• Contribute to platform architecture — microservices, data layer, message brokers
• Design for scale, low latency, and reliability — trading workloads leave no margin
• Build REST APIs, gRPC services, WebSocket endpoints, and event-driven pipelines
• Drive code quality — set standards for reviews, testing, and observability
• Mentor mid-level engineers and conduct interviews for backend hires
• Partner with DevOps on deployment, monitoring, and incident response
• Own performance optimization and technical-debt reduction initiatives
MUST HAVE
• 5–8 years of hands-on backend engineering, with 3+ years focused on Go
• Deep expertise in Go — goroutines, channels, context, mutex, interfaces, error handling
• Strong grasp of microservices architecture and service boundaries
• Production experience with REST, gRPC, and WebSocket protocols
• Strong database experience — PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB — including schema design, indexing, transactions
• Experience with message brokers — Kafka, NATS, or RabbitMQ
• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines
• Proven ability to own modules independently and drive design decisions
• Prior experience mentoring engineers
PREFERRED (NICE TO HAVE)
• Experience in the trading, fintech, or financial-services domain
• Understanding of low-latency system design and performance profiling in Go
• Exposure to broker APIs, exchange connectivity, or market-data feeds
• Cloud platform experience — AWS or GCP
• Observability stack — Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or Jaeger
• Contributions to open-source Go projects
• Understanding of financial regulatory frameworks — SEBI, RBI, DPDP
WHY JOIN US
