Senior backend engineer with 7+ years of experience building production systems across payments, observability, data platforms, healthcare, and AI products. I am immediately available and looking for senior backend / platform / infra roles, preferably Go-heavy.
Recently, I built Kafka-backed observability pipelines processing 12M+ events/day at JioStar, with bounded worker pools, circuit breakers, load testing, Grafana dashboards, and staged rollout controls. Before that, at Thunes, I worked on cross-border payments systems supporting $10B+ annual transaction volume with 99.99% uptime, including migrating high-throughput Perl transaction pipelines to Go, building REST APIs, async job processors, Prometheus instrumentation, reconciliation flows, and shared Go libraries.
I’m strongest in Go backend/platform work: distributed systems, concurrency, APIs, Kafka, PostgreSQL, reliability, testing, observability, and production ownership. I’ve also founded and built a Python/FastAPI AI product from scratch, and I have prior open-source experience through Google Summer of Code with CHAOSS/GrimoireLab.
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: Yes, especially Europe / Singapore / UAE
Technologies: Go, Python, Java, Kotlin, Kafka, PostgreSQL, AWS, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Prometheus, Grafana, FastAPI, TypeScript
Résumé/CV: available upon request
