What to look for in a Go freelancer
A strong Go developer should write simple, idiomatic code and understand concurrency deeply. Look for:
- Idiomatic Go, not Java or Python habits forced into Go syntax.
- Real concurrency skill: goroutines, channels, context, and avoiding deadlocks and leaks.
- Careful error handling, since Go makes it explicit and sloppy code shows fast.
- Experience with the standard library and a bias against pulling in needless dependencies.
- Production services they built and operated, ideally in a container or Kubernetes setting.
Ask how a candidate handles a goroutine that might leak. Clear reasoning about context and cancellation separates real Go experience from beginners.
