The objective of this project is to develop the backend systems for a social media-focused application. The project scope encompasses the establishment of user management, content feeds, post and comment operations, notification processes, search services, cache utilization, and a high-traffic API infrastructure.

Prospective candidates will utilize the Go programming language in their backend development processes and will have the opportunity to build a scalable and high-performance system architecture using technologies such as PostgreSQL, Couchbase, and Redis. Additionally, designing service layers tailored to the specific needs of diverse clients and delivering API traffic in a secure, controlled, and manageable manner are among the primary targeted deliverables of the project.

Criteria and Expectations

• Demonstrated experience in backend service development using the Go programming language.
• Experience working with REST APIs or similar service architectures.
• Familiarity with BFF (Backend for Frontend) and API Gateway architectures.
• Proven experience developing projects utilizing PostgreSQL databases.
• Familiarity with Couchbase or similar NoSQL/document-based databases.
• Proficiency in Redis cache architecture and fundamental use cases.
• Fundamental understanding of user, post, comment, like, follow, and notification flows utilized in social media applications.
• Comprehensive knowledge of data modeling, error handling, service decoupling, and API design in backend systems.
• Strong proficiency in fundamental data structures and algorithms.
• Solid understanding of modular software development principles.
