We're a bunch of independent thinkers, always looking to challenge each other and get better at what we do.

Our mission is to get every traveller in the world the best accommodation deal. From adventure and backpacking to honeymoons and family vacations, we give travellers access to all the information and the available offers for their accommodation of choice. We're a passionate and diverse team of amazing humans who value and respect each other. We're spread between our HQ in Amsterdam and the countries our remote folks work from. We're growing fast!

• One quarter in, you will be effectively an active member of your squad and your teammates will fully count on you; you will have built meaningful relationships within the company and be comfortable discussing ideas, inside and outside of your squad's scope; ideally, you will have presented a topic you are fond of in one of our internal knowledge sharing sessions and/or demoed some work the team did during our weekly all-hands meeting

Typical day activities

• Team sessions (with your fellow engineers and PO) to check data and brainstorm ways to improve several services performance and design scalable solutions
• Solve open issues that affect component infrastructure reliability
• Propose and discuss with fellow engineers efficient solutions for components and architectural design.

Requirements: Who we're looking for

• You are used to work and think outside of the box, and not afraid to present unconventional ideas and solutions.
• You have at least 6 years experience in back-end development using a modern set up and tooling
• You have a great understanding of APIs, databases, data structures, queues, and all things back-end, with a strong passion for automation
• You have worked on a production system that was exposed to significant scale (whether traffic or amount of data) and you are excited by these kinds of challenges
• You have a sense of pragmatism, constantly finding the right balance between achieving technical excellence and delivering value to the end users
• You are flexible, curious, and data-guided in helping us decide what to work on next
• You engage with your team and all the engineering group actively, sharing knowledge and best practices in order to improve with them every day
• You have production experience working with AWS and you have taken care of CI / deployments / infrastructure in the past

• A growing Remote culture where you have a chance to deeply influence the way we work with each other.
• A competitive compensation package and Stock Appreciation Rights.
• Flexible time off (take as many holidays as you need) and a chance to work remotely - we measure results, not time spent at keyboard.
• Annual company retreat in some great location - check out our Mallorca trip in 2019

This position is Remote within UTC +/- 3

Have you ever tried to monitor your infrastructure? We have, and our experience using multiple monitoring SaaS products drove us to build Watchly - a monitoring solution that transforms the way you monitor your products and makes life better for engineers. No more waking up at 2 am and correlating incident data from three different websites, no more ugly & confusing charts and logs, no more maintaining 3 different agents on each VM. One system to rule them all.

At Axiom we are transforming the self-hosted software experience, building a product suite that encapsulates everything a business needs while ensuring a high-quality experience. Our focus on ease of use, security, and privacy ensures our customers get all the benefits of traditional SaaS products, right inside their infrastructure.

**About the Engineering Team ** Engineers at every level directly impact improvements across the product, from feature scoping through design to end polish. Building an outstanding experience for each of these user flows is made more complex by our goal of creating what is best for customers - rather than what is easiest to deploy.

**About the Role **

As a software engineer at Axiom, your breadth of skills paired with our bottom-up product process will give you as much autonomy and license as you can handle. If you can build it and it’s good for the company, do it! There's no limit to how valuable you can be or how much impact you can make here. We’re looking for people who want to make a mark on the world—who have the ambition to dream big and the talent to bring those dreams to fruition.

Responsibilities

Explore new systems, and processes while also being able to discuss when (or when not) to use them. Help further design and implement our distinct homegrown time-series database from an architectural and engineering viewpoint. With a focus on performance and stability take our time-series database to the next level Participate in a culture that values thoughtful code reviews, and frequent deploys. Must-Have Qualifications

• Possess a deep understanding of software architecture, design, and testing
• Comfortable around Database fundamentals such as:
• (Probabilistic) Data Structures
• Big O notation
• File systems
• SQL processing
• Distributed systems
• Concurrency control
• Data replication & Consensus Algorithms
• Caching
• Be proficient with golang, shell scripting
• Familiarity with unix systems

**Nice-to-Have Qualifications ** * Be familiar with, and comfortable contributing to, robust backend tooling to support our growing team. * Understand the ins-and-outs of debugging cloud systems, and, have in-depth experience with tuning performance for massive datasets * Experience writing documentation and tests, appreciating their importance to the team and product * Open source contributions, projects, and working with communities

**More About Us ** The team at Axiom has been fortunate to work together for many years across multiple companies and multiple products.

Throughout our journey, we would come across services that we wanted to use for monitoring/data visualization/etc, and we would always have a tough choice to make: hand over our data to a third party to get a fully featured product, or use a half-baked solution that could run inside our infrastructure and allow us to keep our data safely in our hands.

When the previous company we worked for was acquired by Microsoft, we decided to take that opportunity to work on this problem. We decided to build polished, featureful, and easy to use products which didn’t sacrifice privacy and security.

The result is Axiom.
