Job Description
Our Vision
Cluster is a mission-driven company working to expand the middle class in America by connecting skilled talent to premium industrial and manufacturing jobs. The future of U.S. Industry is bright. Advanced manufacturing is creating demand for high-paying jobs that require advanced technical and engineering skills, while the retirement of millions of baby boomers is creating a shortage of skilled talent. We believe that making it easier for people to get connected to meaningful and solid manufacturing jobs helps entice companies to create great products in the U.S. and builds a stronger economy.

At Cluster, every employee has a voice, and we work together closely to drive toward tough but rewarding achievements.
It’s important to us that we have high alignment between Cluster’s business, user and technical goals. Everyone here is responsible for making sure we don’t just code things right, but that we also code the right things. We judge our success by our customers’ success.

Our Core Values 💛
We Care. We Perform. We Evolve.
Your Impact 💥
As we have reached the scaleup phase at HousingAnywhere, our rapid growth has brought on new challenges. We are rethinking the platform architecture to meet imminent growth needs. You will have the opportunities to bring in your ideas in the context of microservices, stream processing, API, security and data integrity.
At platform we are shaping the vision for the future architecture of HousingAnywhere. You will help other teams to build new features on top of our architecture, and make sure that concerns like reliability, security, privacy and performances are met.
We are pragmatic developers, and often we need to think out of the box to solve tricky technical challenges. Technology hypes inspire our work and give us ideas, but we realize that the context in which we build our solutions is what matters most. You will help us consider the challenges we face when adopting new technologies or techniques.
You will help your colleagues and your leaders to solve problems and move faster, as well as they will do with you.
Our mission as the platform team
As a Software Engineer for the Platform Team, you will be joining the team responsible for the backend logic of HousingAnywhere’s marketplace, and for standardizing the way our partners integrate with our platform.
Our team is here to provide HousingAnywhere with a scalable composable architecture that allows the organization to scale the business and teams on top of it.
We achieve our goals by:
developing the technical vision and standards on the platform that accommodate the needs of the housing rental market for the next 10 years
developing the standards for the exchange of information between systems in the accommodation rental market.
Let's work together on the following
We are currently refactoring the monolith in context boundaries using Domain Driven Design techniques. Our goal is to come to an architecture that will allow us to break the monolith in microservices and break dependencies with the database.
We are working on bootstrapping our journey to let partners integrate with our platform. We are defining and implementing the architecture that can integrate seamlessly the variegated technologies the industry uses.
We are rethinking our approach to CI, and simplifying our suites of tests.
We already extracted frontend as a service from the backend monolith, but the code still leaves in one repository. We want to gain independence by extracting backend code from frontend code and have separate deployment pipelines.
We are working closely with the operations team to move our services to kubernetes. We are currently sending a small percentage of traffic to the cluster and are facing some performance issues. We are investigating possible next moves to fully work on the cluster.
We are creating an internal RFC to plan how to move towards an event driven architecture by introducing Kafka. We are researching impacts, costs and value that we get by getting into such a path.
And our stack?
Go
Postgres
Redis
NSQ
Docker
Kubernetes
Github
Google Cloud Platform
GRPC/Protobuf

Make independent decisions, prioritize what to build, and execute. We want you to own the whole toolchain, discuss our business needs with department heads and empower others to build the next generation of our marketing tools!
We deliver what we set out to deliver, and you will drive our future growth.

Job Description
We're building a unified developer experience to help software teams move faster and stay focused on achieving their goals. Over the past decades, software development has grown in importance inside organizations and with it there has been a Cambrian explosion of tooling. While each tool is great at what it does, they live in their own silos and weren’t built to work together. These silos lead to disconnected workflows, context switching, and difficulty finding information. Our vision is to build a better way to get work done. Summon brings together your tools and data into one blazingly fast, native experience. We’re just getting started and our ambition is bold: build the best platform for software teams to get their work done.
We love what we do and are motivated by working on a product we love using ourselves. You would have an immediate impact as a builder to influence engineering and the direction of the product. You join as a founding engineer and have full ownership working closely with our founders and a team of super talented developers.
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 microservices 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
Why join us?
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 startup and are looking for someone who is excited about the early stages of building a product and having a tangible impact on the company’s success.
You would join a group of repeat founders. We have founded startups backed by top Silicon Valley VCs. While getting huge amounts of venture capital has its advantages, it also puts a company on a very narrow success path. We want to do it a little differently this time. Where raising money and growth is balanced with the goal of being default-alive and capital-efficient. Which gives us optionality and lets us build the company we want to build over the long run.
We are on a mission to simplify Kubernetes & its Cost Management on the cloud.
There are lots of aspects to our vision such as performance, security, and resiliency to name a few. Our product must be easy to understand and create value seamlessly. Our motto: Less friction equals happier customers.
CAST AI already brings 50% to 75% cloud savings to the most popular managed K8s platforms (such as EKS, GKE, and others). Imagine the challenges we face on a typical customer cluster with a $100k monthly bill.
This is just the beginning of our product. There are so many cool things to be done. We need smart, result-driven engineers to help us with that!
What’s in this position?
Autoscaler team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to expand its rapidly growing team.
At autoscaler team, our day is usually full of challenges. Have you ever encountered the situation where you need to expand your cloud infrastructure, in order for certain workloads to be deployed, and once the demand is low, to cut back on your cloud spendings? Most of us probably did, or at least know the many paths that need to be taken in order to achieve that.
One of the team's responsibilities is to make sure that whenever a customer is about to deploy something the burden of making sure that things are running & not costing unnecessary money is uplifted from them. These are just couple small pieces of a bigger puzzle. To get into a more detailed perspective, try to answer the following questions:
What happens when the demand for resources decreases? What should we do?
What kind of instance types to use (spot vs on-demand)?
What to do when cloud provider claims all of the spot instances back? Can we predict that?
What is the most efficient way to handle all of the workloads while taking into account both cost & efficiency metrics?
What is the visibility of all of the decisions that our engine is taking to both our customers and us?
These are just several of the many questions that are part of the daily job when working in this team.
Being part of this team would involve design and decision-making end-to-end while collaborating with colleagues from other teams. CAST AI being a technical product, it is encouraged, not only to go and code something as written in the JIRA ticket but also to come up with new features & potential solutions to the problems that customers are facing.
Here are some of the tools we use daily:
GoLang is our main language, while Python is an accepted alternative for some of the cases.
Kubernetes which our product is evolving around.
AWS, GCP and Azure cloud providers, which are currently supported in our platform.
PostgreSQL and Cloud Object Storage for persistence.
NATS and Pub/Sub for messaging.
gRPC for internal communication.
REST for public APIs.
We use GitLab CI with ArgoCD as our GitOps CD engine.
Prometheus, Grafana, Loki and Tempo for observability.
What’s in it for you?
Team of highly skilled professionals to work with and learn from.
Impact and visibility. We’re still a relatively small company, every contribution counts.
Flat hierarchy. Getting in touch with the CEO, CTO, and all the other people from CAST AI team is not only possible but encouraged.
Short feedback loop. We are customer-oriented so that we ship our code changes fast in order to get customer feedback right away.
Flexible working location and hours.
Monthly salary from €4500 to €8000 (gross) depending on the level of experience.
Skin in the game. Every engineering member gets stock options of the company.
Focus time: minimum overhead of meetings, bureaucracy &, etc.

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.

Job Description
About Strings
Our mission is to elevate the craft of content designers and UX writers so they can do what they do best: help organizations build better products through content. Our goal is to give writers direct ownership and control of their work, reduce dependencies, and minimize developers' time managing copy.
About You
We are looking for our first full-time backend engineer to join us on our mission. You'll have ownership in building new products and features while working with our founding team.
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 schema design, relational databases, search engines, cloud services (AWS, GCP, etc), message systems, and API design are considered.
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
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
Improve the performance, maintainability, and operations of the code base by engaging in occasional refactoring and upgrade projects
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
Required Qualifications:
5+ years of backend engineering in a distributed system,
2+ years in Golang or 5+ using several languages you were able to quickly pick up
