About the Opportunity
We are partnering with an ambitious, fast-growing tech start-up, looking to eliminate friction in building digital products end-to-end. Our client's platform enables developers from some of the world’s largest companies to design and streamline their API environments.
It is important to mention we have worked hard to build an environment we wished we had worked in before - a place that supports innovation, experimentation, and trust. An environment where the engineers feel comfortable challenging and being challenged in the most positive sense of that word.
At the core of their product ecosystem is a high-performance, cutting-edge open-source router written entirely in Go. They are looking for a Senior or Staff Go Engineer who loves diving deep into complex technical challenges, writing high-throughput code, and driving open-source software forward.
What You'll Be Doing
- Taking ownership of core platform components and open-source codebases, focusing on performance, system execution, security, and long-term scalability.
- Core Go Development
- High-Performance Engineering
- Feature Innovation & Architecture: Expand compiler and engine capabilities, supporting new protocols, data sources, and integrations.
- Quality & Security: Monitor system telemetry, conduct internal security reviews, and oversee open-source contributions and pull requests.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with product and customer engineering teams to troubleshoot complex technical issues and refine product capabilities.
