policy logic.
\n
• Utilize AI engineering tools (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor) for code generation, test scaffolding, and day-to-day engineering automation.
\n
• Author and integrate decision tables into application code using embeddable rules engines.
\n
• Triage and resolve production and integration issues to ensure system stability and performance.
\n
• Work independently and proactively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, delivering high-quality solutions with minimal oversight.
\n

WHAT YOU BRING:

\n
• Extensive experience in full stack development with Golang.
\n
• In-depth experience with GraphQL combined with intermediate Golang knowledge may also be considered.
\n
• Hands-on experience with RDS databases (Postgres, MySQL), schema migration tooling, and Redis for caching and pub/sub.
\n
• Proven ability to deploy applications to AWS using ECS Fargate, ALB, RDS, Secrets Manager, S3, ECR, and CloudWatch.
\n
• Comfortable with Terraform (private module registries, multi-region, multi-account patterns) and GitLab CI/CD pipelines (terraform-plan/apply, image scanning, kaniko builds).
\n
• Experience using AI tooling (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor) for code generation, test scaffolding, and engineering automation.
\n
• Familiarity with LangGraph or similar agent/workflow orchestration frameworks for LLM-driven flows.
\n
• Experience with embeddable rules engines (GoRules, ZEN, Drools, JSON-Logic) and authoring decision tables.
\n
• Experience integrating CRM and Case Management products such as Salesforce.
\n
• Ability to build features for case management and workflow systems.
\n
• Strong distributed-systems thinking to ensure platform scalability, reliability, and resilience.
\n
• Ability to establish coding best practices, conduct peer code reviews, and manage CI/CD pipelines.
\n
• Experience partnering with DevOps on Terraform infrastructure for AWS deployments.
\n
• Ability to contribute to AI-driven workflows and decision engines for case-routing and policy logic.
