Job summary

Bright Vision Technologies is seeking an experienced Golang Developer to design and build high‑performance backend services, infrastructure tooling, and cloud-native applications using Go. You will work on latency‑sensitive systems and contribute to a codebase shared across multiple teams.

The ideal candidate has strong Go expertise, system design knowledge, and a track record of delivering production-quality code.

Qualifications

• Five or more years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time in Go.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Strong understanding of Go concurrency patterns (goroutines, channels, contexts).
• Hands-on experience building production gRPC and/or REST APIs in Go.
• Experience with Kubernetes-native development (client-go, controller-runtime).
• Solid experience with relational and key-value data stores.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement performant backend services and APIs in Go, with strong attention to concurrency, error handling, and resource management.
• Build cloud-native applications using Go and Kubernetes-native libraries, applying idiomatic Go patterns, well-defined module boundaries, and operational hooks that make the resulting services easy to deploy and run.
• Develop CLI tools, Kubernetes controllers, and custom operators for internal platforms, designing clear command surfaces, robust error handling, and reconciliation logic that operates safely in long-running environments.
• Implement gRPC and REST APIs with appropriate observability and security.
• Profile and optimize Go applications for memory, GC, and goroutine behavior, applying systematic measurement, targeted improvements, and data-driven validation to deliver quantifiable gains in throughput, latency, or resource efficiency.
• Integrate with messaging systems (Kafka, NATS) and data stores (PostgreSQL, Redis, etcd).
• Build comprehensive automated tests, including unit, integration, and benchmark tests.
• Implement structured logging, metrics emission, and distributed tracing throughout services so that operators and on-call engineers have the signals they need to diagnose issues and reason about system behavior.
• Lead code reviews and uphold engineering standards in Go projects.
• Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers through code review, design review, pair programming, and structured knowledge sharing, helping the broader team grow in technical maturity and confidence over time.
• Contribute meaningfully to internal Go libraries, shared platform tooling, and reusable patterns that accelerate development across multiple engineering teams and codify hard-won best practices.
• Maintain comprehensive, current technical documentation — including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures — so that the system remains supportable, auditable, and easy to onboard new engineers onto over time.
• Continuously evaluate Go ecosystem evolution and contribute to internal patterns.
