You have built and maintained Go services in production, not just written scripts or CLIs.

You have deployed services to Kubernetes clusters and debugged issues in that environment. API Design: Experience building and maintaining REST APIs. Comfort with request validation, middleware patterns, error handling, and versioning. SQL/Relational Databases: Comfortable writing SQL, designing schemas, and managing migrations against PostgreSQL or similar.

You may also have: Kubernetes Operators: Experience building operators or controllers using controller-runtime/kubebuilder. Understanding of reconciliation loops and CRD design. Helm: Experience authoring and maintaining Helm charts for complex multi-service deployments. Auth/Security: Familiarity with OIDC, SAML, mTLS, or credential-brokering patterns (SigV4, token exchange). Cloud Provider APIs: Hands-on experience with AWS or GCP APIs (IAM, S3, networking). Build Systems: Comfort with Bazel, Make, or similar build tooling in a monorepo or multi-repo setup. Observability: Experience instrumenting services with structured logging (slog), metrics, or distributed tracing.
