Senior Software Engineer (Go)
Job Summary
CodiLime is a software and network engineering industry expert and the first-choice service partner for top global networking hardware providers software providers and telecoms. We create proofs-of-concept help our clients build new products nurture existing ones and provide services in production environments. Our clients include both tech startups and big players in various industries and geographic locations (US Japan Israel Europe).
While no longer a startup - we have 250 people on board and have been operating since 2011 weve kept our people-oriented culture. Our values are simple:
Act to deliver.
Disrupt to grow.
Team up to win.
You will join the team behind a leading network source-of-truth (NSoT) platform used by thousands of organizations - from fast-growing tech companies to Fortune 500 enterprises - to model document and automate their network infrastructure.
CodiLime engineers work within the platforms Observability team which builds the software responsible for network discovery and reconciliation (keeping the platforms documented network state in sync with what is actually discovered on the network) network observability and monitoring as well as the agents and fleet management that collect data from customer networks. The team develops both closed-source and open-source components used by the products large community. Observability is a key part of network automation: it keeps the platforms view of the network accurate and up to date.
The platform is built AI-first with its own Claude Code agent skills and MCP server and that mindset carries over to how the team works: AI-assisted development is actively cultivated day to day to help the team move fast and consistently land high-quality results.
The scale is significant - some of the platforms largest customers manage hundreds of thousands of devices each with multiple interfaces across globally distributed environments.
As the observability offering keeps growing the team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer who can strengthen coverage in US time zones.
Technology stack:
Programming languages: Go (primary language) Python (tests and tooling)
APIs: gRPC Connect RPC with Protobuf
Data & messaging: PostgreSQL (including migrations) Redis RabbitMQ
Architecture: multi-tenant services event-driven systems
Security: OAuth2 / OIDC
Observability: OpenTelemetry metrics and instrumentation Grafana Prometheus
Network & device protocols: SNMP gNMI CLI-based collection MQTT
Containerization & Orchestration: Docker (Docker Compose for local/test environments) Kubernetes
Cloud: AWS
CI/CD: GitHub Actions Ansible
AI tooling: Claude Code MCP servers Anthropic tooling
What else you should know:
Small cross-functional team with strong ownership of code quality security and tests
The team is distributed across Europe and the US and we are looking for someone to strengthen coverage in US time zones (ideally Eastern Time) including customer support production issues and on-call
AI tools are part of the daily workflow including AI-assisted test writing and internal data/feed management tooling
This is a backend-focused role

We work on multiple interesting projects at a time so it may happen that well invite you to an interview for another project if we see that your competencies and profile are well suited for it.
As a part of the project team you will be responsible for:
Designing and building Go services for network discovery and reconciliation network observability and monitoring and agents and fleet management
Designing multi-tenant ingestion pipelines for network device data with clear delivery guarantees idempotency and predictable behavior under load
Collecting device identity and state from network devices using protocols such as SNMP gNMI and CLI
Building and evolving gRPC and Connect RPC APIs defined in Protobuf and working with PostgreSQL Redis and RabbitMQ
Instrumenting services with OpenTelemetry and keeping metrics clean and meaningful
Exploring and applying AI-assisted engineering practices - such as interactive Claude Code-driven testing flows - to make development and testing faster and more reliable
Writing technical specifications with diagrams and contributing to architecture and design decisions
Supporting customers production issues and on-call in US time zones
Writing clean maintainable well-tested code and participating in code reviews
