About the role
Backend Developer (Go + React) Location: Bangalore, Karnataka, India (Hybrid) Experience: 3 - 4 Years Job Type: Full-time
What You'll Build
-
At GreedyGame, you'll work on products that process large volumes of advertising, analytics, and monetization data powering the mobile ad ecosystem.
-
This is a backend-heavy role. We're looking for engineers who are primarily strong backend builders with deep, hands-on Golang experience, and who can also confidently build and maintain React-based user interfaces when needed. The majority of your time will be spent on system design, API development, and backend architecture — not UI work.
-
You will own features end-to-end—from database design and API development to frontend implementation and production deployment — with backend ownership as the core of the role.
-
Must-Have Skills
-
Golang (Non-Negotiable, Primary Focus)
-
Minimum 1.5+ years of hands-on production experience building backend services in Golang.
-
Strong understanding of goroutines, channels, concurrency patterns, and memory management.
-
Experience building REST APIs, background workers, event-driven systems, or microservices.
-
Ability to design scalable backend architecture, debug production issues, optimize performance bottlenecks, and write maintainable Go code.
-
Comfortable owning backend systems independently, including infrastructure and deployment concerns.
-
React & Frontend Development (Required, Secondary)
-
Experience building production-grade applications using React.js — this is a must-have, even though the role is backend-focused.
-
Strong understanding of component lifecycle, state management, rendering behavior, and API integration.
-
Experience working with Next.js is preferred.
-
Familiarity with Redux, Zustand, or similar state management solutions.
-
Databases & Infrastructure
-
Experience designing and optimizing SQL databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL.
-
Strong understanding of query optimization, indexing, transactions, and schema design.
-
Experience working with Redis for caching.
-
Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud environments is highly preferred.
-
What Will Make You Stand Out
-
Experience working on ad-tech, analytics, fintech, gaming, SaaS, or other high-scale platforms.
-
Experience handling systems serving millions of API requests or large-scale datasets.
-
Strong understanding of observability, logging, profiling, and production debugging.
-
Contributions to open-source projects, technical blogs, or side projects built using Go.
-
We May Not Be the Right Fit If
-
Most of your experience is frontend-focused with limited backend ownership.
-
You have only academic, training, or side-project exposure to Golang.
-
You have not worked with Golang in a production environment.
-
You have no working experience with React, even if your focus is primarily backend.
-
You prefer narrowly defined tasks over end-to-end product ownership.
-
What Success Looks Like
-
Within your first few months, you will:
-
Build and optimize scalable Golang backend services as your primary responsibility.
-
Ship production-ready features across the backend and, when needed, the frontend.
-
Improve system performance and reliability.
-
Contribute to architectural discussions and code reviews.
-
Take ownership of features from design through deployment.
