Now we are looking for a Middle+ Golang Developer for our outstaffing projects.

**About project:** The successful candidate will be working as part of the project, Google’s official WordPress plugin, designed to make it easy for site owners to integrate with Google’s most popular services and be more successful on the web. Originally launched in October 2019, the project continues to be actively developed and supported by a cross-organizational team of engineers, UX, QA, and support specialists.
Today, with 2M+ active installations and growing, this project is one of the most popular plugins in the WordPress ecosystem.

This service is an independent, external service and a fundamental infrastructural component used by this plugin to enable its turn-key experience to bring data from Google APIs into WordPress. It primarily serves as an oAuth proxy between a user’s own Google account and their WordPress site to enable multiple Google APIs to power this plugin dashboard with an emphasis on Google’s standards for security and privacy.
In addition, the service provides a number of supplementary features such as remote-controlled feature rollout, notifications, and surveys to existing users of the plugin. Although the plugin is currently focused primarily on WordPress, this service is designed to be platform agnostic.
