Senior Backend Engineer Plexy Remote (Americas) $100,000 to $135,000 a year
February 2022
1 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old
Job Description
Our mission is to help software teams get more done. Over the past decade there has been an explosion of specialized tooling in the enterprise. It’s putting the burden on each of us to jump between different apps and tabs to get our work done and at the end of the day we’re wasting valuable time. We believe there is a better way. Our ambition is bold: build the best platform for software teams to get their work done.
We’re just getting started and are looking to grow the team to help us accomplish our mission. We love what we do and are motivated by working on a product that we enjoy using ourselves. You would have an immediate impact as a builder and user influencing product. You would join the early team as a founding engineer and have full ownership working closely with our founders. Come join us!
Who we’re looking for
We are looking for a full-time backend engineer. Our ideal candidate has 5+ years of experience building event driven micro-services or service oriented architectures and has built most facets, if not all, in a twelve-factor app. Preference is for real experience (2+ years) in our primary language of Golang, but other languages are considered when able to quickly pick up new technologies. Additional experience in integrating with 3rd party systems, event-driven architecture, databases, and cloud services (AWS, GCP, etc) are important.
You will directly influence how and what to build, and must be comfortable collaborating on the architecture, code, product, etc as we have a strong culture of devops as well as being technically curious, thoughtful and purposeful in what we build. We value deploying frequently with well-written, maintainable, instrumented and tested code to a kubernetes cluster.
**Responsibilities: **
* Develop new products and features in a small team
* Collaboration with the team to solve technical problems and help shape the product direction
* Provide technical input and knowledge to the planning, design, and requirements process for new products and features
* Review other software engineers' code for correctness, style, and completeness
* Support your team's production software by responding to an occasional alert or bug report
* Write integration tests and work with our product team to ensure the operation and correctness of new features
Requirements:
* 5+ years of backend engineering in a distributed systems
* 2+ years in Golang or 5+ using several languages you were able to quickly pick up
* Strong knowledge of a variety of database systems (Graph, relational etc.)
* Experience working with 3rd party APIs and OAuth
* Comfortable with strong dev ops culture
* Strong communication skills in English and experience working as part of a remote team
* Need to be located in timezones UTC-4 through UTC-8 (The Americas)
* Excited to travel internationally for company retreats (twice a year)
* Favorite Ted Lasso quote
Who Are We?
We love what we do: designing and building great products. But our work isn't the only thing that defines us. We're not trying to create some semi-cult to get people to work here. We simply enjoy working together and building useful and beautiful software for our customers. We’re a venture-backed, pre-launch startup and are looking for someone who is excited about this stage of building a product and having a real impact on the company’s success.
You would join a group of repeat founders. We have founded and worked at startups that raised a bunch of money from top VCs. While that has its advantages (hire lots of amazing people, spend money on ads and cool perks…) it also puts a company on a very narrow success path. It's very binary, since venture investors have a binary return profile (they succeed if their investments sell for billions). So we decided to do it a little differently this time. Where growth isn't the only goal of a company. Where it's balanced with the goal of being default-alive and capital-efficient which leaves doors open and avoids the trap of forced binary outcomes.

This job posting is no longer available
Job Description
tl;dr: We're looking for an excellent engineer with solid Go experience to join our small, distributed development team. We're in Los Angeles, San Francisco & Paris; substantial time-zone overlap with CET (Paris) is key because our lead frontend engineer lives & works there.
Who we are
At Synthro, we are creating Foam, a new paradigm to collect, organize, create, and share your data, to help people think better together.
While we have developed core elements of the experience, we have many technical challenges ahead. Our team collaborates and leverages process, automated testing and group decision-making to get stuff done.
Our technology environment is Linux based, runs in AWS and utilizes Go, React, and JavaScript. We are leveraging an array of AWS services to deliver our solution and extensively take advantage of open-source solutions.
We're in the scrappy startup phase: we all work from home, even before the pandemic.
Role overview
We're hiring a Backend Developer to work with our team. You will focus on the backend for our web app. You will work closely with our frontend developer and be responsible for the API, data models, architecture, and AWS environment.
We love junior developers, but this role is for someone senior.
About you
Here's how to tell if you'd be a good fit for this job.
Must-haves
You've built and shipped Go services (RESTful, HTTP), preferably something you can share with us
You dream in idiomatic Go (2+ years experience highly desired)
You don’t feel like you’re done until you have 85% unit test coverage
You have solid knowledge of Postgres, specifically stored procedures & triggers
You have solid working knowledge of core AWS services (ECS, EC2, RDS, S3, Cloudfront, Route 53)
Your git history reflects you’re an excellent written (and verbal) communicator
Nice-to-haves
You have worked from home or remotely for a distributed team
You have experience with infrastructure-as-code (we use Terraform on AWS)
You live in or within an hour of CET (Paris)
Why you might want to work with us
We're small, so there are no layers of bureaucracy to work through. You can have a huge impact here.
We have as few meetings as we can get away with.
You can work remotely as long as you have substantial overlap with our primary time zones, Pacific and Central European. We call these “office” hours.
Outside of “office” hours, you can work whenever you like.
Why you might not want to work with us
We’re a startup, with all the good and bad that comes with that.
We’re a small team. At the end of the day, you need to be able to solve your own problems.
You own the infrastructure so you need to deal with it when it breaks.
Pay
We're looking for someone great, not someone cheap. If you're expensive but amazing, we can probably make it work.
