Comnoco is a young SaaS company with an enterprise grade product. We’ve built (in Go) a way to program backends without writing code. Users can create APIs and functions as a service as well as visually build amazing PDFs and other communications.
We’re looking for an experienced Golang developer to join us on this journey and be a part of our core early team.
Our high-level tech stack is Go, speaking gRPC between microservices and gRPC-web to our frontend which is written in Typescript and Vue. PostgreSQL, Bolt & Minio cover storage and the Ory.sh stack covers everything identity & Auth.
For deployment we’re looking to implement Infrastructure as Code (probably Pulumi) on Kubernetes (on one of the usual cloud platforms; AWS, Google Cloud, Azure etc).
If you’re into the same/similar tech stack this could be for you. We aren’t mandating minimum experience, we know it’s about your ability and interest not necessarily the years served.
A significant portion of the development has been done, we need someone to join our existing friendly team and help us build on this foundation.
This is a fun project, and we believe you’d be hard pushed to find another one as interesting or with the same opportunity for professional development.
We value honesty, kindness, fun, collaboration and people who love tech. 🤓
We’re an equal opportunity employer and have always had a diverse team.
The role is full time and fully remote (even post Covid) but you need to be UK based and eligible to work in the UK.
