Backend Engineers Who Actually Know Go

How do you vet Golang developers differently from general backend hires?

We test specifically for concurrency patterns, memory management, and real production Go experience — writing idiomatic Go under load is a different skill than writing Go that compiles. Candidates work through a live technical assessment before we ever propose them to a client.

Do you only do Golang, or can this integrate with our existing stack?

We embed Go engineers alongside your existing team and stack — most engagements involve Go handling one performance-critical service while the rest of the system stays in whatever it's already in. We don't push a full-stack Go rewrite unless that's genuinely the right call.

Is Go actually necessary for our use case, or is this over-engineering?

We'll tell you honestly if it isn't. Go earns its place for high-concurrency, low-latency, or resource-constrained services — if your bottleneck is elsewhere, we'll say so instead of selling you a rewrite you don't need.

Can you migrate an existing service to Go without downtime?

Yes — we typically run the new Go service alongside the existing one behind a feature flag or routing layer, cutting traffic over gradually once it's proven under real load.

How much does a dedicated Golang developer cost per month?

A dedicated Golang developer runs $3,800–$7,000/month depending on seniority and system complexity, slightly above general full-stack rates given the smaller specialist talent pool. Project-based Go engagements (e.g., a single microservice build) typically run $8,600–$21,500.
