  • Familiarity with microservices architectures and event‑driven systems is a plus.
  • Software Quality & Testing Acumen

  • A strong commitment to software quality, including expertise in various testing methodologies (e.g., unit, integration, end‑to‑end).
  • Possesses a “test‑to‑break” mindset, with the ability to identify potential vulnerabilities and design resilient, fault‑tolerant software.
  • Architectural Vision & Communication : Solid understanding of software architecture principles, design patterns, and best practices.
  • Ability to conceptualize, design, and clearly articulate complex technical concepts and architectural decisions to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
  • Systems Thinking & Seamless Integration

  • Beyond feature development, you recognize that your work is part of a larger system.
  • You possess the ability and willingness to learn other areas of the codebase and infrastructure to ensure your contributions fit nicely and seamlessly into the overall architecture.
  • Continuous Learning & Problem Solving

  • A proactive mindset with a strong ability and willingness to independently research, learn, and find solutions to unfamiliar challenges.
  • Demonstrates intellectual curiosity and a commitment to continuous professional growth.
  • Basics

  • Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years total engineering experience.
  • 5+ years production Golang development, focused on CLI / DevOps / API work.
