Backend Golang Engineer (Band E)

Position Summary

The Backend Golang Engineer plays a critical role in advancing our CMDB and integration ecosystem by contributing to the design, development, and optimization of cloud-native backend services. Operating within a collaborative and leading practise engineering model, this role supports the delivery of scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions that underpin key configuration, asset, and data-driven workflows across the enterprise. The engineer will collaborate closely with senior developers, architects, and cross-functional partners to implement modern microservices, extend API capabilities, and enhance system reliability through robust DevOps and observability practices. This position provides hands-on exposure to Golang, containerization, Azure-based cloud infrastructure, and emerging AI-enabled capabilities, offering a robust growth path for individuals eager to expand their technical depth. This role requires a commitment to ownership for their domain, learning, operational excellence, and delivering high-quality engineering outcomes in a dynamic, forward-leaning environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain backend services using Golang while adhering to engineering standards and best practices.
• Build and extend APIs enabling reliable data exchange across configuration and asset management systems.
• Contribute to the implementation and optimization of RESTful APIs and microservice components.
• Support CI/CD processes, automated testing, and build/deployment pipelines.
• Containerize applications (Docker) and participate in Kubernetes deployment workflows.
• Assist in performance monitoring and troubleshooting using observability tools such as Datadog, Grafana, or Prometheus.
• Collaborate with product, architecture, and operations teams to ensure code quality, scalability, and operational resilience.
• Work with SQL databases: contribute to schema design, write queries, and support performance tuning.
• Participate in cloud infrastructure activities on Azure or comparable cloud platforms.
• Apply ETL concepts for data transformation and integration as part of service workflows.
• Stay informed on modern technologies-including AI-driven capabilities-and contribute ideas that drive continuous improvement.
• Maintain clear, concise technical documentation and support knowledge sharing across the team.
