We are seeking a Senior Backend Developer with deep expertise in Golang and experience building secure, high-performance distributed systems. The role involves hands-on development of scalable backend services with a strong focus on concurrency, secure networking, caching, and real-time event streaming. You will contribute to designing, building, and optimizing systems deployed on AWS and on-premise infrastructure, ensuring they meet enterprise requirements for scalability, reliability, and security.

Key Responsibilities

Design and implement backend services in Golang, focusing on concurrency, performance, and reliability.
Develop components that integrate WireGuard protocol for secure communication and advanced networking.
Build APIs and services for real-time workloads and secure data flows.
Use Redis for caching, session management, distributed coordination, and Pub/Sub messaging.
Build streaming and data processing pipelines with Kafka to support real-time events and analytics.
Deploy and operate services on AWS (EKS, EC2, ElastiCache, MSK) and on-prem Kubernetes clusters.
Contribute to infrastructure automation using Terraform, Ansible, and CI/CD pipelines.
Implement monitoring and observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
Write clean, maintainable, and testable code with automated unit and integration tests.
Conduct performance benchmarking, profiling, and optimization for low-latency, high-throughput systems.
Participate in load testing, failover simulations, and incident response improvements.
Work closely with Tech Leads, and DevOps engineers to deliver end-to-end solutions.
Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and contribute to improving engineering standards.
