Requirements

• Strong hands-on experience with Golang (Go) in building and operating production-grade backend systems.
  
• Solid understanding of Go concurrency patterns, including goroutines, channels, context management, and synchronization.
  
• Strong understanding of design patterns, architectural principles, and system design.
  
• Hands-on experience with databases, data modeling, query optimization, and REST/gRPC API development.
  
• Experience with microservices, event-driven architectures, asynchronous processing, and distributed systems.
  
• Strong understanding of distributed consistency, concurrency, scalability, and failure handling.
  
• Knowledge of application security, authentication, authorization, and secure data handling.
  
• Working knowledge of DevOps fundamentals, including CI/CD, Docker, containers, and Kubernetes.
  
• Experience with cloud platforms, preferably Google Cloud Platform (GCP); AWS experience is also acceptable.
  
• Ability to work independently, communicate technical decisions, and mentor teammates in a remote environment.
