Our expectations of the ideal candidate:

• 7+ years of commercial backend engineering experience, including solving complex problems in high-load environments
• 5+ years of hands-on experience with Golang, including practical use of advanced features in production systems (generics, reflection, unsafe, custom synchronization primitives)
• Strong SQL expertise, including schema design, scaling strategies (replication, partitioning, sharding), and query optimization for high-load environments
• Deep understanding of Redis, including effective use of data structures and performance optimization in high-load systems
• Experience with Docker and CI/CD pipelines; knowledge of Kubernetes (or similar orchestration tools) and cloud platforms (e.g., AWS)
• Solid experience with synchronous and asynchronous inter-service communication patterns, with a focus on reliability and fault tolerance
• Strong understanding of microservice architecture patterns and the ability to design efficient client-server interactions while accounting for system limitations
• Experience in product-led environments and a proven track record of building and scaling high-load distributed systems
• Proven ability to design and implement observability solutions, including metrics, logging, dashboards, and distributed tracing
• Ability to write maintainable, testable code with solid unit/integration test coverage
