A major German bank is building out a new engineering capability and has made a request for senior GoLang contractors to help form the core of the team.

This is a long‑term, stable programme focused on building and scaling backend services used across critical banking platforms. The work is engineering‑led, well scoped, and designed for contractors who want consistency rather than constant churn.

• Writing clean, performant concurrent code using go routines and channels
• Developing and maintaining RESTful and Graph
  
  QL APIs
• Supporting Type Script‑based services where required
• Working closely with other senior engineers as the team scales

• Strong commercial experience with Go Lang
• Concurrency patterns, go routines, channels, memory management
• Type Script experience with modern frameworks such as React, Angular, Node.js or NestJS
• API design and backend service development
• Experience using Go frameworks such as Gin or Echo

• SQL and No
  
  SQL databases (Postgre
  
  SQL, MySQL, Mongo
  
  DB, Redis)
• Cloud platforms (AWS, GCP or Azure)
• Docker, Kubernetes and CI / CD pipelines
• Testing tools such as Jest, Mocha or Go testing packages
• Secure coding practices, OAuth, JWT, encryption
• German language skills (desirable, not essential)

This role suits a senior contractor who enjoys backend engineering, clean systems and long‑term delivery within a regulated environment.
