As a Backend Golang Developer, I help businesses build scalable, high-performance software using clean architecture and modern engineering practices, moreover I can cover your Full stack developer (have over 6 years of experience) needs as I used to work with React and Vue in my past jobs. With strong experience as a Golang developer, I can give you help with Software Architecture & Design and Software Development of your next Start up, I specialize in turning complex requirements into reliable, maintainable products โ€” from MVPs to production-ready systems. ๐Ÿš€ Services I Offer โœ… I build high-performance backend systems using Golang Go designed for scalability and reliability. โœ… I develop secure and efficient RESTful APIs / Golang gRPC APIs for web and mobile applications. โœ… I design and implement microservices architectures for years using Golang React and modern cloud technologies. โœ… I optimize backend performance to handle high traffic and large-scale data processing. โœ… I integrate third-party APIs, payment gateways, and external services into existing systems. โœ… I develop concurrent and distributed systems that take full advantage of Goโ€™s performance capabilities. โœ… I write clean, maintainable, and well-tested Go code following industry best practices. โœ… I fix bugs, refactor legacy code, and improve the stability of existing Go language applications. โœ… I deploy and manage Go applications using containerization and cloud platforms. โœ… I collaborate with teams to design efficient system architecture and backend workflows. ๐Ÿš€ Side Services Maybe as a Golang Developer I cannot help you with your Salesforce API or be your iOS developer, but I definitely can take over other stacks, and be your full stack developer with Node.js or MERN React, as I worked with these technologies. In some projects, I also used to provide services as Python developer to deliver environment automation scripts. ๐Ÿš€ Experience โฉ I developed an AdTech platform for managing marketing events and user analytics at Dram / Play Studio using GoLang gRPC. โฉ I created an analytics platform to track marketing campaigns and analyze user traction across multiple products. โฉ As Golang Developer, I helped split a monolithic backend into microservices to improve scalability and system reliability. โฉ I supported and maintained backend infrastructure for seven different mobile game backends. โฉ I implemented leaderboard systems and real-time chat features using WebSockets for online games. โฉ I managed cloud infrastructure and DevOps processes as the only DevOps engineer in the company. โฉ As a Golang Developer, I worked at Pure Storage where I maintained and improved critical cloud infrastructure products. โฉ I implemented real-time edge-to-cloud metrics and diagnostics collection systems. โฉ I designed messaging systems that enabled communication between cloud services and edge storage products. โฉ As a DevOps engineer, I established CI/CD processes and unified software delivery pipelines across multiple engineering teams. โฉ I implemented internal tools for collecting metrics about code quality, security vulnerabilities, and deployments. โฉ As a full stack developer, I worked at Microsoft on identity and authentication features for Microsoft Teams.

I can own the backend, frontend, AI workflow, and deployment, so you donโ€™t need separate developers for each layer. I also work with AI tools like Claude Code, OpenAI Codex and Cursor to move faster across architecture, implementation, debugging, testing, and code review, while still personally reviewing and verifying the plan, specs and code that goes to production. I have 5+ years of experience across AI engineering and full-stack development, with hands-on work in fintech, eKYC, OCR/computer vision, internal AI tools, knowledge assistants, automation, and SaaS products. I donโ€™t use AI as a replacement for engineering judgment. I use techniques such as Agent Skills, MCP integrations, custom subagents, hooks, repo-level instructions, context engineering, parallel agent workflows, automated test generation, code-review agents, and CI verification to give coding agents the right context and guardrails. This helps me deliver faster without turning the codebase into unreviewed AI-generated code. ๐Ÿ/ ๐ˆ ๐œ๐š๐ง ๐ก๐ž๐ฅ๐ฉ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก: โ–ช AI SaaS MVP development from idea to working product โ–ช LLM/RAG applications for documents, internal knowledge, search, and support โ–ช AI agents and multi-step automation workflows โ–ช Custom AI chatbots with private knowledge base integration โ–ช Backend API development with FastAPI, Django, Flask, Node.js, and Golang โ–ช Full-stack web apps using React.js, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Docker โ–ช OCR, computer vision, ID/document extraction, and eKYC systems โ–ช Web crawling, data pipelines, dashboards, and internal automation tools โ–ช Mobile and cross-platform apps using Flutter and Android ๐Ÿ/ ๐‚๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐’๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ: โ–ช Programming Languages: Python, Golang, JavaScript, TypeScript, Rust, Dart โ–ช Backend: FastAPI, Django, Flask, Node.js, Celery, REST API, PostgreSQL, MongoDB โ–ช Frontend: React.js, Next.js, JavaScript, responsive UI development โ–ช AI/ML: LLM, RAG, LangChain, Ollama, PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenCV, YOLO โ–ช AI Product Development: AI agents, chatbots, document Q&A, knowledge retrieval, AI automation โ–ช Data & Automation: Web crawling, Scrapy, data extraction, data processing, workflow automation โ–ช DevOps: Docker, GCP, API deployment, production support โ–ช Mobile: Flutter, Android, cross-platform application development ๐Ÿ‘/ ๐’๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ก๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค: โ–ช Built a multi-agent AI news discovery system that processed 150-300 articles per day, reduced duplicate content by around 70-85%, and delivered daily digests plus real-time alerts for important fintech/business updates. โ–ช Developed an internal AI customer-support assistant that helped agents search company knowledge faster, reducing average lookup time from 3-5 minutes to under 1 minute per ticket. โ–ช Built a local LLM/RAG-style internal wiki assistant using Ollama, document retrieval, and metadata filtering over thousands of internal pages. โ–ช Developed eKYC backend services using Golang and AI/OCR pipelines, helping reduce onboarding time by up to 95%. โ–ช Built Vietnamese ID Card OCR and computer vision systems using YOLO, TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenCV, and custom image-processing algorithms. โ–ช Created full-stack systems using Python, FastAPI, Django, Flask, Node.js, React.js, Next.js, Flutter, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Docker, and GCP. ๐Ÿ’/ ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฆ๐š๐ค๐ž๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐ž ๐๐ข๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐ญ: โ–ช I can work across the full product lifecycle, from architecture and backend APIs to AI workflows, frontend UI, deployment, and iteration. โ–ช I understand both AI experimentation and practical software delivery. โ–ช I focus on business results, not just technical implementation. โ–ช I communicate clearly, ask the right questions, and help clients avoid overbuilding too early. โ–ช I can move fast for MVPs while still keeping the system clean and scalable.

How to Hire Top Golang Developers

What is a Golang developer?

The Go language, often referred to as Golang, is an open-source programming language built for solving problems encountered in complex software infrastructure environments. A Golang developer can help you with programming across large-scale networks or systems. .

How do you hire a Golang developer?

You can source Golang developers on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. Youโ€™ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in a Golang developer.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once youโ€™ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview Golang developers. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview.ย 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of Golang developers you need to complete your project.

How much does it cost to hire a Golang developer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced Golang developer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.

How do you write a Golang developer job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you donโ€™t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if theyโ€™re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what youโ€™re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample Golang developer job post titles:

  • Chrome extension developer familiar with the Go language
  • Need senior back-end developer expert in Golang
  • Do you really know Go? We want to hire you

Project description

An effective Golang developer job post should include:ย 

  • Scope of work: From coordinating with solution architects to explaining all technical requirements, list all the deliverables youโ€™ll need.ย 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.ย 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, software, or languages, mention this here.ย 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Golang developer job responsibilities
