Senior Golang Engineer

The project focuses on creating an interoperable, portable and scalable cloud-edge infrastructure that is not tied to a single provider. The resulting platform will enable the seamless integration of distributed data-processing solutions across cloud, edge and bare-metal environments and provide the foundation for innovative applications such as autonomous driving, AI/ML workloads and next-generation digital services.
