MatchMove is Looking for:

As a Technical Lead (Backend ), you will play a pivotal role in shaping the engineering foundation for a robust, real-time, cross-border payment platform. You’ll be writing clean, secure, and scalable Go services powering billions in financial flows, while championing engineering excellence and thoughtful platform design.

You will contribute to::

• Developing and scaling distributed payment transaction systems for cross-border and domestic remittance use cases.
• Designing resilient microservices in Go for high-volume, low-latency transaction flows with regional compliance and localization.
• Owning service-level metrics such as SLA adherence, latency (p95/p99), throughput, and availability.
• Building API-first products with strong documentation, mocks, and observability from day one.
• Enabling faster, safer development by leveraging Generative AI for test generation, documentation, and repetitive coding tasks — while maintaining engineering hygiene.
• Mentoring a high-performing, globally distributed engineering team and contributing to code reviews, design sessions, and cross-team collaboration.
  
  
  

Responsibilities

• Lead design and development of backend services in Go with concurrency, memory safety, and observability in mind.
• Manage service uptime and reliability across multi-region deployments via dashboards, tracing, and alerting.
• Maintain strict SLAs for mission-critical payment operations and support incident response during SLA violations.
• Profile and optimize Go services using tools like pprof, benchstat, and the Go race detector.
• Drive code quality through test-driven development, code reviews, and API-first workflows (OpenAPI / Swagger).
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, QA, DevOps, Compliance, and Business to ensure production-readiness.
• Maintain well-documented service boundaries and internal libraries for scalable engineering velocity.
• Encourage strategic use of Generative AI for API mocking, test data generation, schema validation, and static analysis.
• Advocate for clean architecture, technical debt remediation, and security best practices (e.g., rate limiting, mTLS, context timeouts).
  
  
  

Requirements

• Atleast 7 years of engineering experience with deep expertise in Go (Golang).
• Expert-level understanding of concurrency, goroutines, channels, synchronization primitives, and distributed coordination patterns
• Strong grasp of profiling and debugging Go applications, memory management, and performance tuning.
• Proven experience in instrumenting production systems for SLAs/SLIs with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry.
• Solid experience with PostgreSQL / MySQL, schema design for high-consistency systems, and transaction lifecycle in financial services.
• Experience building, documenting, and scaling RESTful APIs in an API-first platform environment.
• Comfort with cloud-native tooling, containerization, and DevOps workflows (CI/CD, blue-green deployment, rollback strategies).
• Demonstrated understanding of observability practices: structured logging, distributed tracing, and alerting workflows.
  
  
  

Brownie Points

• Experience in payments, card issuance, or remittance infrastructure.
• Working knowledge of PHP (for legacy systems).
• Contributions to Go open-source projects or public technical content.
• Experience with GenAI development tools like AWS Q , CodeWhisperer in a team setting
• Track record of delivering high-quality services in regulated environments with audit, compliance, and security mandates.
