Job description

Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Golang Developer who’s strong across distributed systems, event-driven architecture, and performance engineering. You’ll own complex backend challenges and build services that are reliable, scalable, and observable in production.

We’re looking for a Senior Golang Developer who’s strong across distributed systems, event-driven architecture, and performance engineering. You’ll own complex backend challenges and build services that are reliable, scalable, and observable in production. You’ll architect our core microservices, design event-driven pipelines, and ensure every system you ship is observable and compliance‑ready. The work isn’t just about writing performant Go. It’s about owning the full lifecycle of backend services that the rest of the platform depends on.

This role is on‑site at our Ahmedabad office. You’ll work closely with product and engineering teams, and your architectural decisions will have a direct impact on how we build, scale, and operate our platform.

Requirements

Must-have

• Deep proficiency in Go with a solid understanding of goroutines, channels, and memory management.
• Proven experience designing and maintaining microservices and distributed systems in production.
• Strong experience with event-driven architecture and message brokers such as Kafka or NATS.

Good to have

• Hands-on experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud platforms (AWS).
• Experience with observability tooling including Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
• Proficiency in data modeling and query optimization across SQL and NoSQL databases.

What you'll do

• Architect and build scalable, reliable microservices using Go, owning services from design through production deployment on Kubernetes.
• Design event-driven architectures using Kafka or NATS to handle high-volume data ingestion and processing.
• Build observable systems with comprehensive monitoring, logging, and distributed tracing to ensure system health and fast debugging.
• Design and optimize data storage solutions across SQL and NoSQL databases for performance and reliability.
• Write clean, efficient code backed by robust automated testing covering unit, integration, and contract tests.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define APIs, gRPC interfaces, and ensure seamless service integration.
• Apply compliance-based development practices and maintain strong security standards across backend services.
• Mentor junior engineers, conduct thorough code reviews, and advocate for engineering best practices.
