Jagadesh Ata — Senior Go Backend Engineer
I build healthcare interoperability platforms in Go: FHIR R4 APIs, HL7 v2 to FHIR integration services, and Kubernetes-native systems that stay predictable in production. My focus is correctness, traceability, and operational clarity for real clinical data.
Open to roles: Senior Go backend, healthcare interoperability, Kubernetes Go development (remote only, US-based in St. Louis).

Role Fit
- Senior Go backend engineering for high-throughput APIs and data pipelines.
- Healthcare interoperability across FHIR R4, HL7 v2, and clinical data exchange workflows.
- Kubernetes Go development (CRDs, controllers, operators) for platform reliability and automation.
Enterprise-Ready Capabilities
| Capability | What it means in production |
|---|---|
| Interoperability correctness | Versioned APIs, strict validation against profiles/IGs, and consistent data lineage. |
| Reliability and observability | End-to-end tracing, metrics, and logs that can explain any clinical event. |
| Security for PHI | OAuth2/OIDC, RBAC, NetworkPolicies, and least-privilege access. |
| Platform delivery | Cloud-agnostic Kubernetes deployments with GitOps and predictable releases. |
Technical Depth
FHIR R4 and HL7 v2 Integration
- Search, pagination, Bundles/transactions, and conditional create/update behavior aligned to real-world FHIR patterns.
- HL7 v2 translation with mapping, normalization, enrichment, and audit-ready lineage.
- Idempotent ingestion and replayability with correlation IDs for end-to-end traceability.
Go API Engineering
- REST and gRPC services with OpenAPI specs, contract tests, and clear error behavior.
- Concurrency patterns with pprof-driven tuning and practical performance guardrails.
- API versioning and schema evolution designed for long-lived healthcare integrations.
Kubernetes-Native Go Development
- CRDs, controllers, and operators using controller-runtime and operator-sdk.
- Golden-path automation to remove toil and enforce production standards.
- GitOps pipelines for repeatable delivery across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Selected Outcomes
- Delivered FHIR R4 APIs and backend workflows for secure clinical data exchange.
- Built HL7 v2 to FHIR services with validation, enrichment, and replay-safe pipelines.
- Implemented traceability and auditability with correlation IDs and structured logs.
- Tuned Go services for predictable latency and stable throughput under load.
- Deployed and operated services across EKS, GKE, AKS, and OpenShift.
