Hire Go developers
These senior Go developers build services where performance and concurrency matter. They've shipped production APIs, gRPC services and data pipelines in Go, and we test them on goroutine lifecycle and scheduler behaviour, where AI models are often confidently wrong.
01
AI writes Go that compiles but misbehaves
Copilot and similar tools produce idiomatic-looking Go that passes the linter yet mishandles goroutine leaks or channel directionality. Engineers now spend more time reading generated output critically than writing from scratch, so verification skill matters more than typing speed.
02
Concurrency bugs surface later in AI-assisted code
When an AI tool scaffolds concurrent patterns it rarely reasons about the full lifecycle of a goroutine, so data races appear under load instead of in review. Experienced Go engineers catch these by reasoning about scheduler behaviour as well as reading test output.
03
Context window limits hurt large-service work
Go services tend to be spread across many small packages, and AI tools lose thread across package boundaries when the context window fills. Engineers who manage context deliberately, summarising interfaces before switching files, get consistent output; those who don't accumulate drift.
How we assess Go developers
Every engineer works through a fundamentals assessment with AI tools switched off and a second assessment with their own agents running. For Go developers, these criteria carry the most weight.
- Technical understanding
In the fundamentals assessment, engineers work in a real Go codebase and are asked to explain goroutine scheduling, channel direction and escape analysis, areas where shallow knowledge is easy to hide behind plausible-sounding answers.
- AI output verification
In the second assessment, with their own agents running, engineers get a generated concurrent Go snippet with a subtle goroutine leak and have to find and fix it. This shows whether they can reason about runtime behaviour when the model sounds confident.
- Context-switch hygiene
Go projects spread logic across many small packages, so we watch whether engineers summarise interfaces and package contracts before switching files, keeping generated code consistent across boundaries.

How to review AI-generated code
Reviewing AI-generated code changes some of what reviewers look for and keeps the rest. This entry covers both, plus the specific failure modes to check for.
What is Backend as a Service (BaaS)?
BaaS provides pre-built cloud infrastructure (databases, auth, storage, APIs) so teams ship apps without building or managing servers from scratch.
What changed about code review
AI-generated code has changed what code review looks for. This entry explains why reviews take longer and what skills reviewers now need.
Questions about hiring Go developers
How senior are the Go developers on Miyagami?
They're senior, with 6+ years' experience on average, and they've shipped and maintained production systems in Go. Every one has passed both assessments, and you see their scorecards before you meet them.
How do you test Go specifically?
Engineers do two sixty-minute assessments in a real Go codebase. The first covers goroutine lifecycle, channel semantics and debugging with the standard toolchain, with AI tools off. In the second they work with their own agents, and we test whether they catch what the model gets wrong about concurrent behaviour. You get both scorecards.
How quickly can a Go developer start?
You get a shortlist in five working days. From shortlist to first commit is typically three weeks, covering your interview, any technical conversation you want to run and contract setup. Engagements are full-time only, with a three-month minimum.
What does a Go developer cost through Miyagami?
You pay a fixed monthly fee of €5,600 to €8,000 per full-time engineer, with employment, payroll and compliance included and no recruitment fee. The pricing page compares it with the all-in cost of a senior local hire in your country. Engagements are full-time with a three-month minimum, and if a placement doesn't work out, we replace them at our cost.
Do they work in our stack and tools or their own?
A full-time Go developer costs €5,600 to €8,000 a month, with no recruitment fee and nothing upfront. Engagements are full-time with a three-month minimum. If the fit is wrong, we replace the engineer at our cost.
Get a shortlist within five working days
You share the roles and the stack in a short form or a thirty-minute call. Within five working days you get named senior engineers to review, each with both scorecards.
