I’m looking for Go-heavy backend roles in fintech, trading infra, or high-load systems - remote B2B from Georgia, open to relocation.
Yan Bezborodov
@queerbait
Go engineer, 7 yrs. Fintech & trading infra. Olympiad-level algorithms. Yandex → Atlantic Money → Exness. Remote B2B from Georgia, or relocation.
What I'm looking for
I'm a senior Go engineer with 7+ years building high-throughput distributed systems, primarily in fintech and trading infrastructure.
My career has been in environments where reliability and performance actually matter. At Yandex I worked on a 250k RPS platform serving 10M daily users - optimizing a 120k RPS log ingestion API down 30% CPU by replacing gzip with zstd and building a custom HTTP server. At Atlantic Money (acquired by Deel) I shipped a payments backend that processed $100M+ in its first year, built on open-banking integrations, and mitigated a 50k RPS DDoS attack with zero downtime. At Exness - the world's largest retail broker - I've worked on PDF statement generation at scale, an AI agent for autonomous case investigation, and an OLAP-based archival platform saving multi-terabytes of storage annually.
Go is my primary language and I know it well past the surface level - runtime, memory model, concurrency primitives, performance profiling. I'm comfortable with Kafka, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Kubernetes, gRPC, Redis.
Strong algorithms background: All-Russian Olympiad in Informatics prizewinner, 75+ hard LeetCode problems solved in 2026.
Looking for Go-heavy backend roles in fintech, crypto, or trading infrastructure. High-load systems, real engineering problems, small-to-mid team. Available as remote B2B from Georgia, open to relocation.
