We are looking for a highly skilled Golang Developer to build and scale high-performance backend systems for a fast-growing technology platform. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving complex distributed systems challenges, designing scalable microservices, and building reliable APIs that power real-time workflows at scale.

As a Golang Developer, you will work closely with product, engineering, and platform teams to design and develop production-grade backend solutions. You will take end-to-end ownership of engineering problems, contribute to scalable distributed architectures, and help build systems that are resilient, efficient, and highly available.

The ideal candidate should have strong experience with Golang, distributed systems, asynchronous programming, cloud-native environments, and modern software engineering practices. You should be passionate about writing clean, testable code and building scalable systems that can handle large volumes of transactions and real-time operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and enhance scalable microservices, backend services, and platform features using Golang.
• Build and maintain robust APIs, queue contracts, and service integrations for distributed systems.
• Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Engineering Leads, and platform teams to implement scalable and reliable solutions.
• Participate in the complete software development lifecycle including planning, architecture, coding, testing, deployment, documentation, and support.
• Develop high-performance systems capable of handling real-time workflows and large-scale distributed operations.
• Work with distributed technologies such as Kafka, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, or similar platforms.
• Implement asynchronous programming patterns and optimize system performance.
• Ensure code quality through best engineering practices including code reviews, testing, and documentation.
• Mentor junior developers and promote engineering standards, clean coding practices, and TDD methodologies.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues across distributed systems and cloud-native environments.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, automation workflows, and Agile engineering practices.
• Continuously improve system reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 3–6 years of backend development experience with strong expertise in Golang.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, and scalable backend design.
• Strong knowledge of computer science fundamentals, algorithms, design patterns, and software engineering principles.
• Hands-on experience with Kafka, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, or similar distributed technologies.
• Familiarity with cloud-native environments including Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, or GCP.
• Strong understanding of asynchronous programming patterns such as Goroutines and Channels.
• Experience building and consuming REST APIs and distributed messaging systems.
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, Agile methodologies, and automated deployment workflows.
• Ability to write clean, maintainable, testable, and production-ready code.
• Strong debugging, troubleshooting, and problem-solving capabilities.
• Ability to learn new technologies quickly and adapt in fast-paced engineering environments.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills with an ownership-driven mindset.
