Senior Software Developer - Golang

Senior Software Developer - Golang

Build the mobile experiences that bring India's live entertainment to fans' fingertips

Why This Role Exists

From ticket discovery to the final encore, build the tech that makes it all happen

At thumpN, our mobile app is how thousands of fans discover events, buy tickets, and stay connected with live entertainment across India. As we build new features and push into new markets, we need developers who are eager to learn, write quality code, and grow alongside the product.

We are looking for a backend engineer who enjoys solving distributed systems challenges, writing clean and scalable code, and taking ownership of critical services from design to production.

What You'll Actually Do

Real responsibilities, not a wish list

Backend development

• Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services using Golang.

• Develop APIs and microservices that power customer-facing products.

• Build secure, reliable, and high-performance systems for large-scale traffic.

Performance and architecture

• Optimize application performance, database queries, and system reliability.

• Design scalable architectures and contribute to technical decisions.

• Troubleshoot production issues and improve system observability.

Collaboration and ownership

• Work closely with Product, Frontend, DevOps, and QA teams to ship features.

• Participate in code reviews and mentor junior engineers.

• Drive engineering best practices around testing, documentation, and deployment.

What You Bring

Specific experience, not vague credentials

Required

• 4 to 7 years of backend development experience, including 3 or more years with Golang.

• Strong understanding of REST APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.

• Experience with relational and non-relational databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis.

• Familiarity with message queues such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar.

• Experience deploying and operating applications on AWS, GCP, or Azure.

• Strong understanding of system design, scalability, and performance optimization.

• Ownership mindset with the ability to independently drive complex backend projects.

Preferred

• Experience building high-scale consumer internet, fintech, marketplace, or ticketing platforms.

• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.

• Experience with caching strategies, monitoring, and observability tooling.

• Genuine interest in live entertainment, events, or consumer technology.

Non-Negotiables

How we know this is the right fit

• You write code you'd want to maintain two years later. Long-term scalability matters here. The app is growing, the technical decisions you make now will shape what we build next.

• You take features all the way. From development to release, you own the outcome. Handoff culture doesn't work at this stage.

• You care about how it feels, not just whether it works. Performance and reliability matter to fans. A laggy checkout or broken animation is a broken experience.

• You communicate clearly across teams. Product and Design need to understand your constraints. Backend needs to understand your requests. You bridge that gap without friction.

• You thrive when priorities shift. Live entertainment doesn't follow a predictable roadmap. You adapt without losing momentum.
