Hiring: Senior / Lead Golang Developer | Event-Driven Architecture


RECRUITER OVERVIEW:

Hey, I'm Will — Rumor has it I'm Colorado's #1 Most Connected, Respected & Bald-est 👨 🦲 #DevRecruiter™. As an agency software engineering recruiter, my team and I are actively and continually partnered with an ever-growing rolodex of private & public tech companies, as well as VC backed and self-funded startups, Pre-Seed through Acquisition/IPO...🚀 What these companies have in common is that they ALL are looking to Hire "Uncommonly Good" Founding, Mid, Senior, Lead, Staff & Principal Software Devs ... and of course, the Leaders of these Software Development Teams.


A LITTLE ABOUT THE ROLE

I am helping one of my favorite clients hire a Senior / Lead Golang Developer (and a couple other members of their team). They’re looking for Senior Engineers / Tech Leads to own event-driven architecture as they rip apart their legacy monolith into Go microservices and build out several exciting new products.


Lots of things we think you'll love about this role ... here are a few highlights:


  • You'd be dealing at a large scale: (i.e., fun, gnarly scaling challenges ahead: 100M users, 6 billion HTTP requests daily, and 1.5M transactions/hour at peak).
  • You'd be part of a team that holds a unique approach to AI: They are heavy in pragmatic AI tooling: very AI-forward, but NOT "AI First" ... it's DevsFirst instead :)
  • You'd help shape the technical direction of a modern cloud-based platform while mentoring other engineers and leading technical initiatives from design through deployment.
  • You'd work on a mission-critical product and work hand in hand with executive technical leaders, so your work will have impact at the highest level


REQUIREMENTS


  • Experience leading software development initiatives at scale (i.e at companies who have hundreds of thousands to millions of users)
  • Experience mentoring/leading other engineers and driving technical excellence.
  • Strong production (non-side project) experience with Go (Golang)
  • Strong understanding of systems design & microservices architecture.
  • Advocate for clean architecture and clean code
  • Experience working with event-driven systems such as Kafka.
  • AI Forward, including experience in the transformation of the SDLC to ADLC


LOCATION

This role is based in Denver HQ, and the expectation of work is HYBRID, 3 days a week: ANY 3 days ... you pick :).


COMPENSATION

The salary range for this position is between $135K - $155K with a 15% bonus for a total expected cash compensation range of $155,250 to $178,250. Beyond the base and bonus, this company also offers a 4% 401K match, and they pay extra for any on-call.


NEXT STEPS

If you feel that your background and goals align with this role, please drop your resume here. If there is synergy, we will reach out ASAP.


Cheers,-Will
