Develop declarative Terraform/OpenTofu and GitOps automation, telemetry, and observability systems. Support bare-metal, hybrid, air-gapped, and sovereign deployments using Kubernetes, Cluster API, Harbor, and PKI/TLS. Integrate enterprise and scale-out storage platforms while addressing throughput, latency, reliability, consistency, and scaling.

The Senior Software Engineer will modernize USPS shipping technology, refactor legacy systems for cloud integration, and develop high-performance services using Go, while collaborating with teams and addressing production challenges.

Develop reusable, scalable Golang code and REST APIs; work with Gin, GORM, SQL, Linux, operating-system concepts, networking protocols, gRPC, Protobuf, Docker, Kubernetes, and MongoDB. Read, understand, write, and debug complex code while communicating effectively and learning independently.

Design, build, and optimize high-throughput, highly available backend services in Golang for 24/7 sports and prediction-market applications. Lead architecture decisions, implement features, diagnose and resolve high-concurrency bottlenecks, and provide high-tier operational support for real-time transactional systems.

The Golang Engineer designs, implements, and maintains software in Go, debugging issues, and collaborating on technical specifications while working in a remote, distributed environment.

Design, build, and scale distributed backend services supporting hundreds of thousands of users. Develop efficient Golang and Python code, optimize infrastructure, make architectural decisions, conduct code reviews, and collaborate with frontend and mobile engineers. The role also involves technical planning, platform innovation, and contributing to product evolution in an autonomous startup environment.

Leads a distributed, cross-functional engineering team; establishes development, testing, and deployment practices; partners with leadership and product on roadmaps and prioritization; coaches, evaluates, and develops engineers; supports hiring, performance management, culture building, and delivery of reliable, high-quality systems.

Build, maintain, and deploy a high-volume, fault-tolerant observability platform. Architect and develop OpenTelemetry-based systems, implement services in Go (concurrency/gRPC), work with ClickHouse/Postgres, Kafka/Redis streaming, and containerized deployments on Kubernetes/Docker. Evaluate new tools and improve platform reliability and performance.

Design and build scalable distributed backend systems in Golang using PostgreSQL and Redis. Architect highly available services across microservices, networking, and cloud platforms; prototype and productionize platform capabilities and internal tooling; collaborate with CTO leadership on strategic initiatives; and influence engineering standards. The role focuses on greenfield AI infrastructure, developer tooling, performance, reliability, and systems operating at scale.
