Senior Backend Engineer – Go

Senior Backend Engineer – Go (7+ Years Experience)About You: You are a seasoned backend engineer with 7+ years of professional experience, with deepexpertise in Golang and Python.

You have architected and maintained high-performance,distributed systems and bring a track record of delivering robust APIs, scalable microservices,and automation scripts across dynamic, product-focused environments.

You are highly proficient in Golang's concurrency model and also fluent in using Python forbuilding APIs (e.g., using Fast API or Flask) and scripting automation tasks.

You bring strong Dev Ops sensibilities, follow infrastructure-as-code principles, and build cloud-nativeapplications using Docker and Kubernetes.

Your work reflects a commitment to code quality,performance tuning, and observability, and you are comfortable collaborating cross-functionallyto ship impactful features.

Your Role & Impact:
• Design, implement, and maintain scalable backend services using Golang and Python,supporting both synchronous APIs and asynchronous, event-driven processes.
• Write and optimize RESTful APIs using Golang and Python frameworks like Fast API or Flask, and integrate them into broader platform systems.
• Build and maintain automation scripts, tools, and services in Python to streamlineoperations, monitoring, and Dev Ops workflows.
• Own the entire development lifecycle—from requirement gathering and system design todevelopment, deployment, and post-release monitoring.
• Ensure high system availability, fault tolerance, and low-latency performance throughrobust architecture, caching strategies, and failover designs.
• Collaborate with product managers and designers to translate requirements into engineeringdeliverables, with frequent iteration.
• Take part in code reviews, system design sessions, and performance debugging, whilementoring junior developers.
• Contribute to evolving our microservices architecture, defining internal APIs, andimproving cross-service communication.

Key Technical Skills:
• Expert-level proficiency in Golang, including strong understanding of Go Routines, Channels, Contexts, and the Go memory model.
• Hands-on experience with Python, particularly in:◦ API development (Fast API, Flask, Django)◦ Scripting and automation for Dev Ops, monitoring, or data processing.
• Deep experience in building and scaling cloud-native systems using Docker and Kubernetes in production environments.
• Proficiency in relational databases (Postgre SQL, My SQL) and No SQL systems(Mongo DB, Redis).
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures, using tools like Kafka, Rabbit MQ, or NATS.
• Strong understanding of software observability (logs, metrics, tracing) using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Open Telemetry.
• CI/CD pipeline development using tools such as Git Hub Actions, Argo CD, or Jenkins.
• Experience with secure API design, authentication protocols (OAuth2, JWT), and rolebasedaccess control.

Bonus / Preferred Qualifications:
• Familiarity with GCP, AWS, or other major cloud providers.
• Solid grounding in Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Clean Architecture.
• Background in performance profiling and optimization.

Who You Are:
• You have end-to-end ownership mentality—from writing production-grade code tomonitoring and debugging live systems.
• You are comfortable in environments that demand agility, pragmatism, and the ability tomake informed trade-offs between velocity and quality.
• You've faced production fire-fights and understand the nuances of scaling systems andkeeping SLAs in check.
• You communicate clearly, give and receive feedback constructively, and contribute to aculture of learning and growth.
• You're not afraid of rolling up your sleeves to fix a production bug, write a script, updateinfrastructure, or talk to a customer.
