• Implementation of event brokers (Solace / Kafka) , with a preference for Solace.
• End-to-end cloud deployment on Azure , using containerized solutions (OpenShift preferred).
• Integration of pub / sub messaging patterns and asynchronous workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Go Development : Design, build, and maintain high-performance backend services in GoLang.
• Event-Driven Architecture : Implement EDA using Kafka / Solace, with a focus on pub / sub messaging and event sourcing.
• Cloud Modernization : Deploy and manage scalable microservices on Azure, leveraging OpenShift (OCP) or Kubernetes / Docker.
• CI / CD Pipelines : Develop and optimize CI / CD workflows, preferably using Azure DevOps.
• System Monitoring : Troubleshoot and monitor applications using Grafana / Splunk (preferred) or Prometheus / AWS CloudWatch.
• API Integration : Enhance REST / RPC APIs with tools like Swagger, Proto Buff, and Postman.
• Collaboration : Work in Agile teams to document low-level designs (Visio / Plant UML) and refine system workflows.

Must-Have :

• 5+ years of backend development, with 3+ years focused on GoLang (Java / C++ alone insufficient).
• Hands-on experience with event brokers (Solace or Kafka; Solace preferred).
• Proven track record in designing event-driven systems and pub / sub messaging patterns.
• Expertise in Azure cloud deployment (IaaS / PaaS) and container orchestration (OpenShift / OCP preferred; Kubernetes / Docker acceptable).
• Proficiency in CI / CD pipelines (Azure DevOps preferred).
• Strong knowledge of REST / RPC APIs , Swagger / Proto Buff, and testing tools (Postman).
• Experience with NoSQL databases (MongoDB) and SQL databases (SQL Managed Instance).
• Familiarity with monitoring tools (Grafana / Splunk preferred; Prometheus / AWS CloudWatch acceptable).

Nice-to-Have :

• Experience with choreography patterns in distributed systems.
• Background in financial systems (FX / payments, ISO standards, REST / SOAP).
• Exposure to high-performance environments (streaming platforms, NBFCs).
• Scalable microservices aligned with EDA principles.
• Robust CI / CD pipelines for Azure deployments.
• Well-documented APIs and system workflows.
