Position Type : Contract
JOB DESCRIPTION
Position Overview
You will own the end-to-end design and delivery of high-throughput, resilient integration solutions built in Go. As our Go-lang Integration Architect, you’ll define best practices, drive reusable integration patterns and mentor engineering teams on advanced Go techniques, API design and event-driven architectures.
Key Responsibilities
• Lead the architecture, design and hands-on implementation of integration solutions using Go (microservices, APIs, stream processing)
• Define and govern enterprise integration patterns (REST/JSON, gRPC, message-driven, event sourcing)
• Establish coding standards and best practices
• Prototype and evaluate new tools or middleware (message brokers, API gateways, service meshes) for performance, scalability and security
• Collaborate with product owners, solution architects and DevOps to translate business requirements into technical designs
• Drive API lifecycle management: design specifications (OpenAPI), versioning, documentation, policy enforcement
• Conduct design reviews, performance tuning and fault-injection testing to ensure SLAs
• Mentor and train development teams on Go-specific patterns (concurrency, error handling, dependency management)
• Identify performance bottlenecks and perform root-cause analysis, and recommend preventive measures
Required Qualifications
• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years architecting/implementing integrations in Go
• Deep expertise in Go language fundamentals: goroutines, channels, interfaces, modules
• Proven track record designing RESTful APIs and/or gRPC services at scale
• Experience with message brokers (Kafka, NATS, RabbitMQ) and event-driven architectures
• Working understanding of containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
• Experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) and automated testing frameworks
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP or Azure) and cloud-native best practices - AWS preferred.
• Strong grasp of security principles: OAuth2/OpenID Connect, mTLS, API gateways, encryption
• Excellent communication skills and experience leading technical discussions with stakeholders
Preferred Skills
• Prior experience with additional integration runtimes or ESBs (MuleSoft, Apache Camel, Spring Integration)
• Knowledge of performance-testing tools (Locust, k6, JMeter) and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK)
• Background in domain-driven design, CQRS/ES or micro-frontend integration
• Contributions to open-source Go projects or published technical articles
