About the Job

Requirements

At least 5 years of software engineering experience, including at least 4 years working extensively with Go.
Deep understanding of Go internals, including goroutines, channels, scheduler behavior, synchronization primitives, and the context package.
Strong command of Go concurrency patterns and performance optimization.
Strong computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, complexity analysis, and system design.
Working knowledge of operating system concepts as applied to runtime behavior.
Strong grasp of distributed systems principles, including the CAP theorem, consistency models, consensus, and fault tolerance.
Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure and containerized environments such as Docker and Kubernetes.
Experience with SQL or NoSQL databases and message queues such as Kafka or RabbitMQ.
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps best practices.
Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Responsibilities

Design and build scalable, production-grade Go services and APIs.
Own features end-to-end, from architecture and development to deployment and monitoring.
Collaborate with product and infrastructure teams to define and refine technical direction.
Optimize system performance, scalability, and fault tolerance.
Improve observability through structured logging, tracing, and metrics.
Debug complex concurrency and distributed system issues.
Conduct thorough code reviews and uphold high engineering standards.
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong technical culture.
Continuously improve deployment pipelines and operational best practices.

Desired Qualifications

Experience with gRPC and Protocol Buffers.
Familiarity with Go profiling and tracing tools, including pprof, go trace, and the race detector.
Experience operating large-scale distributed systems in production.

As Emumba’s Senior Golang Engineer, you’ll help architect and scale the backbone of modern, high-performance systems. This role goes beyond writing APIs; it’s about building production-grade services that are resilient, observable, and designed for scale from day one.

You’ll collaborate across product and infrastructure teams, shape technical direction, and elevate engineering standards through thoughtful design and mentorship. If you enjoy working close to the runtime, thinking deeply about concurrency, and solving distributed systems challenges, this is where you’ll thrive.
