Backend Engineer (Go / BMC Protocols)

You will work across one of three key engineering tracks:

• Discovery & Inventory

• Provisioning & Monitoring

• Lifecycle / Cross-cutting

Track responsibilities will be assigned at joining, with opportunities for cross-track contributions as the platform evolves.

What You’ll Build

• Contribute to a scalable server management platform

• Work on multi-protocol integrations and backend services

• Build systems supporting device discovery, provisioning, monitoring, and lifecycle management

Key ResponsibilitiesTrack A — Discovery & Inventory

• Multi-protocol discovery:

• Redfish, IPMI, SNMP, SSH, HTTPS

• Develop hardware inventory APIs

• Implement IP-rule and scheduled discovery jobs

• Integrate telemetry pipelines

Track B — Provisioning & Monitoring

• Implement iPXE / HTTP Boot for:

• Linux

• Windows

• Manage multi-OS image catalogues

• Build monitoring pipeline via Compal Telemetry API

• Develop alert engine with multi-channel notifications

Track C — Lifecycle / Cross-cutting

• Build console self-update workflows

• Implement license-tier feature gating

• Enable remote command execution:

• SSH, WinRM, IPMI

• Integrate KVM (noVNC)

Must-Have Skills

• Strong Go (2+ years)

(OR strong Python / Java / Rust with willingness to learn Go in 4–6 weeks)

• Experience with:

• REST & gRPC API design

• Hands-on with:

• PostgreSQL

• Redis

• Strong debugging skills:

• pprof

• dlv

• structured logging

• Testing expertise:

• Unit & integration testing

• Table-driven tests

• Test containers

Nice to Have

• Exposure to:

• Redfish, IPMI, SNMP

• Experience with:

• BMC / out-of-band management

• Track-specific experience:

• iPXE / cloud-init / kickstart (Track B)

• WebSocket / WinRM / SSH-streaming (Track C)

• Experience building:

• Monitoring or alerting platforms

Tech Stack

• Go 1.22+

• gRPC + REST

• PostgreSQL 16

• Redis 7

• NATS JetStream

• Docker

• pprof

• Cobra (CLI)
