We’re hiring a Go Engineer to build ultra-scalable, high-performance backend services for real-time payments infrastructure. You’ll own system design, write production-grade Go code, and drive performance at global scale in a collaborative, high-impact environment.

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable, high-performance backend systems using Go (Golang).
• Lead system design and architecture discussions for new and existing services.
• Write clean, efficient, and testable code following Go best practices and concurrency patterns.
• Collaborate with product managers, frontend engineers, and DevOps to deliver end-to-end features.
• Optimize applications for performance, scalability, and reliability (low-latency, high-throughput).
• Participate in code reviews, ensure code quality, and mentor junior engineers.
• Identify performance bottlenecks and design robust, fault-tolerant solutions.
• Quickly ramp up on new technologies, business domains, and codebases.
• Contribute to improving development processes, automation, and CI/CD pipelines.

• 5+ years of backend development experience.
• Strong proficiency in Go with deep understanding of goroutines, channels, context, and error handling.
• Experience building distributed systems, microservices, and REST/gRPC APIs.
• Hands-on with message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ), databases (PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Redis), and observability (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).
• Familiarity with cloud-native environments (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Proven ability to profile, debug, and optimize Go services under load.
• Excellent problem-solving, system design, and communication skills.
• Passion for clean code, testing (unit/integration), and mentoring.

• Experience in payments, fintech, or high-frequency systems.
• Contributions to open-source Go projects or internal tooling.
• Familiarity with CI/CD (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD), Terraform, or gRPC.
