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.
