Senior Golang Developer

Description:

Design and develop scalable, high-availability backend services using Golang.

• Build and maintain RESTful APIs and/or gRPC services, including protobuf contracts and versioning practices.
• Own services end-to-end: design, implementation, code reviews, release, and production support/troubleshooting.
• Implement microservices architectures with clear boundaries, reliable communication patterns, and fault tolerance.
• Work with asynchronous/event-driven components (message brokers such as Kafka/RabbitMQ/NATS are a plus)
• Containerize applications (Docker) and deploy/manage services on Kubernetes (EKS/GKE/AKS depending on environment)
• Write unit/integration tests and ensure service quality via automation and code review practices.
• Implement secure API practices (authentication/authorization) and follow engineering best practices.

Relevant Experience

8 years

Mandatory skills

8+ years overall backend development experience with 5+ years in Golang in production environments

• Golang – Must have very good hands on knowledge of development based on golang (concurrency, hwo to solve potential issues in high volume calls, etc)
• Building and deploying on google gcp (If not google, then AWS / Azure exp also ok, but candidate must be able to adopt and work on Google Cloud) and use github and CI/CD tools effectively
• Grpc ( protocol used for golang APIs) - not mandatory, but would be helpful if candidates know how to use it
