Golang Developer

Golang DeveloperThe Golang Developer will design, develop, enhance, and maintain Golang-based microservices supporting custom Point of Sale (POS) products and store operations. The role will also build and optimize GraphQL APIs that enable reliable interaction between enterprise applications, store applications, and supporting services. This is a hands-on engineering role requiring someone who can contribute directly to working software rather than operating primarily as an architect or technical advisor. The developer will work across the development lifecycle, including understanding requirements, designing services and APIs, writing Golang code, troubleshooting defects, supporting testing, and helping move solutions toward production. The developer will work collaboratively with Product, QA, DevOps, and Platform Engineering teams.Purpose: Build the backend services and APIs that support custom POS products and day-to-day store operations. The software delivered by this role will contribute directly to the technology used by enterprise and store applications to execute critical operating processes.Growth: Deepen hands-on expertise in Golang, microservices, GraphQL, API engineering, and modern software delivery while working across Product, QA, DevOps, and Platform Engineering. The role provides the opportunity to solve real production engineering problems in a distributed application environment rather than working on isolated development assignments.Motivators: This opportunity is best suited to an engineer who enjoys building software and seeing it used in an operating environment. The developer will have direct ownership for creating and improving Golang microservices and GraphQL APIs while collaborating with multiple technical disciplines to get working solutions through development, testing, deployment, and support.Performance Objectives:Rapidly Contribute Production-Quality Golang Microservices.Build and Optimize GraphQL APIs for Enterprise and Store Applications.Strengthen Reliability and Supportability of POS and Store-Operations Services.Deliver Effectively Across the Cross-Functional Engineering Lifecycle.Critical Subtasks:Learn the POS Architecture and Development Environment.Design and Develop Golang Microservices.Develop and Optimize GraphQL APIs.Test and Troubleshoot Application Functionality.Support Deployment and Production Readiness.Improve Existing Services and Engineering Practices.Continuously Evaluate and Integrate AI to Improve Performance.Requirements:The core requirement is strong hands-on Golang development capability. The successful candidate must be capable of personally designing, developing, maintaining, and troubleshooting Golang-based microservices rather than simply having worked on a team where Golang was present. Strong GraphQL development experience is also important. The individual should be capable of building and optimizing GraphQL APIs and troubleshooting interactions between APIs, backend services, and consuming enterprise or store applications. The candidate should demonstrate experience working in a microservices environment and be comfortable investigating technical problems that cross service boundaries. The role also requires effective collaboration with Product, QA, DevOps, and Platform Engineering teams. Technical capability must therefore be combined with clear communication, ownership, and the ability to work effectively across the software-delivery lifecycle.Ideal Profile:The strongest candidate is a hands-on Golang engineer who can enter an existing microservices environment, understand the architecture quickly, and begin contributing meaningful production code with limited ramp-up time.Definition of Success:The individual is successfully building and maintaining Golang microservices, developing and optimizing GraphQL APIs, resolving defects, and collaborating effectively with Product, QA, DevOps, and Platform Engineering. Most importantly, the developer has demonstrated through actual delivery that they can take a requirement from "this POS or store application needs this capability" to a tested, reliable Golang service and GraphQL API ready for production, establishing a strong performance basis for potential conversion to a longer-term role.
