Golang Developer

Job Title: Golang Developer

Location: Brazil (Remote)

Start date: Immediate

For the Golang demand, the account requires candidates with 8 years of overall experience to work remotely in Brazil as contractors.

The client has been rejected based on their resume, so we need to send resumes that showcase most of their experience with Golang, Node, and React.

Summary

We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to develop and enhance

high-performance and highly scalable backend services. While the role still values familiarity with Node.js

and React, the primary emphasis is on Go, gRPC, Kafka, Kubernetes, and cloud native development

across AWS & GCP. You’ll own the creation of robust backend services that interact with MongoDB,

stream data through Kafka, and run reliably in containerized environments.

Responsibilities Include:

This is a critical role with a wide range of responsibilities, including:

● Design, implement, and maintain data-intensive Go and node gRPC APIs.

● Build, containerize, and deploy scalable Go microservices on Kubernetes (EKS, GKE).

● Refactor and modernize legacy Node.js services into idiomatic Go services, improving

performance and stability.

● Integrate and operate Apache Kafka pipelines for high throughput event streaming, including

producer/consumer logic, schema management, and monitoring.

● Leverage cloud services on both AWS and GCP to build resilient, cost-effective solutions.

● Troubleshoot technical issues.

● Conduct thorough code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and champion best practices around

testing, CI/CD, and security.

● Participate in architectural design reviews, providing pragmatic feedback on scalability, fault

tolerance, and cost optimization.

● Collaborate closely with Product, Program Management, QA, and other teams to align delivery

with business goals.

● Provide realistic level of effort (LOE) estimates during quarterly PI planning, accounting for

dependencies and risk factors.

● Prototype emerging technologies to accelerate engineering velocity and reduce operational

overhead.

Qualities / Experience we are seeking
