A large energy company in the DACH region needed an experienced Go developer to strengthen the team building the back end of its B2B and B2C web solutions. Working through a German IT talent provider it was already collaborating with, INNERLUXES supplied a senior Go engineer who joined the company's 30-person team, onboarded within a week, and contributed across server-side development, legacy refactoring, and automated testing through a successful six-month engagement.
About the Client
The Client is a German IT company that connects businesses needing technical resources with vendors that have large IT talent pools. One of its customers is a large DACH-region company in the energy industry, which needed an experienced Go developer to help implement the back end of its B2B and B2C web solutions.
An Energy Company Needed an Experienced Go Developer
The Client was already working with INNERLUXES on several engagements — business analysis, Salesforce cloud consulting, Java development, and more — and asked whether INNERLUXES also had an experienced Go developer available, sharing an outline of the energy company's Go development needs.
Placing a Senior Go Engineer on the Back-End Team
INNERLUXES analyzed the requirements and put forward three CVs of the most suitable, available senior candidates. The Client chose a Go engineer with 18 years of software development experience and, after an interview, signed a six-month cooperation contract. The developer joined a team of 30 engineers led directly by the energy company's CTO, adjusted to its Scrum process and daily Microsoft Teams stand-ups within a week, and went on to contribute by:
- Implementing new server-side functionality, such as billing.
- Refactoring legacy functionality modules into Go.
- Building automated tests, including Python-based testing.
- Helping onboard new team members.
A Successful Six-Month Engagement
The planned six-month engagement was a success. The Client continues to work closely with INNERLUXES and trusts the competence and professionalism of its specialists.
