GO developers for hire.

Hiring freelance Go developers is a great way to tap into specialized skills without committing to full-time hires. Look for contractors with 3+ years of Go experience and knowledge of concepts like concurrency, channels, interfaces, and testing.

Vet their abilities to build secure, scalable systems and work with technologies like Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms. Strong communication skills are essential. Pay rates range from $60-$150+ per hour based on location and seniority.

Go devs are in demand at tech companies and enterprises modernizing systems and building cloud-native apps. Their expertise can be invaluable for microservices, APIs, and back-end systems.

• Experience with Go language fundamentals - including syntax, built-in types, concurrency primitives like goroutines and channels, error handling, testing, etc.
• Familiarity with Go standard library - understanding use cases for packages like net/http, encoding, io, container/list, and more.
• GRPC and RPC experience - building efficient remote procedure calls and APIs.
• Concurrency understanding - leveraging goroutines, channels, mutexes, and wait groups to build concurrent programs.
• Web development - using frameworks like Gin, Echo, and Beego for building web servers, APIs, and microservices.
• Database experience - integrating Relational (SQL) and NoSQL databases like MongoDB DynamoDB.
• Containerization skills - using Docker Kubernetes for container orchestration and deployment.
