(Senior) Golang Developer - Freelance

How freelancing works at Netguru?

But there's more. Netguru freelancers can benefit from full-time collaboration and really be a part of the team.

We are currently seeking a talented Senior Golang Developer.

We are also open to candidates with a Fullstack profile, particularly those who bring solid backend expertise complemented by at least basic hands-on experience in frontend development. This includes working with modern JavaScript frameworks, understanding UI principles, and being able to contribute to end-to-end feature delivery.

B2B Contract
Salary rate up to 34 EUR/h
Fully remote position
Start ASAP

Develop and maintain backend services using Golang (and React if you have experience and are willing to work as a Fullstack Developer) in a modern product environment.

Build features based on high-level product requirements, collaborating closely with Product Managers and Designers to clarify scope, purpose, and expected behavior.

Take ownership of the full development lifecycle, including coding, testing, creating pull requests, and releasing features to production.

Write and maintain automated tests to ensure code quality and reliability.

Work within fast CI/CD pipelines, where code may reach production shortly after approval.

Collaborate with distributed engineering teams in a fully remote setup with a strong emphasis on autonomy and accountability.

Identify blockers early and proactively seek clarification or support when needed.

Contribute to technical discussions and continuously improve engineering practices and product quality.

Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude, Cursor or similar) to enhance productivity and code quality.

Requirements

Must-have Skills

• Experience using AI development tools as part of the engineering workflow.

• Strong problem-solving skills and sense of ownership.
• Excellent English communication skills (spoken and written)..

Nice to Have

• Experience collaborating closely with product and design teams during feature discovery and implementation.
