## Description

I am helping one of my favorite clients hire a Senior / Lead Golang Developer (and a couple other members of their team). They're looking for Senior Engineers / Tech Leads to own event-driven architecture as they rip apart their legacy monolith into Go microservices and build out several exciting new products., * You'd be dealing at a large scale: (i.e., fun, gnarly scaling challenges ahead: 100M+ users, 6 billion HTTP requests daily, and 1.5M transactions/hour at peak).
\n

 * You'd be part of a team that holds a unique approach to AI: They are heavy in pragmatic AI tooling: very AI-forward, but NOT "AI First" ... it's DevsFirst instead :)
\n

 * You'd help shape the technical direction of a modern cloud-based platform while mentoring other engineers and leading technical initiatives from design through deployment.
\n

 * You'd work on a mission-critical product and work hand in hand with executive technical leaders, so your work will have impact at the highest level
