What this job asks for AI summary
A senior hands-on engineering role centered on building and maintaining Golang-based CLI tools, developer productivity utilities, and automation pipelines aimed at reducing the overhead of managing hardware testing pipelines. The work spans writing technical specs, designing a layered automated testing strategy, contributing to CI/CD pipelines, and provisioning infrastructure on GCP using tools such as Terraform. Suits an engineer with deep production Golang experience in CLI, DevOps, and API contexts rather than a people-management or pure architecture background.
Senior level · 8+ years · National · Bachelor's required

Why we read it this way (7)
No work location or metro area is specified in the posting; CBSA is left blank. FastTek Global is headquartered in Michigan, but the role's location is not stated.
Employment type is not explicitly stated. FastTek is an IT staffing/consulting firm, so this could be a contract placement, but the posting describes full benefits (medical, 401k, PTO, etc.) suggesting a W2 arrangement — still left as Unspecified since the posting never explicitly labels it.
Terraform is called out explicitly within the GCP section of the required skills narrative ('provision infrastructure using Terraform') and is treated as a hard gate alongside GCP.
SonarQube is listed in the required skills with the qualifier 'or experience with equivalent static analysis tooling' — SonarQube is the named primary tool; the alternatives field captures common equivalents. The requirement itself is a hard gate.
REST and gRPC appear only in the 'Additional Information' section under 'API Integration & Microservices,' which reads as supplementary context rather than a primary requirements block — treated as preferred.
SQL appears only in the 'Additional Information' section under 'Database Expertise' and is described as 'valued' — treated as preferred.
The 8+ years figure applies both at the total experience level and specifically to production Golang development; Go's years demanded is set to 8 accordingly.
