Go Backend Engineer

Project Description 
We are transforming our fleet management platform and data processing infrastructure from a monolithic application to a modern, event-driven microservices architecture. This includes shifting from a tightly coupled relational database to a scalable, multi-tenant event stream platform and Kubernetes operators development. 

Job Description 

We are seeking an experienced Go Backend Engineer to join the team responsible for transforming the platform into a multi-tenant, event-driven architecture. The ideal candidate has deep hands-on experience with Go microservices, distributed data flows, and Kubernetes-based deployments in cloud environments. 

This role involves designing and developing backend services, integrating real-time messaging pipelines, ensuring high observability standards, and collaborating with platform, data, and DevOps teams. 

Technical Requirements 

• 5+ years of backend software development experience. 
• Strong professional experience with Go (Golang). 
• Practical experience designing or maintaining microservices. 
• Experience with event-driven messaging systems such as Apache Pulsar (preferred), Kafka, or NATS. 
• Hands-on knowledge of Kubernetes, including deployments, scaling, and configuration. 
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure). 

Cloud & Deployment 

• Hands-on knowledge of Kubernetes, including deployments, scaling, and configuration. 
• Practical experience with Kubernetes operators, CRDs, Helm. 
• Understanding of cloud CI/CD systems and delivery pipelines (GitHub Actions). 

Data 

• Experience with PostgreSQL and Redis. 
• Understanding of Data Engineering concepts, including ETL/ELT and streaming workflows. 

Nice to Have 

• Experience with C/C++ (networking, concurrency, high-performance systems). 
• Experience with Python, especially for data workflows. 
• Experience with the Ruby on Rails ecosystem. 
• Experience designing and building multi-tenant data architectures. 
• Experience implementing observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry). 

Responsibilities 

• Design, implement, and maintain Go microservices powering the data platform. 
• Integrate services with Apache Pulsar (or equivalent streaming tools) to support real-time data distribution. 
• Ensure observability and reliability through logging, metrics, and tracing. 
• Deploy and maintain services in Kubernetes environments across cloud platforms. 
• Collaborate with Data Engineering, Platform, and DevOps teams during the architecture and implementation stages. 
• Participate in technical discussions, code reviews, and performance optimizations.
