Remotely
Full-time
We're seeking an accomplished Senior Golang Developer to fortify our engineering cadre. In this fully distributed role, you'll architect resilient, horizontally-scalable backend ecosystems while harnessing cutting-edge Go programming constructs (Go 1.21+). Your profound expertise—accumulated over 3+ years of professional Go development—will be instrumental in crafting fault-tolerant distributed infrastructures that underpin our expanding digital footprint. Are you prepared to elevate mission-critical systems to unprecedented performance levels?
Key Responsibilities
- Orchestrate and implement scalable backend services utilizing contemporary Golang (1.21+) paradigms and idiomatic patterns.
- Conceptualize distributed architectures with heightened availability coefficients and fault-tolerance mechanisms.
- Optimize data persistence strategies through NoSQL technologies, particularly Couchbase 7.x and Elasticsearch 8.x infrastructures.
- Calibrate and maintain MySQL/Percona Server deployments for maximum throughput and operational reliability.
- Engineer microservice ecosystems using gRPC v1.60+ protocols for streamlined inter-service communication pathways.
- Provision and administer containerized workloads within Kubernetes 1.28+ orchestration environments.
- Establish comprehensive telemetry frameworks leveraging Prometheus time-series databases and Grafana visualization dashboards.
- Craft meticulous unit and load-testing suites to safeguard code integrity, reliability metrics, and performance benchmarks.
- Synergize with cross-functional teams to conceptualize, design, and deploy novel capabilities.
- Enhance application velocity through rigorous code examination, profiling methodologies, and strategic refactoring initiatives.
Required Skills
- Minimum 3+ years of professional Golang development experience, including familiarity with recent language iterations (Go 1.18+).
- Profound comprehension of Go best practices, concurrency primitives, and standard library utilities.
- Demonstrable proficiency with NoSQL datastores, with particular emphasis on Couchbase 7.x and Elasticsearch 8.x implementations.
- Advanced command of MySQL/Percona server configuration, optimization techniques, and troubleshooting methodologies.
- Practical experience implementing and maintaining gRPC communication frameworks.
- Kubernetes expertise (version 1.25+) for container orchestration, stateful workload management, and deployment automation.
- Hands-on experience with Prometheus ecosystems for comprehensive system monitoring and alert propagation.
- Sophisticated understanding of multithreaded programming concepts and goroutine lifecycle management.
- Proven capability to construct comprehensive test suites using Go's native testing facilities and extended frameworks.
- Mastery of application optimization techniques and system tuning strategies for maximizing resource utilization.
- Experience crafting RESTful API interfaces adhering to industry best practices and design principles.
- Exceptional analytical faculties and meticulous attention to implementation details.
Nice to Have
- Practical exposure to major cloud infrastructure providers (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and their respective service offerings.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipeline orchestration using contemporary tooling (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins).
- Working knowledge of message-oriented middleware solutions such as Apache Kafka or RabbitMQ.
- Experience developing and deploying GraphQL API endpoints with Go-based implementations.
- Adeptness with Docker containerization strategies, particularly multi-stage build optimization.
- Contributions to open-source Go initiatives or substantial personal projects with public repositories.
- Practical implementation of distributed tracing frameworks such as Jaeger, Zipkin, or OpenTelemetry.
- Comprehensive understanding of backend security postures and API hardening methodologies.
What We Offer
- Entirely remote working arrangement with adaptable scheduling across global time zones.
- Engagement with intellectually stimulating technical challenges having tangible real-world impact.
- Highly competitive compensation structure and comprehensive benefits portfolio.
- Dedicated professional development allocation and continuous learning opportunities.
- Collaborative team ethos centered on innovation and knowledge dissemination.
- Sustained career advancement prospects within a stable, enduring position.
- Progressive technology stack embodying industry-leading practices.
- Non-hierarchical organizational framework providing direct channels to decision authorities.
