Senior Go Developer
London, UK
6 Month Contract

An incredible opportunity for an experienced Senior Go Developer with strong backend engineering skills to join a prestigious tech client on a contract basis. Known for its high bar for engineering quality, this isn't your typical banking or fintech gig - contractors here are genuinely embedded, involved, and making meaningful impact from day one.

As a Senior Go Developer, you'll play a key role in building mission-critical, data-driven services that power core parts of the platform. You'll take ownership across the full development lifecycle, from system design and implementation to optimisation and release.

You'll be working in an open, fast-moving environment where ideas get tested quickly and good engineering practices are taken seriously. If you like seeing your work go live within days - not weeks - you'll fit right in. Contractors are treated as part of the team, contributing to technical decisions, stand-ups, and everything in between.

Reporting into an Engineering Manager, you'll be hands-on with technologies like AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, and Kafka, and will collaborate closely with product and infrastructure teams to ship well-architected, scalable microservices.

This is a team that values clean systems, clear thinking, and code that lasts. You'll have the freedom to shape how things are built and the trust to get on with it - whether that's improving infrastructure, shipping new features, or quietly refactoring something that needs it.

• Significant professional experience in software development, with a strong focus on backend systems
• Proficiency in Go / Golang and proven expertise in AWS, Kubernetes, and Docker
• Experience with end-to-end software engineering, including system design and architecture
• Hands-on experience working on complex, data-intensive applications
• A product-focused mindset and familiarity with working in technology-driven organisations or start-ups
• Experience with Kafka, Cassandra, gRPC, and microservices architecture will also be beneficial, as well as experience contributing to open-source projects

If you're a Senior Go Developer looking for a fast-paced, collaborative contract role where your work will ship quickly and matter to real users - apply now. Our client is ready to move quickly for the right person.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation, or age.
