Hire developers
Go is the language of infrastructure, so the strongest part of the pool sits in backend services, networking, and the cloud native world (Kubernetes, Docker, and everything built around them). The syntax is small and easy to pick up, which cuts both ways: plenty of people list Go after shipping one microservice, and surface familiarity looks a lot like depth on a resume. The real risk is concurrency. Goroutines and channels make it trivial to write code that passes tests and then leaks or races under load, and spotting who actually understands that is the whole game.
Look for someone who treats concurrency as something to be careful with, not something to sprinkle everywhere: they know when a channel is the wrong tool, how context cancellation propagates, and why the race detector exists. Ask for a specific production story about a goroutine leak, a data race, or a deadlock, and how they found it (pprof, the race detector, or just reading stack dumps). Error handling is another tell. Strong Go engineers have opinions about wrapping errors and where to handle versus propagate them, rather than swallowing everything. If someone cannot describe a concurrency bug they have actually chased down, they have probably only written the easy paths.
