Job Description

We are building AI-powered data intelligence products that make information accessible and actionable. As a Senior Backend Developer, you will design and implement scalable backend services powering GoPie (natural language to SQL for datasets), TagoreAI (AI research platform with 2M+ verified documents), and Dataful (India's largest curated data repository). You'll work on NL2SQL engines, LLM orchestration, real-time streaming APIs, and high-performance analytical systems that enable users to explore complex data through conversation.
Core Responsibilities
Architecture & Development

• Design and build high-performance, scalable microservices using Go with clean architecture patterns (hexagonal/ports-and-adapters)

• Develop RESTful APIs and real-time streaming endpoints using frameworks like Fiber or Chi

• Implement type-safe database operations using SQLC, GORM, or raw SQL with PostgreSQL

• Build and optimize analytical query engines using DuckDB and MotherDuck for OLAP workloads

• Design event-driven architectures using message brokers.

AI/ML Integration

• Integrate and orchestrate multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini) with pluggable adapter patterns

• Build NL2SQL pipelines that convert natural language queries to validated SQL

• Implement vector search and embedding pipelines for semantic search capabilities

• Design streaming response architectures for real-time AI interactions

Data & Infrastructure

• Design multi-tenant data architectures with proper isolation and access control

• Implement authentication/authorization using OAuth 2.0/OIDC and fine-grained access control.

• Build cloud storage integrations for file management

• Write database migrations and maintain schema evolution strategies

Quality & Leadership

• Write comprehensive unit and integration tests with high coverage

• Conduct code reviews and enforce coding standards

• Mentor junior developers and contribute to architectural decisions

• Document APIs using OpenAPI/Swagger specifications

Requirements
Required Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience writing Production grade Golang code for high performant applications

• Strong understanding of clean architecture patterns (hexagonal, DDD etc)

• Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL including query optimization, indexing, and migrations

• Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs with proper error handling

• Proficiency with Docker and container orchestration basics

• Experience with Git workflows and CI/CD pipelines

• Strong understanding of authentication/authorization patterns (OAuth 2.0, JWT)

• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to code quality

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with analytical databases (DuckDB, ClickHouse, or similar OLAP systems)

• Familiarity with LLM/AI integrations (OpenAI API, LangChain)

• Experience with message queues (NATS, RabbitMQ, Kafka)

• Knowledge of Kubernetes and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS)

• Contributions to open-source projects

Nice to Have

• Rust experience for performance-critical components

• Python experience for ML/data pipelines and scripting

• Experience with vector databases (Qdrant, Pinecone, Weaviate)
