Design, develop, and sustain high-performance, scalable backend services using **Go** microservices and modern cloud-native tooling.
Lead architectural modernization and modularization to improve scalability, observability, and developer velocity.
Define and own the entire lifecycle of your systems: API design, data modeling, deployment (CI/CD), live-traffic monitoring, integration and load testing, telemetry & data analysis, experiment design (A/B tests), and continuous iteration.
Influence and evolve our architecture: propose and lead initiatives to decompose monoliths, migrate legacy code, build shared frameworks and reusable service components; evaluate new backend technologies and lead their adoption.
Apply AI-driven tools and automation frameworks to speed up development, code analysis, testing, and reliability.
Leverage intelligent telemetry, analytics, and optimization pipelines to improve service performance and resilience.
Define observability standards, telemetry pipelines, and fault-tolerance strategies for production-grade distributed systems.
Partner closely with product, mobile, and data teams to deliver seamless, high-quality experiences across all platforms.
Drive technical discussions, mentor developers, and influence strategic direction across backend and infrastructure domains.

Requirements

A technical leader with the ability to create and lead roadmaps/initiatives that align to high-level business objectives.
Deep expertise in Go, with additional experience in PHP for legacy systems is a bonus.
Proven track record of architecting modular, maintainable, and high-performance microservices.
Strong background in system design, observability, and performance optimization.
Experience with AWS, Kubernetes, Argo CD, Protobuf, CI/CD pipelines, and auto-scaling architectures.
Experience using AI and automation to improve developer velocity, reliability, or system intelligence.
A collaborative technical leader who thrives in fast-moving environments and mentors others to excel.
Passionate about building resilient, intelligent, and highly scalable backend systems that serve millions of users.
You architect for observability, reliability, and production-readiness: you understand instrumentation, SLOs/SLIs, fault-tolerance, runbooks, incident triage, scalable telemetry pipelines, and production diagnostics for backend systems.
You have been a technical leader (not just an individual contributor): you’ve influenced roadmap decisions, contributed to multi-team initiatives, mentored/led developers, driven culture/process improvements, and interfaced with senior developer/product leadership.
