About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with deep Go expertise to join our engineering team.

You will work across three interconnected areas: building reliable data pipelines and IoT ingestion

systems, designing and securing API services that power our platform, and contributing to the cloud

infrastructure tooling that keeps everything running.

This is a role for engineers who care about correctness, performance, and maintainability — and who

want their work to have real-world impact on open data infrastructure.

Responsibilities

● Design, build, and maintain high-throughput Go services and data ingestion pipelines

● Build secure, well-documented APIs using standard authentication and authorization

protocols

● Deploy, configure, and operate services in cloud and container environments

● Own database schema design, query optimization, and migration strategies

● Apply appropriate caching and messaging patterns to meet reliability and latency

requirements

● Write clean, well-tested code — unit tests, integration tests, and contract tests where

applicable

● Uphold robust source control practices: meaningful commits, disciplined branching, and

thorough pull request reviews

● Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and shared developer tooling

● Participate in architecture reviews, technical planning, and cross-team design discussions

● Support and mentor engineers through code review and knowledge sharing

Required Qualifications

● 5+ years writing production-grade Go,



with a solid grasp of concurrency patterns, idiomatic

design, and performance characteristics

● Strong understanding of distributed systems: scalability, consistency trade-offs, and fault

tolerance

● Hands-on experience deploying and operating containerized services in cloud environments

(container orchestration, managed cloud platforms)

● Relational database design and optimization — schema modelling, indexing, and query

analysis

● Familiarity with identity and access management standards (token-based auth, delegated

authorization flows)

● Experience using in-memory data stores for caching, session state, or pub/sub messaging

● Disciplined approach to software quality: testing at multiple levels, static analysis, and clear code review feedback

● Comfortable working on Linux systems with containerization and infrastructure-as-code tooling

● Familiar with 12-factor app principles and the operational concerns of cloud-native services

Nice to Have

● Experience building or operating IoT data pipelines or time-series workloads

● Familiarity with message brokers or event streaming systems for asynchronous processing

● Observability practices: structured logging, metrics instrumentation, and distributed tracing

● Contributions to open-source projects or experience with open data / data exchange

platforms

● Prior involvement in defining engineering standards, runbooks, or internal documentation
