  • Apply deep knowledge of Go's concurrency model (goroutines, channels, etc.) to solve real-time processing challenges.
  • Avoid common pitfalls such as memory leaks, race conditions, and excessive garbage collection.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of development workflows and system observability.
What You'll Bring
  • Proven experience in Golang development for production systems.
  • Strong command of Go's performance tuning, memory management, and concurrency patterns.
  • Recent hands-on experience with Go in high-throughput environments.
  • Expertise in networking, async processing, and Kafka integration.
  • Familiarity with Open Telemetry and observability best practices.
  • Experience working in microservices-based architectures.
  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
