  • Strong understanding of concurrency models, with practical experience in implementing asynchronous workflows, inter-process communication, and synchronization techniques.
  • Skilled in designing, building, and consuming RESTful APIs, following best practices for API design and performance optimization.
  • Proven experience working with databases, both relational (e.g., PostgreSQL) and non-relational (e.g., Redis, MongoDB, DynamoDB), including data modeling, query optimization, and performance tuning.
  • Experienced in writing unit tests, integration tests, and benchmarks, with a test-driven development mindset.
  • Comfortable with networking protocols and distributed communication patterns (e.g., gRPC, WebSockets, TCP/UDP).
  • Experienced in building scalable microservices architectures and distributed systems.
  • Knowledgeable in applying software engineering best practices and design patterns for maintainable, testable code.
  • Skilled in using DevOps tools and practices, including Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code.
  • Familiar with Git workflows and collaborative development processes such as pull requests, code reviews, and agile methodologies.
  • Demonstrated accountability for technical outcomes and ownership of end-to-end feature delivery.
  • Effective communicator in English, both written and verbal, suitable for a remote and largely asynchronous work environment.

Nice to Have

  • Proficient in writing idiomatic Go code, with solid understanding of the language’s core features such as interfaces, structs, composition, and error handling.
  • Competent in profiling and performance tuning using Go’s built-in tools such as pprof and trace, with a focus on optimization.
  • Demonstrated experience with event-driven architectures, including the implementation of producers and consumers using platforms like Kafka, RabbitMQ, or ActiveMQ.
  • Solid hands-on experience deploying, monitoring, and maintaining applications on Kubernetes.
  • Working knowledge of cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle Cloud) with experience deploying cloud-native applications.
  • Hands-on experience with observability and monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana.
  • Experience with MSML and SIP is a strong plus.
