Project Overview
  • Seeking a contractor to help us remove all usages of GoGoProto (gogoproto) from the protobuf packages in the main live tier service.
  • This work is part of a broader modernization effort, and the changes will have significant impact across our metadata model and service interfaces.
    • Responsibilities
  • Identify and remove all uses of GoGoProto extensions in protobuf definitions.
  • Update .proto files to use standard protobuf features, replacing deprecated/custom gogoproto options where needed.
  • Regenerate protobuf code using standard tooling (protoc, protoc-gen-go, etc.) compatible with our Go/GRPC-based infrastructure.
  • Refactor Go services that rely on gogoproto-generated behavior (e.g., JSON serialization, custom options, field behavior).
  • Coordinate with the Filesystem team to validate changes, ensure compatibility, and integrate with ongoing development work.
  • Document migration steps and provide guidance for long-term maintainability.
    • Requirements
  • Solid experience working with Protocol Buffers in a Go/GRPC environment.
  • Familiarity with large-scale service-oriented architectures.
  • Strong understanding of code generation workflows and protobuf tooling.
  • Comfortable navigating and updating large, production-critical codebases.
  • Ability to work independently and communicate effectively with the team.
  • Bonus: Experience with GoGoProto and its ecosystem of extensions and options.
