Job Description

Senior Golang Engineer at Object Edge designing scalable backend services. Responsible for coding, system architecture, and mentoring junior developers.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement scalable, microservices-based architectures using Golang to support high-traffic applications.
  • Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code, leveraging Go’s unique concurrency primitives (Goroutines and Channels).
  • Build and maintain high-performance RESTful and gRPC APIs.
  • Profile and optimize services to reduce latency and improve resource utilization (CPU/Memory).
  • Work closely with DevOps to containerize applications using Docker and orchestrate them via Kubernetes.
  • Lead the charge in writing comprehensive unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to ensure 99.9% system reliability.
  • Conduct rigorous code reviews and provide technical guidance to mid-level and junior engineers.
  • Integrate AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot) into the workflow to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality.

Requirements:

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 5+ years dedicated to Golang in a production environment.
  • Deep understanding of Go's concurrency model, including sync packages, context handling, and race condition mitigation.
  • Proven experience with microservices patterns (Service Discovery, Circuit Breakers, API Gateways).
  • Proficiency with relational databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and NoSQL solutions (Redis, MongoDB, or Cassandra).
  • Experience with message brokers or event-streaming platforms like Kafka, RabbitMQ, or NATS.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure and a strong grasp of Kubernetes/Docker.
  • Mastery of table-driven testing in Go and tools like testify or mock.

  • Object Edge provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetics.
  • We believe in providing employees with a work environment free of unlawful discrimination and harassment.
