Golang Fleet Jobs

Job Description

You enjoy writing code, but in the back of your mind you’re always wondering: what problem does this solve? Who will be using this software and how will this make their work easier? You are fascinated by how your software is used and how it can be improved. You like to dive into the end users’ workflows to make them as seamless as possible. Because it’s not just about the code, it’s about the results.

You’ve found that having a robust, automated test suite frees the team to take on refactoring efforts with confidence, knowing that the system you’ve built won’t let you deploy broken software even if you try. You believe that collaborating with others makes it so that everyone learns, you build a better product, and you can sleep at night and go on vacation with the assurance that what you’ve constructed is stable.

Through the technology this team develops and runs, we're making onboarding of security tech unexpectedly simple for customers. We're also empowering our customer success team to onboard and maintain the fleet of our customers’ security devices, while being fully transparent with our customers with what we’re doing.

If this sounds like you, then we believe you'll love our team, and we’d love to talk to you!

What Expel Can Do For You

• Give you complicated, real world problems on which to use your skills and experience
• Develop your expertise in current technologies like Kubernetes, Kafka, Postgres, EmberJS and Go
• Increase your exposure to the information security space and security products
• Experience a growing, highly open startup environment

What You Can Do For Expel

• Expand the core security device onboarding infrastructure our customers and analysts rely on 24 x 7
• Make sure our customer support staff have the tools that they need to fix problems with the array of customer security devices when they come up
• Enthusiastically reinforce our belief in good software engineering practice including code reviews and automated testing
• Add your viewpoint to our engineering culture (and especially this small team)
• Adapt to changes of direction because, hey, startup life!

What You Should Bring With You

• A desire and ability to constantly learn and improve yourself and your work products
• The ability to communicate and work effectively with others
• A track record of building maintainable systems in Linux environments
• Proficiency with at least one JavaScript framework (we use EmberJS but experience with another framework is valid)
• Proficiency with Go 
• Ideally: familiarity with cloud environments
• 3+ years of full-stack development experience

How We Run This Team

• We build and run teams where everyone is pulling in the same direction and is learning from each other:
• We work out of a shared backlog
• We peer-review everything
• We pair-program when it makes sense
• We do weekly blame-free retros to reinforce what’s going well, so we do more of it, and surface what’s not, so we can do something about it.

Additional Notes

At Expel, our employee benefits reflect our commitment to our crew. Unlimited PTO, equity for everyone, work location flexibility, up to 24 weeks of parental leave, and excellent health benefits are some of the ways we care for our Expletives.

Our headquarters is in Herndon, Virginia, however our team is fully remote, and we have full support for remote interaction. We realize that while there is benefit to in-person interaction, good people don’t all live in Northern Virginia.

We're only hiring those authorized to work in the United States.

We're an Equal Opportunity Employer: You will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, sex, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status, or on the basis of disability.

Job Description

Popsa is a design-led, engineering focussed company that uses machine learning to help people rediscover their best experiences and turn them into beautiful printed products.

We grew about 500% in 2018 and we’re now shipping over half a million photos a week to 50 countries around the world.

This position is a great opportunity for experienced software engineers with a background in the likes of Go, Python, PHP or Node.js looking to apply their existing skillset and learn and use Go in a production environment.

Our Platform Technology Stack

• Most of our backend code is written in Go with some Python and Node.js used where they're the right tool for the job.
• We’re entirely hosted on AWS and make extensive use of many of their services (over 30 at last count!)
• 15+ containerised microservices running in ECS (we’re open to exploring moving to Kubernetes in the future if appropriate). Our services talk protocol buffers over HTTP and are discovered with Consul.
• Dozens of event driven serverless functions running on Lambda, some running as APIs behind API Gateway and others as Step Functions
• Dockerised batch compute workflows
• NoSQL databases (predominantly DynamoDB and ElasticSearch)
• Serverless analytics data lake backed by S3 using Athena (PrestoDB)
• Terraform and Serverless Framework to manage our infrastructure as code

• You’re keen to learn more about and play around with new technologies
• What we’re doing here at Popsa excites you!

Desired skill set:

• Strong competency with a language such as Go or Python; the majority of the Platform backend is written in Go, but we’re flexible and you'll have the opportunity to learn on the job as well as making use of your existing skillset.
• You structure code for scalability, performance and testing
• Experience writing and consuming RESTful and RPC APIs; you'll be designing and building new APIs for our mobile and web clients and integrating with new partners and suppliers
• You know and appreciate automated testing
• Experience with Linux-based operating systems
• Experience with container technologies
• Production database experience, bonus points for experience with both SQL and NoSQL databases

Bonus:

• Experience of continuous integration and continuous deployment
