ABOUT THE ROLE

My client is seeking a talented and driven Senior Golang Developer to join our innovative Engineering team. This is a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of industrial technology, building the core infrastructure for a first-of-its-kind Unified Namespace (UNS) platform.
In this role, you will be instrumental in enhancing our product by developing robust, scalable integrations and adding more northbound streaming protocols. If you are passionate about streaming data, low-latency messaging, and creating extensible, high-impact solutions, we want to hear from you.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design and build high-performance, Kubernetes-ready components using Golang.
• Develop robust integrations with streaming protocols like MQTT, Kafka, and AMQP to manage near real-time data ingestion and distribution.
• Architect and implement data transformation and serialization layers for high-throughput data pipelines.
• Create a governance toolset for managing data topics and ensuring data integrity.
• Ensure system resilience by implementing comprehensive error handling, retry strategies, and fallback logic.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Product, QA, and DevOps, to define, build, and deliver key product features.
• Drive quality and performance by conducting thorough unit, integration, and performance testing for all deployments.
• Contribute to our knowledge base by creating clear documentation and developer enablement resources.
• Stay ahead of the curve by keeping up with the latest trends in Golang, IIoT protocols, edge computing, and industrial integration.
  Please see the updated job description below for the Senior Software Engineer (Golang) position in Toronto. Basically, I’m looking for someone in Toronto who is very experienced in Golang. They should be ok with a hybrid work structure (1-to-3 days in-office per week) and preferably has some experience working in smaller, more collaborative/faster-paced companies.

In terms of the interview process, here are the rounds for the role:

• Hiring Manager Interview (Candidate & me 1-on-1); 30 mins
• Technical Golang Test via TestDome (Candidate alone, on their own time); 60-90 mins
• Technical Peer Interview (Candidate & two of our lead engineers); 60 mins
• Executive Interview (Candidate & my boss and maybe a second person); 30 mins
• Final Round with just Sacha; 30 mins

I think the easiest way to go forward is for you to provide me with resumes of potential candidates, and I’ll let you know which ones I’d like to move forward into the 1st round with me.
