- Experience building production-grade web services using one or more Go frameworks (Gin, Fiber, Echo, Chi, or net/http)
- Deep understanding of RESTful API design principles and best practices
- Proven problem-solving skills — ability to break down complex requirements into clean technical solutions
- Experience with SQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, etc.)
- Strong understanding of Go concurrency — goroutines, channels, mutexes, and patterns like worker pools
- Solid grasp of HTTP, JSON, and API integration fundamentals
- Familiarity with Git and collaborative development workflows
- Experience with multiple Go frameworks and the ability to adapt quickly across them
- Exposure to microservices architecture and distributed systems design
- Experience implementing authentication mechanisms (JWT, OAuth2, API keys)
- Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes)
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Hands-on experience with message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ, NATS)
- Proficiency in writing unit, integration, and benchmark tests in Go
- Experience with observability tools — logging, tracing, and metrics (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
- Knowledge of caching strategies (Redis, in-memory caching)
