Senior Go backend engineer building resilient, high-concurrency distributed systems on AWS.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Backend Engineer with 4+ years of professional experience designing and shipping production-grade, high-concurrency distributed systems in Go. I build resilient APIs, real-time services, event-driven data pipelines, and cloud-native workloads with a strong focus on secure API design, clean architecture, and observability.
At Byteforge, I’ve architected and shipped production backend services and RESTful APIs with JWT authentication and role-based access control (RBAC). I engineered concurrent WebSocket connection handling for real-time chat and live updates—managing thousands of simultaneous client sessions with low-latency delivery using goroutines, channels, and context propagation.
I also lead end-to-end feature delivery from architectural design through production monitoring, partnering with product managers and frontend engineers. Across my experience, I optimize PostgreSQL and MongoDB schemas and queries, integrate third-party services with fault-tolerant wrappers, and support hybrid/on-premise deployment considerations to keep systems stable under real-world load.
