Senior Golang Developer

We are hiring for a high-impact Senior Backend Developer role with our client, an established property

giant and the dominant real estate force across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

Our client isn't seeking just a coder—they want a systems thinker who can architect robust backend

solutions under tight timelines for fintech-enabled real estate platforms.

If you are an engineer who:

Designs for scale, security, and async workflows from first principles

Justifies trade-offs with clear reasoning (e.g., polling vs. events, relational vs. NoSQL)

Thrives in lean teams executing fast on high-stakes projects

You'll shape backend systems powering online transactions and marketplace discovery for millions across

the Gulf.

Core Responsibilities

• Architectural Ownership:
• Design and implement scalable microservices using Golang (primary) or Node.js/TypeScript (new projects)
• Lead end-to-end system design: DB schemas, orchestration patterns, event-driven flows (Kafka queues, workers)
• Distributed Systems & Async Design:
• Build fault-tolerant workflows with polling, counters, optimistic/pessimistic locking for race conditions
• Implement tokenization, encryption-at-rest, and secure data handling for compliance-heavy domains

Performance & Reliability:

• Optimize for high-throughput: sharding, materialized views, efficient querying across distributed data stores
• Ensure systems handle real-world edge cases like partial failures and state management

Technical Leadership:

• Guide design discussions, mentor on backend best practices, articulate reasoning behind choices
• Collaborate cross-team to align on APIs, data flows, and scalability trade-offs

Production Excellence:

Deploy to Kubernetes/Docker, integrate with AWS services, maintain CI/CD pipelines

Technical Profile

Primary Stack - Golang:

• 7+ years hands-on Go: goroutines, channels, context handling, gRPC/REST APIs
• Proven orchestration: event-driven systems, workers, DB polling for state management

Secondary Stack - Node.js/TypeScript:

• Strong experience building RESTful APIs, NestJS/Express microservices, TypeScript for type-safe backends
• Field-level security patterns, async processing at scale

Backend Fundamentals (10+ years total):

• Distributed systems: Kafka/RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL/MongoDB, schema evolution
• Security mindset: encryption, token auth, access controls (owner-only mutations)
• Tools: Docker, K8s, Elasticsearch, AWS (Lambda/EC2/RDS)

Key Traits:

• Explains designs from first principles (not memorized solutions)
• Adapts quickly to feedback (e.g., per-record vs. user-level tokens)
• Clear articulation of complex ideas like race condition handling

Joining Details

Location: Full-time, in-office Noida

Timeline: Immediate joiners (3-15 days) prioritized—urgent project needs

Team: Lean 8-9 person squad, high ownership from day 1

Interview: System design discussion + live problem-solving (45-60 mins)

Assessment Criteria

The client is looking beyond coding ability — they are evaluating how engineers think through complex backend problems before implementation.

• Break down problems from first principles and evaluate multiple solution approaches

• Anticipate edge cases, race conditions, scalability bottlenecks, and failure scenarios before writing code

• Demonstrate structured decision-making rather than jumping directly into implementation

• Communicate reasoning behind technical choices with clarity and confidence
