Senior Software Engineer- Golang

**Senior Software Engineer – Golang Germany Opportunity**

Location: Bangalore for the first 6 months, followed by posting in Germany
Employment Type: Full-Time
Experience: Typically 7+ years overall, with a minimum of 4–5 years of strong hands-on Golang experience
Industry Preference: SaaS / Product Companies
Notice Period: Up to 45 days can be considered

Role Overview

We are looking for strong Senior Software Engineers, Tech Leads, Principal Engineers or hands-on Technical/Solution Architects with deep Golang expertise and a strong product-engineering mindset.

The selected candidate will initially work from Bangalore for approximately 6 months, during which they will integrate with the engineering team, understand the product architecture, technology environment and business requirements. Following this initial stint, the candidate will be posted in Germany and continue working with the international engineering and product teams.

The candidate does not need to currently hold an Architect designation. Strong Senior Software Engineers, Principal Engineers or Tech Leads who independently design and build product features and services from scratch are encouraged to apply.

The role requires someone who can work independently, understand requirements, make technical decisions and take ownership of solutions from design through implementation.

The underlying requirement is for a hands-on engineering profile rather than a governance-only architect. The original role includes direct coding, architectural decision-making and ownership of scalable SaaS product components. Solution Architect JD -Widas Gr…
