Senior Golang Backend Developer

A bit about us: We are the team behind Gamblit. While we successfully got it to market, building this project as "amateur" developers and vibe-coding a lot of it lead to a laggy backend during peak hours and a codebase that is not clean and hard to scale.

Now, we want to shift to a more professional approach that is easy to scale with nodes across multiple geographical regions & ensuring low latency across Asia, Europe, and America

Role Overview

Join our team as a Senior Backend Developer to help us build our new gambling platform.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement a high-performance backend using Go that can handle thousands of concurrent players via websockets and hundreds of real-time bets.
• Lead the evaluation and implementation of our data layer & helping us finalize the choice between MongoDB and PostgreSQL based on our specific betting logic.
• Ensure regional data residency requirements are met while maintaining a unified global platform.
• Collaborate closely with frontend developers to integrate backend functionalities.

Required Skills

• Deep understanding of Go's concurrency model, memory management, and building high-performance microservices.
• Knowledge of WebSockets for real-time server communication.
• Expertise in distributed systems
• Familiarity with version control systems like Git.

Nice to Have

• Experience in developing for the gambling or gaming industry.
• Experience with Redis PubSub/NATS/RabbitMQ/Kafka for inter-region communication.

We don't care about a generic CV as much as we care about what you’ve actually shipped!

Please make sure to share:

• Live projects where you handled complex, real-time data.
• A GitHub repo or code snippet that demonstrates your approach to Clean Code
• Tell us how you would handle a user’s data if they are jumping between an Asian and European node.
