Experience

Required:

5 Years

• Design, implement, test, and operate scalable Go services for NFR ingestion, vetting, validation, and gating.
• Implement robust schema encoding for NFR definitions, versioning, and migrations.
• Build integrations with CI/CD (webhooks, runners), policy engines (OPA/rego), observability (Prometheus, tracing), and downstream systems.
• Author core validation pipelines: synchronous (pre-merge) and asynchronous (post-build) checks, retries, back pressure handling.
• Create clear APIs (gRPC/REST) consumed by frontend and other platform components.
• Ensure auditability: immutable logs, tamper-evident records, traceability of gating decisions.
• Lead feature design, own rollout plans, and coordinate cross-functional stakeholders.
• Write thorough unit and integration tests, own CI/CD and deployment strategy for services.

• Strong Go (Golang) production experience – 3 years; idiomatic Go, concurrency patterns, context management.
• API design experience: gRPC and/or REST; protobufs a plus.
• Experience designing and operating event-driven systems (pub/sub, message queues) and streaming processing.
• Familiarity with policy engines (OPA/rego) or ability to encode validation rules.
• Experience with CI/CD integrations (webhooks, pipeline triggers), authentication (OAuth, mTLS), secrets management.
• Observability: exposing Prometheus metrics, structured logging, distributed tracing.
• Solid testing and quality practices (go test, integration testing, fuzzing where appropriate).
• Familiar with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and deployment pipelines.
• Experience with OPA (Open Policy Agent) and writing Rego policies for gating decisions.
• Knowledge of NFR categories (latency, throughput, resiliency, security posture) and how to translate them into testable checks.
• Experience with immutable audit stores (append-only logs, event sourcing).
• Experience in high-throughput validation systems or policy engines.
• Prior work on developer tooling, platform automation, or developer experience
