[Hiring] Go Developer @Software Mind

Role Description

We are looking for a Go Developer to help build a private cloud platform for a Dutch managed services provider working with public-sector customers in Western Europe.

• The client delivers both private and public cloud as a managed service, and this platform is their own private cloud offering: built and run in Go on Kubernetes.
• Your work covers new services and the Kubernetes operators that manage the platform, as well as migrating existing workloads onto it and maintaining it once it is live.
• New development runs alongside migration and run-phase work, not after it.
• Go is a relatively new direction here; the team's engineering background is mainly Python.
• The move to Go is still taking shape, providing an opportunity to influence the platform's Go codebase.
• You join a mixed team of 6+ engineers split between Poland and the Netherlands, working as one team rather than as a vendor and a client side.
• English is the working language, used daily in design discussions, code review, and documentation.
• The role is fully remote from Poland, with no on-call duty.

Qualifications

• Min. 4 years of commercial back-end development, including min. 2 years building production services in Go.
• Experience with Go concurrency (goroutines, channels, context, sync), the standard library, and building REST and gRPC services.
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines in GitLab and working across the full delivery lifecycle.
• Experience writing tests in Go with the standard testing package and Testify or Ginkgo.
• Experience building and running containerised applications on Linux, including debugging services, reading logs, and troubleshooting basic networking on hosts.
• English at B2 or higher - the language of the project, used daily with Dutch colleagues in design discussions, code review, and documentation.

Requirements

• Kubernetes operators or controllers written in Go - a core part of this role, so experience here puts you ahead from week one.
• Python, including Pytest - the team's main language so far, and part of the tooling and testing stays in it.
• Robot Framework - used for acceptance testing alongside the Go test suites.
• Helm, Kustomize, and GitOps - the platform is deployed declaratively, so these speed up your first weeks.
• HashiCorp Vault and Terraform - for secrets management and infrastructure provisioning on the platform.
• CKA or CKAD - not required, but it maps directly onto the Kubernetes work here.

Benefits

• Flexible and remote cooperation options.
• International projects with leading global clients.
• Travels related to international projects.
• Non-corporate atmosphere.
• Access to language classes.
• Access to knowledge-sharing initiatives.
• Access to private healthcare and life insurance.
• Access to multisport card.
