Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Golang Software Engineer to design and build high-performance backend services, infrastructure tooling, and cloud-native applications using Go. In this role you will work on systems where latency, concurrency, and operational efficiency are first-class concerns, and you will contribute to a codebase shared by engineers across multiple teams. The ideal candidate will combine strong Go expertise with broad systems knowledge, including network programming, container ecosystems, and distributed system design. In this role you will work closely with cross-functional partners — product, design, engineering, operations, and business stakeholders — to translate ambiguous requirements into well-engineered solutions, and will be expected to raise the bar through code review, design review, and mentorship of more junior engineers. The successful candidate brings strong engineering discipline, a clear communication style, and a track record of shipping meaningful work that holds up well in production.

Key Responsibilities

Design and implement performant backend services and APIs in Go, with strong attention to concurrency, error handling, and resource managementBuild cloud-native applications using Go and Kubernetes-native libraries, applying idiomatic Go patterns, well-defined module boundaries, and operational hooks that make the resulting services easy to deploy and runDevelop CLI tools, Kubernetes controllers, and custom operators for internal platforms, designing clear command surfaces, robust error handling, and reconciliation logic that operates safely in long-running environmentsImplement gRPC and REST APIs with appropriate observability and securityProfile and optimize Go applications for memory, GC, and goroutine behavior, applying systematic measurement, targeted improvements, and data-driven validation to deliver quantifiable gains in throughput, latency, or resource efficiencyIntegrate with messaging systems (Kafka, NATS) and data stores (PostgreSQL, Redis, etcd)Build comprehensive automated tests, including unit, integration, and benchmark testsImplement structured logging, metrics emission, and distributed tracing throughout services so that operators and on-call engineers have the signals they need to diagnose issues and reason about system behaviorLead code reviews and uphold engineering standards in Go projectsMentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers through code review, design review, pair programming, and structured knowledge sharing, helping the broader team grow in technical maturity and confidence over timeContribute meaningfully to internal Go libraries, shared platform tooling, and reusable patterns that accelerate development across multiple engineering teams and codify hard-won best practicesMaintain comprehensive, current technical documentation — including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures — so that the system remains supportable, auditable, and easy to onboard new engineers onto over timeContin
