Our client is looking for a **Go developer** who will be on developing Go packages and programs that are scalable and maintainable:
- You will ensure that these Go packages and programs are well documented and have reasonable test coverage;
- You will coordinate with the rest of the team working on different layers of the infrastructure. 
A commitment to collaborative problem-solving, sophisticated design, and quality product is essential.
This project will continue for 2 years, but beyond that, it is possible that we could need to shift you to another project using another technology. This is the nature of our business, being driven by client needs. We have worked in Rust, Go, Erlang, and Python – we find that an awesome developer in one language is usually awesome in the other languages given some time, but we fully understand that some people want to stick to one technology and grind that skill.

- Ability to write clean and effective Godoc comments;
- Familiarity with code versioning tools such as Git.

**Soft Requirements**
