Descripción de la vacante

EXIT83 is seeking a Senior Go Backend Engineer to build the backend foundation for a new real-time transportation product. You will design and implement production-grade Go services, expose REST APIs, and develop secure webhook endpoints to ingest data from external systems.

Work closely with product and engineering to deliver a scalable, well-tested platform on AWS, with real-time vehicle location updates via modern delivery patterns. Independent, proactive communication is essential.

Formación

• Strong professional experience building production backend services in Go.
• Experience designing and delivering REST APIs and third-party webhook integrations.
• Strong PostgreSQL and relational data-modelling skills.
• Experience deploying and operating applications in AWS.
• Understanding of concurrent, asynchronous, and event-driven processing.
• Experience implementing idempotency, retries, and failure handling.
• Strong automated testing and debugging skills.
• Familiarity with CI/CD and modern software-delivery practices.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership, and deliver effectively.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.

Responsabilidades

• Design and build production-quality backend services in Go.
• Develop REST APIs for vehicle, route, location, and operational data, with clear contracts for the frontend application.
• Build secure webhook endpoints to ingest data from external transportation systems.
• Validate, normalize, and persist incoming events with authentication and input validation.
• Ensure webhook processing is idempotent and resilient to duplicate, delayed, or out-of-order events.
• Handle retries, failures, rate limits, and malformed payloads from third parties.
• Enable real-time or near-real-time vehicle updates using WebSockets, SSE, polling, or similar.
• Design PostgreSQL schemas for vehicles, locations, routes, and events.
• Evaluate and implement necessary asynchronous processing for the initial product.
• Deploy and operate the backend on AWS (RDS, ECS/Fargate, Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, CloudWatch).
• Document architecture, APIs, deployment, and testing procedures; provide clear handoff.
