In this role, you will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining high-performance, scalable microservices using Go. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure our systems are stable, secure, and capable of handling large-scale, real-time data. This position is ideal for someone who is passionate about cutting-edge technologies, cloud-native architecture, and delivering high-quality solutions in a fast-paced environment.

Technical & Operational Duties

• Microservices Architecture: Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable microservices using Golang.
• Containerization & Orchestration: Leverage Docker for containerization and Kubernetes (including Ingress controllers) for orchestration to deploy and manage services at scale.
• Messaging & Integration: Integrate with and optimize various message brokers (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, NATS) for real-time data streaming and event-driven architectures.
• Caching & Data Storage: Implement advanced caching strategies using Redis, and interact with both SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) databases.
• Monitoring & Observability: Set up and manage robust monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions using tools like Grafana and Prometheus to ensure system health and reliability.
• Performance Optimization: Identify and resolve bottlenecks, debug performance issues, and ensure efficient concurrency and memory management.
• Best Practices & Standards: Champion coding standards, testing practices, and code quality to maintain a clean, stable codebase.
• Collaboration & Leadership: Work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver high-quality features and mentor junior team members.

General Administrative Duties

• Active team player, self-starter, and multitasker who can quickly adjust priorities
