Backend Go Engineer Geckoboard Remote (United Kingdom) £60,000 to £85,000 a year
October 2021

More Than 6 Months Old

Job Description
We're looking for an experienced Backend Go Software Engineer to join the Geckoboard team!
Why join us...
Every single one of us comes to work every day to do something we love. We get to tackle big problems, but in a way that recognises everyone’s need to work with dignity and purpose in a supportive and inclusive environment. It's the most wonderful thing. In fact the fun part is trying to figure out all the different ways we can come up with to make data accessible and understandable for everyone. It really is amazing. The best part is that we work in an atmosphere of openness, trust and transparency, where everyone is empowered to learn and flourish. We're actually doing really well. We have a product our customers love.
We're really excited to be growing.
You'll be joining a team of empowered engineers in a supportive environment that values experimentation, work-life balance and personal development. We've built a culture of knowledge sharing and feedback, so you'll be involved in planning and prioritisation of work as well as peer reviews and pair programming.
We work in small and focused cross-functional teams, usually made up of a Product Manager, a Designer, and a mix of Frontend and Backend Engineers. QA and Infrastructure tend to come in at the points they're needed or for specific projects. We scope out our project such that we're able to deliver meaningful work but small enough to iterate and take on board feedback quickly. We encourage our engineers to get involved in different teams and projects based on their interests, skills and opportunities to learn. We're also equally mindful about technical debt and make sure we dedicate time to addressing it.
At Geckoboard, we are seeking to solve a real problem and build a long-lasting product. As a result, we place a high value on a clean and maintainable codebase, and on practices that ensure we can continue to deliver quality software rapidly and iteratively.
Learning is also a big part of our engineering culture. Once every two weeks every team takes a “Lab Day”, when everyone is free to work on projects that interest them, learn new skills or contribute to open source. We encourage these projects and often they have led to improvements in the way we work or concepts that have then been prioritised, developed further and added to our Product.
Our stack
Our main frontend application is a large React 16+ codebase and our tests are written with Jest. For communicating with our backend services, we use an Apollo client and query a GraphQL gateway written in Node.js that exposes a single schema but dispatches queries to a number of gRPC services on the backend.
While our backend services are mostly written in Go and run on AWS, the GraphQL gateway is owned by the frontend team, which puts them in the driving seat when it comes to defining the APIs for a new piece of functionality, and provides a single point of reference for both frontend and backend.
While adding features to the product, we’ve been building and maintaining an internal React component library with an emphasis on reusability and documentation. Our frontend team is looking to expand this library, with the potential to open source it in the future.
You should apply if...
What we’ve described sounds interesting
You’ve worked with Go before*
You’re interested in distributed systems
You’re collaborative; you empathise, listen and discuss
You actively seek out feedback in your work and to ensure you understand the problem you’re solving
You have experience collaborating on technical decisions in an open and creative environment
You understand the value of automated testing and a test-driven development approach
Right now we're only considering mid to senior-level candidates, if you're interested in joining the Geckoboard team but earlier in your career, head to www.geckoboard.com/careers and get in touch. We'll be hiring at different levels throughout the year, so we'd love to hear from you and chat about future jobs!
Logistics
At this time, we’re only considering candidates who are (or will be) based in the United Kingdom or Western Europe (CET timezone).
Perks & Benefits
Work your best
Right now, we work fully remote from around the globe. We’re big on work-life balance and flexible work. We have some core hours but it's up to you to decide how you work around those. We consider 25 days of holiday a year to be a minimum, not a maximum, and have a flexible working policy so that if you need to step out for a school run, an appointment, or something else, it’s no problem. We don't do "crunch time" and have a deep commitment to a clear separation of life and work.
Some of our team also have shorter working weeks and we’re more than happy to accommodate this or other arrangements when possible. Learn more about life at Geckoboard at www.geckoboard.com/careers.
Interview Process
Our hiring process
20-30 minute call with our Talent Partner
45-minute Zoom video call with the Hiring Manager
Coding Challenge
Meet the team via Zoom - about 2.5 hours
The whole process takes about 3 weeks end to end, but we’re flexible!

July 2021
5 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old
Job Description
We are building the world's premier Operational Intelligence platform for Blockchain. We strive to develop our systems by observing the best practices of our craft; this means writing testable, performant, easy to maintain and constantly improving code, while enabling our company to iterate our product fast and stay ahead.
These are the early days of our platform, and as a Senior Backend Engineer you will be able to contribute, influence and take ownership in significant parts of our systems. Our goal is to build a very high performance platform, capable of analyzing thousands of transactions across multiple blockchain networks in real-time.
If you are a Senior Software Engineer, with a solid understanding of distributed systems, passion for your work and would love to work with a geographically distributed team, join us!
What this position is all about:
Designing and implementing crawlers, software agents and accompanying backend services that feed our Operational Intelligence platform with hundreds of metrics pertaining to the performance and health of Blockchain networks. You will be expected to demonstrate capacity to code (or pick up competence in) Python or Golang.
Working under a Scrum or Kanban framework and releasing product increments on a continuous basis.
Owning your work. This means writing unit tests, ensuring proper containerization, observability/instrumentation and documentation for your code.
Understanding, participating and contributing to the company goals, regardless of your role. Metrika is a small company with a very inclusive culture. We are looking for people that share those values with us.
Please note: Our Engineering team is predominantly based in Europe. This position is currently open to those resident and currently able to work in the European Economic Area (EU, Norway, Liechtenstein), Switzerland, the UK as well the eastern United States/Canada (UTC-4/UTC-5 timezone)
_
Metrika Inc. is an Equal Opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered without regard for race, color, national origin, ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or religion._
Job requirements
You will need:
A bachelor's degree in Computer Science. Masters or higher degrees preferred.
Considerable experience in building production-grade, distributed, cloud native, asynchronous/event-based microservices-based or serverless systems, using Python, Golang, Java/C# or Scala. (At Metrika we're predominantly using Python and Golang for our services at this time.)
Excellent understanding of TDD, agile development methodology and version control.
The ability to function autonomously to solve problems, and deliver working software. Our geographic distribution requires people that can work well on their own.
The ability to communicate well with your team, both interactively and asynchronously, and that of being a positive, constructive team member.
You'll probably be a great fit if you have:
Expert knowledge of Python or Golang.
Experience with blockchain systems.
Experience with key-value, document, time series or other non-relational databases.
Experience with CI/CD.
Experience with Docker/Kubernetes or Serverless environments.
Experience with SQS/SNS, Kafka, Pulsar, RabbitMQ or other brokers.
Experience with public cloud providers, e.g. AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean etc.
As a Software Engineer in the Gaming Transactions squad you will be responsible for building and running the transactions engine which underpins our customer facing products. This is a new and rapidly evolving service which is a key enabler for our platform strategy.
You'll be leading the way with the latest technologies including:
Go for our API backends
MySQL and Kafka for data storage and transport
Docker to containerise them
Jenkins to build them
Kubernetes to host them
Grafana and Prometheus to monitor them
It’s quite OK if some of the above is new to you, so long as you have an appetite and energy for imparting what you know, and learning what you don’t.
About you…
Engineering means more than authoring quality, tested code. It includes the end-to-end delivery pipeline; code driven deployment infrastructure; automated test safety nets; and effective operational instrumentation and incident response.
You’re a team player, who works collaboratively to achieve the shared squad goals. You are unafraid to challenge aspects outside your direct remit and passionately champion ‘the right thing’.
You’ll enjoy working in an architectural domain and you’re an advocate for sustainable software engineering; you strive for good technical design but don’t gold plate or prematurely abstract for a re-use that never materialises.
How you will do it…
Reporting into the Lead Software Engineer, you will:
Turn concepts and requirements into highly available web applications and systems using industry standard languages and technologies such as Go, Kafka, Docker, Prometheus, AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
Espouse the merits of idiomatic Go with a real passion for the language.
Actively participate in application and database design, data flows and detailed technical design. Ensure that analysis includes the wider view of technical and business impact.
Take ownership for code quality, security and scalability and have an equal grasp of the overall system you are working on and how it meets the needs of the end users, and business objectives.
Balance the commercial needs of the business against the ideal technical design, proposing sound phased or tactical implementations where appropriate.
Understand the importance of non-functionals such as real-time monitoring, good alert design and great logging strategies. Ensuring systems perform well to deliver the best user experience possible is something you consider as part of the normal delivery process.
Collaborate with other team members; learning from them, and in turn working with them to help them improve their own skills too.
Support the implementation of continuous integration to enhance deployment processes.
We are using virtual hiring and remote on-boarding to help our candidates and hiring managers stay safe. Face to face interactions will move over to video for this vacancy.
Pay & Benefits
Competitive salary & bonus
Amazing benefits package featuring things like Pension, Healthcare, Dental, Cycle to Work, Gym Membership and loads more

This job posting is no longer available
Job Description
DroneDeploy is the leading cloud software platform for commercial drones, making the power of aerial data accessible and productive for everyone. Trusted by businesses and individuals in over 140 countries worldwide, we are transforming the way drone users collect, manage and digest impactful data in a variety of industries, including agriculture, real estate, mining and construction.

If you’re excited about drones and want to help us create a simple and seamless experience for drone users across the world, we’d love to hear from you!
The Challenge
The DevOps team is tasked with ensuring the reliability and security of our exponentially scaling platform, while serving as a force multiplier for the rest of the engineering organization. Other teams rely upon our expert guidance to design a product that earns the trust of our users, without slowing down the pace of development. We believe that automation and developer empowerment are the key to creating systems that are reliable and secure by default, while minimizing cycle times.

Some of the key technologies we leverage include Docker (for code packaging and deployment), Kubernetes (for container orchestration), Ansible (for lightweight config management), and Terraform (to control our cloud infrastructure).
The Role
In this position you will be expected to:
-Have a mind for simplifying unnecessary complexity.
-Empathize with the people who use the systems you build.
-Excel at critical thinking and adapt to new situations.
-Anticipate future problems, without over-engineering the present.
-Share your expertise with others, but never stop learning new things.
We are looking for someone with:
-A depth of knowledge in at least one domain.
-Minimum of 2 years’ experience managing complex systems using software.
-Experience writing and maintaining software applications in languages such as Golang, Python, Ruby, Java, C#, JavaScript, C, C++, etc. (not just scripts, side projects ok).
-Available to work on-site within our San Francisco office, or work remotely on Pacific Standard Time hours.
-Familiarity with configuration management systems (e.g. Ansible, Puppet, Chef, Salt, Terraform, CloudFormation).
-Experience solving difficult problems with a scripting language (e.g. Bash, Ruby, Python) in a Linux environment.
Bonus points:
-Experience with container technology (Docker/cgroups/LXC/etc) and container orchestration (Kubernetes/Mesos/CloudFoundry/etc).
-Experience with major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc).
Life at DroneDeploy
We’re a team of star wars loving, hot sauce eating, tech enthusiasts with inspirational talents. Everyone is empowered to explore and implement new ideas and improvements. We enjoy our collaborative office environment and encourage each other to push boundaries. We host weekly Friday night BBQs on our rooftop deck, offer great salaries, generous equity,100% employee health coverage, unlimited vacation and delicious catered meals among other perks.
We’re changing the way people think about transportation. Not that long ago we were just an app to request premium black cars in a few metropolitan areas. Now we’re a part of the logistical fabric of more than 600 cities around the world. Whether it’s a ride, a sandwich, or a package, we use technology to give people what they want, when they want it.
For the people who drive with Uber, our app represents a flexible new way to earn money. For cities, we help strengthen local economies, improve access to transportation, and make streets safer.
And that’s just what we’re doing today. We’re thinking about the future, too. With teams working on new modalities, self-driving cars and even urban air transportation, we’re in for the long haul. We’re reimagining how people and things move from one place to the next.
As part of the Go team you’ll join a group of language experts solely focused on improving the quality, performance and stability of Go code across the company and the broader open-source community. You’ll work with some of the most talented, high-velocity engineering teams and ensure that the most pressing development problems are solved, and the solutions are reusable for engineers everywhere in the organization. The code you build and maintain will be at the heart of critical systems across Uber, from infrastructure to user-facing products and services. You’ll empower a large and quickly-growing engineering organization to do its best work and deliver high-quality products quickly. You’ll ensure that moving fast doesn’t mean sacrificing stability, quality, performance or maintainability. And along the way, you’ll get to shape the very future of engineering at Uber.
We need passionate, skilled developers who can think at both the code and organizational levels, engineers who care deeply about building systems and libraries the right way, who are eager to take on ownership of business-critical code, and who are opinionated and uncompromising in their pursuit of technical excellence.
Responsibilities
Design, develop and maintain world-class Go tools and packages.
Drive the development of Go standards, practices and education.
Build Uber’s Go open-source presence.
Design and build infrastructure to help teams measure and improve development velocity.
Work closely with engineers across the company to solve critical software development problems in principled and reusable ways.

Experience building reusable tools, packages and software patterns for developers.
Background in infrastructure and distributed systems.
Passion for software quality, including testing, code review, and documentation.
Desire to contribute to open source.

Job Description
What if owning things was no longer important? What if expensive, niche items could be available to you in seconds? And what if you could generate an extra income from your own belongings? At Fat Llama, we're already bringing about that future. We believe that one day, owning those things we only occasionally need will be as ridiculous as buying a house every time you want to go on holiday.
Our users enjoy on-demand access to anything from high-end cameras to drones to campervans. As a result, they're doing, creating and achieving incredible things every day. Income from rentals is changing the lives of many of our lenders, too - whether it's paying their rent or allowing them to drop corporate jobs and focus on passion projects.
The herd's growing fast, too. Last year we went through Y Combinator and recently announced a $10M raise from amazing investors to superpower our growth and focus on American growth.
Our Technology
Technology is at the heart of everything we do at Fat Llama, allowing us to solve a problem that has never been solved before. Our whole team gets a say in the product & tech roadmap, and our engineering team takes pride in writing, testing and deploying new features on a daily basis.
As an engineer at Fat Llama, you’ll be responsible for crafting, building and running the software which underpins our marketplace. We’re looking for somebody that can deliver solid engineering whilst moving at the same speed as our constantly growing business. You should also be excited about helping shape the direction and culture of our engineering team going forward.
Are you excited by the prospect of learning new technologies? In a rapidly changing and growing startup, you’ll be required to wear many different hats. Whether it be designing scalable systems, building tools to help our Operations team keep the business running, or slicing and dicing data for our analytics dashboards, you should welcome the challenge. You should thrive in a constantly changing environment and enjoy learning new things at a fast pace.
Our team takes pride in owning our work truly end-to-end. We’re looking for people who can plan, experiment, build, test, deploy, measure and iterate before calling it done. As a small team, we try and build on the shoulders of giants, which means that you’ll often find us working with the latest and greatest technologies.
You might be a good fit for the role if you:
Want to work in a team that values teamwork, learning and collaboration.
Love writing clean, elegant code that other people can read.
Have a deep understanding of at least two programming languages or paradigms.
Have experience mentoring and teaching other engineers.
Have led engineering projects from conception to delivery
Have expertise in designing and building web services or APIs.
Take pride in your fastidious approach to testing your code.
Have a real passion for user experience. Every. Llama. Counts.
We would be thrilled if you also had:
Experience building distributed systems or microservices.
Android, iOS or React Native work under your belt.
A deep understanding of JavaScript or Golang.
Experience working with and launching cloud based services.
If you don’t feel like you fit all of these areas, don’t worry. We are dedicated to the development of our team. Whether you’re a computer science graduate, an artist or a bricklayer, as long as you’re also a programmer, we’d love to hear from you.
Please note that the package for this role will include equity.
Applicants with less experience may want to consider applying for our software engineer role.
