The Opportunity

Contract - 6 months fixed term, with potential for extension

Hybrid - Melbourne

We're seeking a Senior Golang Engineer with deep expertise in building high-performance, low latency systems to join our engineering team. This role is critical to delivering a specialised decoder capable of capturing and processing high-throughput UDP traffic and pushing it to Kafka with zero packet loss.

This is an exciting opportunity for a developer who thrives on performance challenges, understands the intricacies of Go's concurrency model, and is passionate about writing efficient, production-grade code.

What You'll Do

System Development & Performance Engineering

- Design and develop high-performance Golang applications for real-time UDP packet capture and Kafka integration.
- Write highly optimised, memory-efficient Go code with a focus on throughput and reliability.
- Ensure packet sequence integrity without relying on parallel threads.
- Implement robust observability using Open Telemetry and other monitoring tools.

Architecture & Collaboration

- Work within a microservices architecture, contributing to scalable and maintainable system design.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including architects, DevOps, and product stakeholders.
- Translate complex technical requirements into clean, performant implementations.

Best Practices & Innovation

- 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.

Please note successful candidates will be required to sign a general NDA and, where applicable, per project NDAs.

Why Join Skillfield?

- Be part of a team solving real-world, high-impact engineering challenges.
- Join a culture that values technical excellence, autonomy, and shared success.
- Enjoy flexibility, support, and performance-based recognition.
