About Skillfield


Skillfield is a specialist technology consultancy operating at the intersection of cyber, data, and AI. We partner with enterprise clients to protect, transform, and empower their organisations with forward-thinking solutions. Our reputation is built on outcomes, not effort.


 


The Opportunity


Contract - 6 months fixed term, with potential for extension


Hybrid - Melbourne


We’re seeking a Senior Golang Engineer with deep expertise in building high-performance, low latency systems to join our engineering team. This role is critical to delivering a specialised decoder capable of capturing and processing high-throughput UDP traffic and pushing it to Kafka with zero packet loss.


This is an exciting opportunity for a developer who thrives on performance challenges, understands the intricacies of Go’s concurrency model, and is passionate about writing efficient, production-grade code.


 


What You’ll Do



System Development & Performance Engineering



  • Design and develop high-performance Golang applications for real-time UDP packet capture and Kafka integration.

  • Write highly optimised, memory-efficient Go code with a focus on throughput and reliability.

  • Ensure packet sequence integrity without relying on parallel threads.

  • Implement robust observability using Open Telemetry and other monitoring tools.



Architecture & Collaboration



  • Work within a microservices architecture, contributing to scalable and maintainable system design.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including architects, DevOps, and product stakeholders.

  • Translate complex technical requirements into clean, performant implementations.



Best Practices & Innovation



  • Apply deep knowledge of Go’s concurrency model (goroutines, channels, etc.) to solve real-time processing challenges.

  • Avoid common pitfalls such as memory leaks, race conditions, and excessive garbage collection.

  • Contribute to continuous improvement of development workflows and system observability.


 


What You’ll Bring



  • Proven experience in Golang development for production systems.

  • Strong command of Go’s performance tuning, memory management, and concurrency patterns.

  • Recent hands-on experience with Go in high-throughput environments.

  • Expertise in networking, async processing, and Kafka integration.

  • Familiarity with Open Telemetry and observability best practices.

  • Experience working in microservices-based architectures.

  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.


 


Please note successful candidates will be required to sign a general NDA and, where applicable, per project NDAs.


 


Why Join Skillfield?



  • Be part of a team solving real-world, high-impact engineering challenges.

  • Join a culture that values technical excellence, autonomy, and shared success.

  • Enjoy flexibility, support, and performance-based recognition.
