Senior Backend Engineer – Go (Golang)

Experience: 5–7 years

Location: Bangalore (HSR)

Employment Type: Full-time

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with robust hands-on expertise in Go (Golang) to design, build, and scale the backend systems that power our platform. This is an architecture-focused role: you will not just write code but shape how our services are structured, how they communicate, and how they scale reliably in production. You will work closely with product, DevOps, and frontend teams to deliver robust, high-performance systems on AWS.

Familiarity with Node.js is a strong plus, and working knowledge of JavaScript is expected for effective collaboration across the stack.

What You'll Do
- Design, develop, and maintain scalable, high-performance backend services primarily in Go.
- Own system architecture decisions — service boundaries, API design, data flow, and integration patterns — for new and existing systems.
- Build and evolve microservices, REST/gRPC APIs, and event-driven components with a focus on reliability, performance,



and maintainability.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into scalable technical designs.
- Contribute to and, where needed, support Node.js services, ensuring consistency across the backend ecosystem.
- Write clean, well-tested, well-documented code, and drive engineering best practices (code reviews, design reviews, testing standards).
- Design and manage infrastructure and deployments on AWS (e.g., EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudWatch, IAM).
- Identify performance bottlenecks, scalability risks, and technical debt, and lead efforts to resolve them.
- Participate in architectural discussions, technical design docs, and mentor junior engineers on backend and system design best practices.
- Ensure systems are secure, observable, and resilient, with appropriate monitoring, logging, and alerting in place.
