• Database Management: Integrate and optimize backend services with SQL/NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis).
• Code Quality & Testing: Write clean, predictable, and idiomatic Go code while ensuring high test coverage via unit and integration testing.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with the client’s internal DevOps and frontend teams to seamlessly deploy and integrate new features in an Agile environment.
• Experience:5–10 years of professional backend engineering experience, with dedicated, production-level Golang development.
• Kafka Expertise: Proven experience designing and implementing Apache Kafka in production environments (understanding partitions, replication, and event-driven patterns is a must).
• Core Go Mastery: Strong command over Go syntax, memory allocation, pointers, and concurrency primitives (Goroutines and channels).
• Web Frameworks: Hands-on experience with modern Go frameworks and routers (e.g., Gin, Echo, Fiber, or Gorilla Mux).
• Cloud & Containers: Solid familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes), preferably within a cloud environment (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Communication: Exceptional problem-solving skills and clear communication, as you will be collaborating with stakeholders across the client's business.
• Experience with Kafka Connect, Schema Registry, or Kafka Streams.
• Understanding of CI/CD pipeline automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform.
• Experience migrating legacy systems (e.g., Java, Python, or Node.js) over to Go microservices.
• Healthcare insurance for you and your family (medical, dental, vision).
• Short / Long term disability insurance.
• Life Insurance.
• Accidental death & disability Insurance.
• 401K.
• 3 weeks of Paid Time Off.
• Support and fee coverage for immigration needs.
• Remote office set up stipend.
