Golang Developer

6+ years of backend software engineering experience, with a strong record of shipping production services at scale. Proven, hands-on proficiency in Go and/or Rust - you write these languages regularly and can demonstrate production systems you have built with them. Solid experience building and operating distributed data systems: event streaming (Kafka, Kinesis, or equivalent), time-series databases, and high-throughput ingestion pipelines. Strong fundamentals in distributed systems: consistency models, failure modes, backpressure, idempotency, and exactly-once vs. at-least-once processing tradeoffs. Experience with cloud-native deployment: containerization (Docker), Kubernetes orchestration, and operating services across at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or Azure). Familiarity with observability tooling - structured logging, metrics (PrometheGrafana or equivalent), and distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry or equivalent). Comfortable writing SQL and working with both relational and time-series data models; experience with schema design and query optimization. Strong engineering practices: test-driven or test-informed development, code review, CI/CD, and operational ownership including on-call.
