About Fuzzbuzz

We're Fuzzbuzz and we're building a fuzzing as a service platform that integrates into CI systems and the modern software testing workflow. Fuzzing is a type of automated testing that generates and runs thousands of inputs per second on your code to try and find bugs and vulnerabilities. It uses code coverage and other signals from your code to guide the tests it generates and runs. You can read more here.

Last year, we raised a $2.7M seed round from some of the best tech investors & founders, namely Y Combinator, Fuel Capital, Solomon Hykes (Docker founder), Flo Leibert (Mesosphere founder), Spencer Kimball (CockroachDB founder), Michael Stoppelman (Yelp ex-CTO).

About the Team

We're currently a team of 5 people and prefer staying small - allowing us to iterate faster and get very comfortable working with each other (the 3 founders have been roommates since first year university). That means you'll be 16% of the team - all of the work you do will be extremely critical and immediately impact users. We pride ourselves in being a very humble, but capable team - the 2 founding engineers each have 20+ years of engineering experience.

Since we are really small, we prefer having everyone working at the same location. We’re at 541 Jefferson Ave in Redwood City, CA - 10 mins from the Caltrain (everyone's currently WFH because of COVID-19. We will resume working from the office when it is safe).

Why Fuzzbuzz?

1. Define the DevOps and security standards of tomorrow

Fuzzing is seeing more widespread usage than ever before, but there is still work to be done before it sees mass adoption. We're uniquely positioned to bring fuzzing to the developer community and make software testing more effective than ever before.

2. Product-first culture with an emphasis on engineering

Working on a technical product means working with very technical people. We embrace technical challenges and take them head-on. We use tools/frameworks because they get the job done, not because they're the current flavor of the month.

3. Early stage, funded startup

By joining Fuzzbuzz at this critical early stage, as one of our first team members, you'll be shaping not only our product, but our company & engineering culture as well. We're well funded, and pay in the top 10% of companies in SF at our stage.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design, architect and build the Fuzzbuzz platform (frontend & API)
• Work with our designer to build a beautiful platform with a focus on simplicity
• Work with fuzzing team to integrate fuzzing tooling into the platform
• Work with founders to define product roadmap
• Define internal engineering standards, tooling and processes
• Work and iterate closely with users

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years experience as a full stack software engineer
• Solid understanding of Typescript
• Experience building complex SPAs in Angular or React (using TS)
• Experience with or willingness to learn Go
• Experience designing and building APIs
• Experience working with AWS
• Familiar with Linux
• Strong fundamentals in distributed systems design and development
• Obsession with users and providing real value to customers rather than working with “cool tech”
• Ability to navigate & take ownership of complex problems from design through to final implementation

Benefits

• Full health, dental & vision insurance
• Caltrain & Parking covered
• Unlimited, guilt-free PTO
• Flexible hours
• Ergonomic workstation (standing desk, Herman Miller chairs, custom monitor/laptop set up)

Job Description

We are looking for software engineers to continue developing and scaling our products and infrastructure.

The Project

Named by the World Economic Forum as one of the world's 30 Technology Pioneers 2016, Synthace is re-imagining how we work with biology, exponentially improving the speed and quality of the final results.

This is made possible through our revolutionary cloud based platform for designing biological experiments, simulating them, translating instructions for automated lab equipment, and visualising complex data sets from the results. All of this is done by Antha, which is already impacting how scientists work with biology in major companies like Dow, Merck and GSK.

Antha lowers the level of entry for scientists wanting to introduce automation to their work, while allowing specialist technicians to get even more out of the existing equipment in the labs. It is directly contributing to faster, more efficient research into hard to cure genetic diseases such as Cancer.

If knowing your work is having a positive impact on the world, it doesn't get much better than this.

You'll be working within a tight-knit, friendly and collaborative development team on exciting projects with plenty of technical challenges to get your teeth into.

You won't find any micro-management here - we're all about freedom, trust, enablement and personal ownership. We give you the space to solve complex problems, while offering support if/when needed.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, test, and maintain APIs and services
• Integrate and deploy custom and off-the-shelf software components
• Manage deadlines and priorities in a dynamic environment that blends software and wet-lab development
• Master our current technology stack which includes in different areas: Kubernetes, Go, Google Cloud, Azure, Docker, GraphQL

Requirements:

• BA/BS degree in computer science or equivalent work experience
• Experience with Unix development environments
• Working knowledge of common network protocols (HTTP, TLS, GRPC)
• Seriously well versed in any of the following programming languages: Go (ideally), Python, Java, C, and/or C++
• Working knowledge of HA and distributed systems
• Ability to deliver high quality software to a tight schedule
• Excellent communication skills are also a must in our fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment

Why join Synthace:

• Work with genuinely extraordinary people
• Open, collaborative, and friendly culture
• Challenging, groundbreaking and exciting work
• Chance to be a part of the 'fourth industrial revolution', helping us to create tools and systems that allow scientists to do things like cure Cancer faster!

Salary: £80k-120k depending on experience + equity options

Location: West London.

What if owning things was no longer important? What if expensive, niche items could be available to you in seconds? And what if you could generate an extra income from your own belongings? At Fat Llama, we're already bringing about that future. We believe that one day, owning those things we only occasionally need will be as ridiculous as buying a house every time you want to go on holiday.

Our users enjoy on-demand access to anything from high-end cameras to drones to campervans. As a result, they're doing, creating and achieving incredible things every day. Income from rentals is changing the lives of many of our lenders, too - whether it's paying their rent or allowing them to drop corporate jobs and focus on passion projects.

The herd's growing fast, too. Last year we went through Y Combinator and recently announced a $10M raise from amazing investors to superpower our growth and focus on American growth.

Our Technology

Technology is at the heart of everything we do at Fat Llama, allowing us to solve a problem that has never been solved before. Our whole team gets a say in the product & tech roadmap, and our engineering team takes pride in writing, testing and deploying new features on a daily basis.

As an engineer at Fat Llama, you’ll be responsible for crafting, building and running the software which underpins our marketplace. We’re looking for somebody that can deliver solid engineering whilst moving at the same speed as our constantly growing business. You should also be excited about helping shape the direction and culture of our engineering team going forward.

Are you excited by the prospect of learning new technologies? In a rapidly changing and growing startup, you’ll be required to wear many different hats. Whether it be designing scalable systems, building tools to help our Operations team keep the business running, or slicing and dicing data for our analytics dashboards, you should welcome the challenge. You should thrive in a constantly changing environment and enjoy learning new things at a fast pace.

Our team takes pride in owning our work truly end-to-end. We’re looking for people who can plan, experiment, build, test, deploy, measure and iterate before calling it done. As a small team, we try and build on the shoulders of giants, which means that you’ll often find us working with the latest and greatest technologies.

You might be a good fit for the role if you:

• Want to work in a team that values teamwork, learning and collaboration.
• Love writing clean, elegant code that other people can read.
• Have a deep understanding of at least two programming languages or paradigms.
• Have experience mentoring and teaching other engineers.
• Have led engineering projects from conception to delivery
• Have expertise in designing and building web services or APIs.
• Take pride in your fastidious approach to testing your code.
• Have a real passion for user experience. Every. Llama. Counts.

We would be thrilled if you also had:

• Experience building distributed systems or microservices.
• Android, iOS or React Native work under your belt.
• A deep understanding of JavaScript or Golang.
• Experience working with and launching cloud based services.

If you don’t feel like you fit all of these areas, don’t worry. We are dedicated to the development of our team. Whether you’re a computer science graduate, an artist or a bricklayer, as long as you’re also a programmer, we’d love to hear from you.

Please note that the package for this role will include equity.

Applicants with less experience may want to consider applying for our software engineer role.
