Golang Backend API With JWT

Job ID: 40106769

Budget: $2 – $8 USD

I need a seasoned Go developer to craft a secure, well-structured REST API. The core of the job is pure API development in Golang, with stateless authentication handled through JWT.

My application logic is already mapped out; what’s missing is a clean, idiomatic Go implementation that can scale. I expect modular handlers, middleware for token validation, and concise unit tests. I’m flexible on the underlying relational database—PostgreSQL or MySQL both fit the stack—so we can decide together which one serves the data model best.

If you’re comfortable using Go frameworks such as Gin or Echo, containerising with Docker, and documenting endpoints with Swagger/OpenAPI, you’ll be right at home here.

Deliverables:
• Fully functional Go codebase with JWT auth middleware
• Database schema and migration scripts
• Dockerfile or docker-compose for local spin-up
• Swagger/OpenAPI documentation
• Brief README explaining setup and build commands

Quality, clarity, and maintainability are paramount. Once the above items are in place and tests pass, the project is complete. I’m ready to start as soon as you can outline your approach and timeline.
