• Collaborate with engineers and stakeholders to deliver secure and scalable integrations with external controller platforms, including cdFMC and Meraki
• Develop REST APIs and gRPC services, including API contracts and Protocol Buffer definitions for service communication
• Design and optimize PostgreSQL database schemas, queries, indexes, and migration processes to support high-performance applications
• Create and maintain automated unit and integration tests, including race detection and code coverage validation
• Analyze application performance using profiling tools and implement improvements that enhance service stability, efficiency, and scalability
• Apply code quality, security, and review practices while contributing to sprint planning, estimation, and agile delivery activities

REQUIREMENTS

• Strong experience with Go, including concurrency patterns, goroutines, channels, context management, and error-handling techniques
• Advanced experience designing and developing RESTful APIs and gRPC services using Protocol Buffers
• Strong knowledge of PostgreSQL, including schema design, query optimization, transaction management, indexing, and database migrations
• Proven experience building distributed or multi-service applications and integrating with external APIs
• Advanced experience with Go testing practices, including unit testing, table-driven testing, mocking, and integration testing
• Strong knowledge of code quality and security tools such as golangci-lint, staticcheck, errcheck, and gosec
• Solid experience with Git workflows, code reviews, semantic versioning, and agile software delivery practices
• Practical communication and collaboration skills for working effectively within cross-functional engineering teams
• Experience with rule engines, policy compilers, abstract syntax trees, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, CI/CD pipelines, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, or security-focused distributed systems (Nice-to-have)
