Software Engineer (Go)
About Megaport
We’re not your typical tech company – and we don’t want to be. Megaport is the global leader in Network as a Service (NaaS), and has transformed the way businesses connect to the cloud, data centers, and each other. We’re publicly listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and partnered with the biggest names in tech like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM, and more. Headquartered in Brisbane with a crew of over 350 people spread across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas, our employees enjoy an environment that is collaborative, supportive, and (actually) fun.
Our Team Culture
We’re a team of problem solvers, pixel pushers, code slingers, and cloud fanatics. Culture is more than a poster on the wall here – collaboration beats hierarchy, curiosity fuels our growth, and everyone’s voice matters. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We work across time zones to execute on our global vision, trust each other to get things done, and never compromise our values for commercial gain. Most importantly, we place our customers at the center of everything we do.
The Role
Come join us as a key contributor in the development of our network edge compute platform for hosting services, pushing the boundaries of network services with a bespoke, cutting-edge solution that hasn’t been done before.
Sitting within the Edge Services Development team, as a Go developer, you will help design, develop, and maintain our high-performance network edge services platform. This role will work closely with cross-functional teams to build scalable and reliable systems that meet the demanding requirements of the Megaport network.
Only candidates residing in Australia will be considered for this role.
What You'll Be Doing
Continue to build our next-generation edge platform to deliver improved virtualised and containerized products for our customers.
Design and develop the next generation of services that host our Megaport Virtual Edge and Megaport Cloud Router services.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and maintain high performance and highly available backend systems in Go.
Create systems and processes that manage the lifecycle of our Kubernetes clusters that ensure the reliability that our customers expect.
Take ownership of performance monitoring, profiling, and tuning to enhance the responsiveness and reliability of our services.
Identify and resolve bottlenecks, ensuring the application meets stringent performance and security standards.
What We Are Looking For
Proven professional experience as a Backend Engineer using Go.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.
Demonstrated experience with building services on top of Kubernetes.
Solid knowledge of scalable web service development, including RESTful APIs, microservices architecture, and distributed systems.
Proficiency in database management, with hands-on experience in optimizing database performance, designing schemas, and query optimization.
Experience with virtualization technologies such as KVM, and experience with Kubevirt specifically would be a plus.
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to deliver high-quality code in a fast-paced environment.
Experience with performance profiling and debugging tools to optimize system performance.
Familiarity with managing infrastructure on AWS.
Solid understanding of version control systems (Git) and continuous integration/delivery.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively in a team-oriented environment.
What We Offer
Flexible working environment – a remote-first culture with coworking options available.
Generous leave plans – including 4 weeks of paid annual leave, parental leave, birthday leave, and a purchased annual leave program.
Health and wellness support – through a wellness allowance and employee wellbeing initiatives.
Comprehensive learning support – generous study and training allowance plus 5 days of paid study leave
Creative, modern workspaces – designed to inspire when you're not working remotely
Motivated, inclusive team – work alongside industry experts and fresh talent
Recognition programs – celebrate achievements with our Legend and Kudos awards
