The role

We are looking for a talented Go Developer with a deep understanding of middleware development and embedded systems.

Working closely with the architect, you will ensure that domain-specific control applications meet high standards of quality, reliability, and extensibility, allowing them to thrive in long-term, mission-critical environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop, test, and maintain the “middleware” layer, providing essential services for system configuration, provisioning, data visualization, and monitoring.
  • Collaborate with architects and cross-functional teams to define, refine, and validate (non-)functional requirements for each feature.
  • Implement secure, scalable, and reusable code to support the platform’s functionality across various devices, with a strong emphasis on quality and code stability.
  • Engage in discussions on software architecture, design principles, and best practices to ensure efficient and reliable system performance.
  • Oversee code quality across the team, providing mentorship and guidance in areas like testing, reusability, and adherence to design guidelines.

About You

We are looking for someone with an advanced understanding of Go and middleware, and a keen eye for code quality and long-term maintainability.

What you bring

  • Experience Level: Medior/Senior with experience in Scrum/Agile, capable of working both independently and collaboratively.
  • Technical Expertise: proven skills in Go (Golang) development, focusing on code structure, scalability, and best practices.
  • Architectural Knowledge: familiarity with software design principles and the ability to translate high-level requirements into a robust technical implementation.
  • Embedded Systems: experience in developing software for embedded systems, including knowledge of Bazel for build management.
  • Testing Skills: proficiency in developing and implementing verification and validation tests.
  • Communication Protocols: knowledge of gRPC, MQTT, and Protocol Buffers.
  • Version Control: Skilled with Git.
  • Languages: Fluent in English; Dutch is a strong plus but not essential.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Full-Stack Awareness: experience with CI/CD (e.g., Jenkins) and familiarity with Angular or other front-end frameworks.
  • Security Best Practices: a strong understanding of authentication and authorization mechanisms, especially in embedded and networked systems.
