Job Summary
- We are seeking a Senior Go Engineer to deliver complex third-party open-source package upgrades in a large monorepo environment.

- This role focuses on fixing and executing existing tests. Creation of new unit or integration test suites is not required.
Key Responsibilities
- Assess assigned packages, dependency trees, API change exposure, build impact, and upgrade complexity before execution.
- Upgrade Go modules and package versions, separate version bumps and local patches where required, and safely reapply or retire patches.
- Resolve breaking API changes in upgraded libraries and update directly affected downstream callers within the approved scope.
- Diagnose and remediate Go, Bazel build failures, existing test failures, and applicable pre-submit failures attributable to package upgrades.
- Maintain Capybara configurations and troubleshoot source synchronization or integration issues associated with package changes.
- Use approved internal tooling and reusable automation to accelerate analysis, failure triage, validation, and evidence capture.
- Submit review-ready change lists with clear technical rationale, validation evidence, patch status, and traceable migration records.
- Document and escalate material package deviations, external blockers, and cross-product dependency impacts with actionable evidence.

Preferred Skills
- Capybara or comparable source synchronization tooling.
- Large-scale OSS dependency upgrades, vulnerability remediation, or package maintenance programs.
- Experience with complex dependency graphs, generated code, multi-target changes, and high-impact API migrations.
- Building reusable upgrade playbooks or automation within controlled enterprise environments.
Qualifications
- 7 years of software engineering experience, including substantial hands-on development and debugging in Go.
- Strong command of Go modules, semantic versioning, transitive dependency resolution, package compatibility, and idiomatic API refactoring.
- Practical experience with Bazel, go build, go test, CI pre-submit pipelines, and troubleshooting large or monorepo-based build environments.
- Demonstrated ability to isolate compiler, linker, build, test, and runtime failures introduced by dependency upgrades.
- Proficiency with Git-based change management, code reviews, merge conflict resolution, and local patch lifecycle management.
- Strong Linux and scripting skills for investigation, repeatable validation, and engineering automation.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills, disciplined documentation practices, and effective collaboration with reviewers and language subject matter experts.
- Expected outcomes include accepted package upgrades, successful builds, passing existing tests, passing applicable pre-submits, completed change list submissions, and documented migration reporting.
