Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

Design and implement distributed data processing pipelines using Go, Kafka, and various queueing systems (RabbitMQ, SQS, Redis Streams)
Architect microservices using Go with Gin/Echo/Fiber frameworks, implementing circuit breakers, retry mechanisms, and graceful degradation
Design and implement horizontal and vertical scaling strategies for compute-intensive workloads
Optimize resource utilization through intelligent load balancing, caching strategies, and connection pooling
Build event-driven architectures with Apache Kafka, including topic design, partition strategies, and consumer group management
Design polyglot persistence solutions across MongoDB (document modeling, aggregation pipelines), MySQL (query optimization, indexing strategies), and Neo4j (graph traversal optimization)
Implement comprehensive monitoring and observability using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, and distributed tracing (Jaeger/Zipkin)

Infrastructure & DevOps

Design Kubernetes deployments with advanced patterns: StatefulSets, DaemonSets, Jobs, and CronJobs
Implement auto-scaling strategies: HPA, VPA, and cluster autoscaling based on custom metrics
Manage multi-environment deployments with GitOps workflows (ArgoCD/Flux)
Design disaster recovery and backup strategies across multiple regions
Implement cost optimization strategies for cloud resources

Requirements

Team Leadership & Management

Lead a team of 5-8 engineers, conducting regular 1:1s and career development discussions
Drive sprint planning, backlog grooming, and capacity planning for quarterly deliverables
Define and track team OKRs aligned with organizational goals
Conduct performance reviews and create individual development plans
Foster a culture of technical excellence through code reviews, design reviews, and knowledge sharing sessions
Manage stakeholder expectations and communicate technical decisions to non-technical audiences
Lead incident response and post-mortem processes

Strategic Planning

Collaborate with Product and Business teams to translate requirements into technical roadmaps
Perform capacity planning for infrastructure and team resources
Drive technical debt reduction initiatives while balancing feature delivery
Establish engineering best practices, coding standards, and documentation guidelines
Lead architectural decision records (ADRs) and technology evaluation processes

Required Technical Skills

Backend Development

Go Expertise: Advanced proficiency in concurrency patterns (worker pools, channels), memory optimization, and building production-grade middleware with proper error handling and context propagation.

Distributed Systems

Message Streaming: Deep understanding of Kafka internals including partitioning strategies, consumer group management, and implementing exactly-once semantics with proper data serialization.
Microservices Patterns: Hands-on experience with service mesh, API gateways, distributed caching, and implementing saga patterns for distributed transactions.

Scaling & Performance

Horizontal Scaling: Expertise in load balancing (L4/T4/A10), database sharding, read replicas, and CDN integration for distributed workloads.
Vertical Scaling: Strong knowledge of CPU/memory profiling, GPU acceleration for compute-intensive tasks, and resource optimization strategies.

Data Systems

MySQL/POSTGRES: Experience with query optimization, indexing strategies, and connection pooling for RDBMS performance tuning.

‍

Cloud & Infrastructure

Kubernetes: Production experience with CRDs, operators, network policies, and implementing RBAC for multi-tenant environments.
Observability: Expertise in distributed tracing, custom metrics, log aggregation, and defining SLI/SLOs for system reliability.

‍

Tools knowledge

Required Experience

7-10 years of software engineering with 4+ years in distributed systems
2+ years of technical leadership or team lead experience
Proven track record of leading projects from conception to production
Experience managing cross-functional technical initiatives
Background in 24x7 production support and on-call rotation management
Experience with compliance and security requirements (SOC2, GDPR)
