Golang Alternative Jobs

Job Description

Lana is a new project born out of Cabify's and Maxi Mobility's New Business department. The aim is to create an alternative banking platform optimised to empower "gig economy" workers to get paid more quickly, reliably, for saving and making payments. Lana is a small, dedicated, and highly skilled team focussed on building an awesome product with the potential to grow into a company that changes the lives of millions of people in Latin America who don't currently have access to electronic banking.

The New Business department and Lana are very closely joined with Cabify and Easy Taxi teams with the aim of adding value and investigating business areas that are directly or indirectly related to the core products.

If we’re going to turn our vision into a reality, we’re going to need plenty more bright, ambitious people to join us!

About the position:

As a senior engineer in the Lana Core Team, you will be working to solve complex problems in the services that empower the rest of the company to run. You'll be actively working with the CTO and other areas of the business so you can determine the direction development should move in.

Lana strives for a modular working environment where each module determines its own development pipeline, according to the general direction of the company and requirements of the customers.

Our current backend tech stack for this project consists of:

• Go
• Docker + Kubernetes
• CouchDB
• CockroachDB

We are looking for someone with previous experience working with Go (desirable), however if not we are still happy to consider your application. We believe that even if you have worked in Java or C# all your life you can still pick up Go pretty quickly. For us it is more important to have someone who is adaptable and can pick up languages quickly.

Security is a major concern for this project, so decisions on how best to isolate, restrict, and monitor access to services and solutions will be a big challenge.

What we’re looking for:

We’re searching for engineers with a solid understanding of how to deal with building secure, reliable, and scaleable solutions. Your objective will be to build upon the existing core services to ensure that the other areas of the company can also develop solutions in their problem domains.

This is a hands-on role in a new project within the group, so it's a great opportunity to make your mark from the very beginning. Your decisions will affect how the company moves in the future.

We'll be looking for most of the following in your profile:

• Strong educational background, e.g Degree in Computer Science, Physics, Engineering, Mathematics, or equivalent
• Ability to communicate with the team in English (written and spoken)
• Unix/Linux systems knowledge
• A background in security and a deep understanding of the potential risks.
• Fintech, Payments, and PCI experience very highly valued.
• Real-time distributed systems deployment.
• A preference for simple system architectures and micro-services, including experience in technologies like Docker.
• Advanced networking knowledge.
• Ability to work autonomously in an unstructured environment.
• Passion for writing simple, clean and efficient code and/or solutions.
• Comfortable with complex git/github workflows (submodules, branches, forks, pull requests, merging, rebasing)

The good stuff:

As part of the Maxi Mobility group, which includes Cabify, we’re a company full of happy, motivated people and we never want that to change. Here are some more reasons why it rocks to be part of our family.

• Flexible work environment & hours
• Regular fun team events
• Cabify staff discount
• Personal development programmes
• All the gear you need - just bring yourself.

Job Description

Paxos' mission is to modernize finance by mobilizing assets at the speed of the internet. Paxos is building a future where all assets--from money to commodities to securities--will be digitized and move instantaneously, 24/7. Settlement risk will cease to exist, so trillions of dollars of trapped capital can go to work in a global, frictionless economy. (Check out our Twitter feed for the latest news and information.)

Our Products include:

• Paxos Standard (PAX) is a digital dollar and the world’s first regulated crypto asset. This stablecoin is backed 1:1 by dollars and offers a liquid, digital alternative to cash that is available 24/7 for instantaneous transaction settlement around the world. Launched in September 2018, it’s the most traded USD-backed stablecoin.
• itBit is a crypto-asset exchange. We also offer related trading services including escrow, custody and OTC trading.
• Post-Trade: Based in London, our Post-Trade team works on a broad suite of products to simplify post-trade confirmations for precious metals, other commodities and FX markets. The team launched Paxos Confirmation Service in late 2018 and has already confirmed well over 100,000 trades with aggregate notional values in the hundreds of billions of dollars.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our rapidly growing FinTech company. This is the opportunity to be part of a fast-paced, small, and flat organization responsible for developing our exciting cutting-edge products from design to production, as well as overseeing multiple projects from end-to-end. If you’re looking for an opportunity to directly see your work impact the business and our clients on a global scale, then this is a great role for you!

Who You Are:

• You are a rock solid engineer who is master of at least one domain. This could be a functional domain like Securities or Precious Metals or a technical domain like Distributed Systems, Cryptography, Databases, AWS, etc.
• You demonstrate a solid understanding of core engineering concepts. Strong understanding of Data Structures and Algorithms
• You are able to understand and articulate the design and architecture of the entire system.
• You embody our culture and values
• You feel comfortable working in a tech-driven environment with the ability to coordinate across several stakeholder groups (Engineering, Operations, Marketing, HR, etc.)

What You’ll Do:

• You will produce a work output by taking a complex user story, breaking it down into sub-tasks, and completing the sub-tasks with relative ease – own design, coding, testing all the way through deployment of each of those sub-tasks.
• You will identify and proactively tackle technical debt before it grows into something that requires significant up-front work to resolve. A rule of thumb is to start looking into root cause of issues whenever there is noise. There is no smoke without fire.
• You will strike the right balance between fixing the problem at hand and focusing on finding the root cause of problem. For example, if it’s a production issue the priority is to fix the immediate problem and collect all the data necessary for root cause analysis. In a non-production environment, the focus should be on finding the root cause and fixing it the right way to make sure the problem doesn’t occur again.
• You will be actively involved with and mentor junior engineers doing code reviews resulting in up leveling the skill sets for the entire team

What you will be doing:

• Design, build, and operate the observability stack of large-scale data infrastructure systems from the early stage
• Improve the stack, dive into new technologies and figure out how best to monitor them
• Provide easy ways to understand the state of the services at a given point in time, including the ability to trace requests across multiple services
• Work with development teams in an advisory capacity to optimize usage of monitoring and logging tools: what to log, measure and alert, which metrics and events are important and why through guidance, documentation and internal discussion
• Write well-crafted, well-tested, readable, maintainable code

• You enjoy thinking about how to make life simpler for other engineers

The experience we are looking for:

• Designing, implementing and debugging large-scale data infrastructure systems, and identifying their performance bottlenecks
• Understanding of long-term impacts of key design decisions and handling failure scenarios
• Experience in Go is a big plus, but not strictly required and experience with a similar backend language would suffice. Our team can teach you and get you up to speed
• Monitoring and operating open source software in production at scale e.g. Kafka, Kubernetes, Docker
• Operating telemetry tools, e.g. the ELK stack, Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, Istio and others
• Not everything listed is required and not everything required is listed. If you have skills that are not listed but you think will contribute to your performance let us know!

What we offer:

• The chance to be be part of a growing team of with plenty of room to leave your mark and impact company strategy and growth
• Fun, creative and focused teams committed to learning and problem-solving through collaboration
• Competitive salary and, if required, visa sponsorship and a relocation package
• Office located in the heart of Berlin with teammates from around the world
• Time to work on projects that are not in the scope of the sprint, standing desks, team events and a weekly company dinner
• An environment in which you can balance great work with a great life

We value ownership and innovation, and we build our teams with that in mind. We want each team to be responsible and accountable for what they ship. We also don't want to reinvent the wheel every time, so we try to get alignment in terms of practices and technologies. Our philosophy to achieve this is relying on excellent tooling and automation over policies and processes.

We know that diverse teams are strong teams, and welcome those with alternative identities, backgrounds, and experiences from all over the world. We’re a team of technically curious problem solvers. Come and join us.

We are looking forward to receiving your application!
