SDE - 2 - Go

As an SDE-2 you will be responsible for building and scaling backend systems that are reliable, efficient, and production-ready. This is a hands-on coding role, where you're expected to independently solve engineering problems and contribute high-quality systems.
Responsibilities:
Design and build backend services in Golang.
Write clean, efficient, and production-quality code with a strong focus on performance and reliability.
Solve complex problems using data structures and algorithms.
Own features/modules end-to-end with minimal guidance.
Debug production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and ensure system stability.
Improve existing systems for better scalability, performance, and maintainability.
Make sound engineering decisions, considering trade-offs and constraints.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ship high-impact features.
Requirements:
3-5 years of backend engineering experience.
Strong problem-solving skills with data structures and algorithms.
Deep hands-on experience in Golang.
Ability to write clean, maintainable, and testable production code.
Good understanding of backend system design (APIs, services, modular architecture).
Experience building and owning backend components/services.
Ability to work independently and navigate ambiguity.
Strong debugging and problem-solving skills in production environments.
Understanding of real-world engineering constraints (scalability, failures, edge cases).
Nice to have:
Experience with distributed systems.
Familiarity with performance optimisation and system tuning.
Exposure to cloud infrastructure and monitoring tools.
