Job description

Must-Have (Non-Negotiable)

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 5+ years in Go.
• Proven ability to solve complex problems end-to-end, not just implement tickets.
• Deep understanding of Go’s concurrency model (goroutines, channels, memory model).
• Strong grasp of computer fundamentals: memory, CPU, I/O.
• Experience with distributed systems, APIs, and cloud-native environments.
• Skilled in profiling, benchmarking, and optimizing Go applications.
• Demonstrated mentorship and leadership experience.
• Clear communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice-to-Have (Differentiators)

• Background in computer science, mathematics, or engineering.
• Knowledge of abstract mathematics, set theory, or calculus.
• Experience in regulated or mission-critical domains (gambling, HealthTech, finance, public sector).
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, testing strategies, and DevOps.
• Exposure to low-level systems programming (C, Rust, or assembly).
• Track record of designing scalable architectures and making pragmatic trade-offs.

This is a contract role, fully remote, and offers a chance to work on high-impact systems with a team that values deep technical expertise and thoughtful engineering.
