Senior Software Engineer - Golang

Senior Software Developer - Golang. Build the mobile experiences that bring India's live entertainment to fans' fingertips.

The core responsibilities for the job include the following:

Backend development:

• Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services using Golang.
• Develop APIs and microservices that power customer-facing products.
• Build secure, reliable, and high-performance systems for large-scale traffic.

Performance and architecture:

• Optimize application performance, database queries, and system reliability.
• Design scalable architectures and contribute to technical decisions.
• Troubleshoot production issues and improve system observability.

Collaboration and ownership:

• Work closely with product, frontend, devOps, and QA teams to ship features.
• Participate in code reviews and mentor junior engineers.
• Drive engineering best practices around testing, documentation, and deployment.

Requirements:

• 4 to 7 years of backend development experience, including 3 or more years with Golang.
• Strong understanding of REST APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.
• Experience with relational and non-relational databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis.
• Familiarity with message queues such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar.
• Experience deploying and operating applications on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Strong understanding of system design, scalability, and performance optimization.
• Ownership mindset with the ability to independently drive complex backend projects.

Preferred:

• Experience building high-scale consumer internet, fintech, marketplace, or ticketing platforms.
• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with caching strategies, monitoring, and observability tooling.
• Genuine interest in live entertainment, events, or consumer technology.

Non-Negotiables:

• You write code you'd want to maintain two years later. Long-term scalability matters here. The app is growing; the technical decisions you make now will shape what we build next.
• You take features all the way. From development to release, you own the outcome. Handoff culture doesn't work at this stage.
• You care about how it feels, not just whether it works. Performance and reliability matter to fans. A laggy checkout or broken animation is a broken experience.
• You communicate clearly across teams. Product and design need to understand your constraints. The backend needs to understand your requests. You bridge that gap without friction.
• You thrive when priorities shift. Live entertainment doesn't follow a predictable roadmap. You adapt without losing momentum.
