Senior Backend Developer – Go

About the Role

You’ll work on the core backend of the Intelycx manufacturing platform, building high-performance services that handle real-time data, modular integrations, and multi-factory scalability. The role focuses on designing robust APIs, optimizing data flows, and maintaining a clean, extensible architecture using Go, Fiber, and modern concurrency patterns. You’ll help evolve the platform into a standalone system capable of integrating with third-party services, while supporting the EBR and manufacturing automation workflows already in place.

Must Haves

• Strong Go development experience in production environments
• Deep understanding of Go concurrency: goroutines, channels, worker pools, thread management
• Fiber: building REST APIs and modular backend services
• SQL expertise: schema design, complex queries, performance tuning
• Experience with time-series or high-throughput data workloads
• Data processing pipelines: streaming, batching, queue-based patterns
• Solid understanding of distributed systems and service boundaries
• Docker for containerized Go services
• Git/CI/CD for Go build pipelines and deployments
• Testing: unit tests, integration tests, load testing of Go services

Nice to Haves

• Experience using HTMX with Go backends
• Familiarity with vector databases or search systems (pgVector, OpenSearch, etc.)
• gRPC or protocol-driven service communication
• Redis for caching, job queues, or session handling
• Experience with manufacturing/industrial data (IoT events, machine metrics)
• Background in optimizing CPU-bound services or low-latency systems
• Basic Python understanding for occasional cross-module integration
• Kubernetes or container orchestration

Technical Context

• Backend powering a Django-connected or standalone manufacturing platform
• Real-time ingestion of IoT sensor data
• Integration with the EBR (Electronic Batch Records) system
• Dual-database architecture (main + serverless components)
• High-availability design for multi-factory deployments
• Focus on throughput, latency reduction, and predictable performance

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain backend services using Go and Fiber
• Design scalable APIs and middleware for internal and external integrations
• Optimize performance across concurrency, database access, and data pipelines
• Implement high-throughput background tasks and worker processes
• Ensure reliability through proper testing and monitoring
• Collaborate with frontend and AI teams to deliver end-to-end features
• Contribute to overall system architecture and best practices
