[Hiring] Senior Golang Developer @Zizzik

Role Description

We are seeking a Senior Golang Developer who excels in a high-performance, results-oriented environment. In this role, you'll be responsible for building robust, scalable, and production-ready backend systems using Golang.

You will participate in architecture design, be responsible for independently completing well-defined technical tasks, manage your time effectively, and consistently produce high-quality code that aligns with existing architecture and engineering standards.

This is a great opportunity for a hands-on engineer who likes building systems, writing code, and taking responsibility for outcomes from start to finish.

We’re developing a high-performance, edge-native sensitive data scanner—think of it as an antivirus engine for modern data environments. The scanner connects to various data sources (S3, SMB, GCS, MS365, etc.), extracts and classifies sensitive content (e.g., PII, PCI, secrets), and reports findings efficiently with minimal resource footprint.

Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize Go-based connectors for cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure) and on-prem sources (SMB, SFTP, etc.)
• Implement efficient I/O pipelines, concurrency patterns, and data classification logic
• Ensure the system performs well in edge environments with limited resources
• Participate in architectural reviews and performance benchmarking
• Collaborate with senior engineers and architects to align with technical direction
• Take ownership of development tasks—from spec to deployment—within defined scopes
• Write clean, efficient, and testable code

Qualifications

• 5+ years of Go experience; solid command of goroutines, channels, and context management
• Experience building CLI tools and long-running daemons
• Familiarity with AWS/GCP/Azure SDKs and identity models (IAM, roles, service accounts)
• Proficient in debugging, profiling, and performance optimization
• Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, Redis, etc.)
• Familiarity with messaging systems (e.g., Kafka, PubSub)
• Proven ability to work autonomously and deliver consistent, high-quality output
• Strong attention to detail and ownership mindset

Requirements

• Exposure to monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana)
• Experience with other programming languages like C++
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines
• Startup or fast-paced team experience

Benefits

• Competitive salary and potential equity
• Opportunity to work on technically challenging products with clear delivery goals
• Modern tech stack and developer tooling
• Flexible remote policy with a no-nonsense culture of delivery
• A professional and supportive engineering environment that values autonomy and results
