Concurrent API engineers
HTTP APIs with goroutines, channels, and timeouts treated as product work, not a net/http handler that leaked into production.

GoLang developers who ship concurrent services
A Go hire is not “someone who can start an HTTP server.” iQud engineers ship goroutine-safe APIs, bounded microservices, and cloud-native components that survive the next feature, not a main.go that grew into production.

The GoLang seats we actually staff
“Go” is not one job. We match on the service your product needs: the same stacks behind iQud’s live Software Development, Cloud, and PostgreSQL pages.
01 02 High-performance microservices
Bounded services with contracts, retries, and an owner in standup, not a fleet of copies of the same binary.
03 Cloud-native backend components
Workers, gateways, and sidecars that deploy with the rest of the fleet, in your cloud, in your repo.
04 Queues, workers, and fan-out
Background jobs as product work, idempotent consumers, not a goroutine that escaped into staging.
05 Data layers the next service can live with
Postgres schemas and indexes designed so the next feature does not fight last quarter’s table shape.
06 When Java, Python, or a mixed backend seat is better
A Spring Boot enterprise API or a data-adjacent Python service still wants a different hire. We will say so on the intro call instead of forcing a Go-only seat.
Tools they open on day one
Every tile is a live iQud technology or service page. The strip below is Go with the data, container, and cloud tools these engineers already ship.
From intro call to a merged PR
A GoLang hire should be shipping a route or a service in your repo, not sitting in a two-month onboarding theatre while the service contract stays a rumour.
1 Map the Go gap
API vs worker vs microservice, Gin vs stdlib, seniority, overlap hours, and what “done in 30 days” looks like on the service layer.
2 Shortlist real engineers
We match available Go specialists to your brief and share relevant API, concurrency, or cloud-native work.
3 You interview
Meet the human who will join standup. Validate how they talk through a leaked goroutine, a failed job, and the last unversioned handler they actually owned.
4 First sprint in your tools
Repo access, environments, and a first pull request, typically inside a week once you say go.
Start with one seat. Grow if the backlog says so.
Most clients embed a single Go engineer first. A pair or a service split only when the work actually needs it.
One embedded engineer
A GoLang specialist joins your squad, takes direction from your lead, and works in your rituals.
Best forClosing an API or throughput gap without a new vendor process
Dedicated GoLang seat
A stable owner for the API, a worker fleet, or the service tree, with senior review on the sprint.
Best forA product that needs a named Go owner
Scoped Go initiative
A defined slice: a new bounded service, a concurrency cutover, or a cloud-native path with contracts already in motion.
Best forA milestone you can point at, not an open-ended bench
GoLang hiring rates, in writing
Two ways to staff a GoLang engineer. Hourly for spikes and defined tickets. A dedicated monthly seat when you want someone in your standup every day, at a lower effective rate than running the clock.
Hire by the hour
$20/ hour
Flexible Go capacity for API spikes, reviews, and scoped tickets. You only pay for hours worked.
- Same Go engineers as a monthly seat
- Best for overflow, a handler fix, or a single service
- Start fast, pause when the spike is done
- Billed against actual hours, not a retainer
Best value
Hire for a month
$2,000/ month
A named GoLang engineer on your sprint, about 160 hours of dedicated service capacity, with senior review in the cadence.
A full-time month at $20 is $3,200. This seat is $2,000.
- Named engineer in your repo, environments, and standup
- API and worker work in the same engagement
- Month-to-month. No annual lock-in.
- Lower cost than the same hours billed at $20
Rates are for dedicated GoLang engineers (APIs, concurrency, cloud-native services). Seniority mix and overlap hours are confirmed on the intro call. We will not quote a stack we do not already ship.
Why product teams staff GoLang here
A mediocre Go developer produces a demo that works on their laptop. These engineers produce a service that survives real traffic, real concurrency, and your next quarter of routes.
Concurrent services, not “Go who can ListenAndServe”
They live in goroutines, context cancellation, and why last week’s 500s came from a handler that should have been a worker with a timeout.
Your repo, your cloud, your hours
GIFT City overlap with Europe and the US. Service reviews happen live when your leads are online.
Senior eyes on the sprint
Mid-level speed without unsupervised schema drift. Review is part of the engagement, not an extra SKU.
Ten clients a quarter, on purpose
We do not run a revolving bench. Capacity is limited so the engineer you interview is the one in standup.
GoLang hiring questions
Start with one. Most clients embed a single senior or mid-level Go engineer, then add a pair if the API or throughput backlog justifies it.
All three when they are product work in Go. An API seat is versioned HTTP services. A microservice seat is bounded binaries with contracts. A worker seat is concurrent jobs that stay in the repo. We will only shortlist engineers on stacks we already ship.
That is a backend hire, not this seat. Say so on the intro call and we will not force a Go-only profile onto a mixed service bench.
After we map the role and you approve the hire, first pull requests typically land within a week, faster when the repo and environments are ready.
Yes. GitHub, Jira, your cloud, your standups. We do not invent a parallel process unless you ask for one.
Hourly ($20) is for spikes and defined tickets. You pay only for hours worked. The monthly seat ($2,000) is a named GoLang engineer on your sprint, about 160 hours of dedicated capacity. The same month billed hourly would be $3,200. Seniority and overlap hours are confirmed on the intro call.
Give the product a Go engineer who can ship the service
Tell us API vs worker vs microservice, the data layer, and the first route you want in production. We’ll come back with a named profile, a start window, and a two-week plan.
