Software Developer (Golang)

Role Overview

As a Software Developer (Golang) at Nineleaps, you will build and maintain high-performance backend services and scalable APIs that power modern digital applications. You'll work across microservices architecture, distributed systems, and backend optimization while collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable and efficient solutions. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving backend challenges, working on scalable systems, and contributing to architecture and technical decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain robust backend services and APIs using Golang
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define features, align on architecture, and deliver scalable solutions
• Refactor and optimize existing codebases for performance, maintainability, and scalability
• Leverage prior Java experience, such as Spring Boot, when integrating with or migrating legacy services
• Participate in architecture reviews, design discussions, and technical decision-making processes
• Ensure code quality through unit and integration testing, peer reviews, and adherence to engineering best practices
• Monitor and troubleshoot production issues to ensure system reliability and availability
• Work in an Agile/Scrum environment with a focus on iterative delivery and continuous improvement

What We're Looking For

• 4–6 years of experience in backend development, with at least 2 years of production experience in Golang for backend systems or microservices
• Strong understanding of microservices architecture, RESTful APIs, and distributed systems
• Solid knowledge of gRPC, data structures, algorithms, and software design principles
• Hands-on experience with relational and/or NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to build scalable, maintainable backend systems
• Experience with containerization and orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes is a plus
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure is preferred
• Experience with unit testing and backend quality assurance practices
• Exposure to message queues or streaming technologies such as Kafka or RabbitMQ is an advantage
• Understanding of observability and monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or the ELK stack is beneficial
• Experience with Java, preferably Spring Boot, especially in service integration or migration contexts, is a plus
