Senior Golang Developer (Fullstack, BE-Heavy)

## About the Role As a Senior Golang Developer at Proxify, you will be part of a high-growth client team, acting as a core software architect. Your primary focus will be on designing and scaling high-performance, low-latency microservices using Go, but you will also be involved in building clean, responsive user interfaces, showcasing your full-stack capabilities. This role is ideal for a systems-thinking developer who is passionate about the speed and simplicity of Go but also understands the importance of delivering a complete, polished end-to-end user experience.

The role involves working closely with the client's team to identify and solve complex data ingestion, distributed systems concurrency, and real-time state challenges, moving beyond basic CRUD applications. You will be the engineering driver behind the client's product scaling efforts, requiring a strong technical vision and the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Proxify's mission is to connect top developers around the world with the opportunities they deserve, regardless of their location. With a global network of supportive, talented developers and a commitment to members' success, Proxify has established itself as a leader in the remote job market. This role is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to join a dynamic team and contribute their expertise to drive growth and innovation.

## What You Will Do - Design, implement, and maintain highly performant Go backends along with their corresponding frontend interfaces.

• Profile and tune Go applications to ensure minimal memory footprints and ultra-low latency.
• Design structured, self-documenting RESTful or gRPC APIs for seamless communication between microservices and the client interface.
• Conduct constructive peer code reviews, championing clean code principles, SOLID patterns, and idiomatic Go architectures.
• Work alongside DevOps engineers to build and maintain automated testing and deployment pipelines.
• Participate in planning and estimation sessions to ensure the team is aligned and working efficiently.
• Collaborate with the QA team to identify and resolve issues, ensuring the highest quality of the software.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the field, applying new technologies and methodologies to continuously improve the software and processes.
• Mentor junior team members, providing guidance and support to help them grow in their roles.

## What We Are Looking For - 5+ years of software engineering experience, with strong, production-grade mastery of Go (Golang), its memory model, channels, and idiomatic concurrency patterns.

• Proven track record of building microservices using HTTP frameworks (Gin, Echo, Chi) or gRPC / Protocol Buffers.
• Solid experience with modern frontend development using TypeScript and React.js or Vue.js for consuming complex API contracts.
• Advanced knowledge of relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred) along with high-performance query optimization and connection pooling.
• Experience managing message brokers or event streaming platforms like Kafka, RabbitMQ, or Redis.
• Hands-on experience containerizing services with Docker and orchestrating deployments via Kubernetes inside cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• A strict testing mindset, implementing robust unit testing patterns (go test, test suites) and automated integration tests.
• Located in CET timezone (+/- 3 hours), we are unable to consider applications from candidates in other time zones.

## Nice to Have - Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or Bicep).

• Understanding of eBPF, WebAssembly (Wasm), or writing low-level networking tools in Go.
• Familiarity with frontend build tools like Vite or Webpack.
• Background in domain-driven design (DDD) and clean architecture.

## Benefits and Perks - On-time monthly payments with flexible withdrawal options.

• Predictable project hours with consistent 8-hour working days.
• Up to 24 flex days off per year without losing pay for full-time positions.
• Career-accelerating positions at cutting-edge companies.
• Hand-picked opportunities tailored to your skills and interests.
• Access to a global network of supportive, talented developers.
• Opportunity to work on a wide range of projects, enhancing your portfolio and skill set.
• Continuous learning and professional development opportunities.
• Competitive compensation package, reflecting your skills and experience.

- Ensure you have a strong portfolio that showcases your Golang and frontend development skills, including examples of your work with microservices and complex data ingestion challenges.

• Be prepared to discuss your experience with Go, including its memory model, channels, and concurrency patterns, as well as your understanding of modern frontend development frameworks like React.js or Vue.js.
• Highlight your ability to work in a remote environment, including your experience with collaboration tools and your self-motivation skills.
• Emphasize your systems-thinking approach and ability to deliver polished end-to-end user experiences, providing examples from your past projects.
• Research Proxify and its mission, demonstrating your understanding of the company's values and how you can contribute to its success.
• Prepare to back your claims with specific examples from your experience, focusing on achievements rather than responsibilities.
• Show enthusiasm for continuous learning and professional development, expressing your interest in applying new technologies and methodologies to improve software and processes.
