Job Description

Coder is looking for a senior software engineer to join our growing team. We are dedicated to keeping developers in flow — removing the obstacles that prevent them from writing code at the speed of thought. We have amazing core technology and are always striving to make it better. Keep reading if you are as passionate about developer workflows and open-source software as we are.

You will work with Golang, Kubernetes, Typescript, React, and many advanced technologies to build the cloud developer workspace of the future.

About you

• You’ve worked as a software engineer for at least five years (including relevant internships)

• You're skilled in languages and technologies for systems-level engineering, e.g. C/C++, Rust, and Golang (especially but not necessarily). You are skilled in front-end technologies such as Typescript or React.

• You care deeply about your craft. We build to last. Our customers deploy our software on-premises, so we want to make sure we get things right the first time. And we’re going to build a SaaS product, so automated testing will be essential for continuous delivery.

• You want to work in a startup where your job isn’t just writing code but helping make the whole company successful

• You want to have a major impact and grow as a professional in an opportunity-rich, supportive environment

While not necessary, we’ll be even more excited if you have:

• Know the Go programming language

• Have worked on enterprise applications, developer tools, or on-premises software

• Like connecting directly with customers

• Have experience with infrastructure technologies like Kubernetes, Nomad, and EC2

Interview Process

We believe that the interview process should be consistent and enjoyable. We prefer the entire process to take no more than two full weeks. During these two weeks, you will be able to meet a mix of individual contributors, managers, and one of our Co-Founders. If you interview for a position requiring a take-home assessment, we will compensate you for your work and time.

Our Values

Harness Your Inner Geek 🤓

Be who you are, use your unique talents to solve the problems you see, shout out your colleagues’ contributions and abilities, and be transparent and driven about what motivates you to do your best work here at Coder.

Be Bold and Show Your Work 💥

We’re going to fail sometimes, and that’s how we get better. Risks are a path to innovation, so we value bold, informed, fast-paced experimentation. And we also want you to communicate when it works – or when it doesn’t – so that we all can learn from each other.

Take Action with Ownership 🤝

Don’t wait for someone to give you permission to get things done. At Coder, we find leverage quickly and generate outcomes while staying lean. We don’t want you to “stay in your lane” - we want you to get curious, go after problems, and ship smart solutions together with your teammates. If you pick something up, take it to the finish line.

Don’t F$#k Your Team 🏆

We love what we do and work to achieve success together. We all win when we pitch in. We have fun and keep our goal in mind: to build a product that solves our users’ problems better than anything else. That means we jump in to help, make time for our teammates, and share our ideas so everyone can benefit.

Have Empathy for Our Users 🌏

We’re an open-core company, and we value user input, intensive collaboration, and empathy for our customers — from the biggest enterprises to the individual developers using our product to code faster and with less friction.

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer

All qualified applicants will receive consideration without discrimination because of sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, marital status, race, color, age, national origin, military status, religion, or disability or any other legally protected status.

Job Description

Golang/Rust/Postgres Developer for Algorithmic Trading Company (Zurich)

• This is not a typical company. You will be working with one other developer who will also be managing you and reviewing your code at the moment. That is me.
• I am based in Switzerland though I am an American.
• I want to reduce tasks to simple, well defined programs (where possible which is most places)
• There are many aspects of an automated trading system that need to recur (e.g. ingestion of historical market data). If these "aspects" are broken down into many small parts, if one has a problem the others will still be running so most of the other programs can continue. If there are say 3 large programs and one fails, then the whole system must stop.
• I am a developer myself so understand how to convey engineering requirements.
• I am flexible about software language, to an extent. I am learning Rust so if a small program can be written in Rust I am open to it. I also want to learn other programming languages over time. So if you are into Clojure or Haskell it could be interesting to wade into those waters over time
• Strong analytical and problem skills are a huge plus
• Massive bonus points if you know Python/Matplotlib – data analysis stuff

Here's the standard jobbledygook stuff: Job Description: This algorithmic trading company seeking a skilled Golang Developer to join our company. The ideal candidate will have a strong knowledge of Golang, Postgresql, and working with Linux, as well as a strong ability to work independently, remotely. Great if you like Rust and want to code in it too

Responsibilities: 1. Develop, maintain, and optimize scalable and secure backend services using Golang for our algorithmic trading platform 2. Write numerous microservices that repeatedly update various aspects of our trading system 3. Troubleshoot and debug production issues as they arise

Requirements: 1. Proficiency in Golang, with a strong emphasis on writing clean, efficient, and maintainable code 2. Experience working with Postgresql, including database design, performance tuning, and optimization in a trading context 3. Familiarity with Linux and working in a command-line environment 4. Strong problem-solving and communication skills 5.

Location and Compensation: This is a full-time mostly in-person position (being in an office is required most days of the week) based in Zürich. The salary for this position ranges from 80,000-110,000CHF per year, depending on experience and qualifications.

The language is English. You must be fluent or near fluent in English. If you meet these requirements and are interested in this position, please submit your application along with your CV and cover letter. We are excited to hear from you and discuss how your skills can contribute to our development team.

Job Description

Ambassador Labs (formerly Datawire), the cloud native developer experience leader, enables developers to code, ship, and run applications faster and easier than ever. Maker of top Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) open source projects, including Emissary-ingress and Telepresence, Ambassador Labs delivers a developer control plane for Kubernetes that integrates the development, deployment, and production infrastructure for developers and organizations worldwide including Microsoft, PTC, NVidia, and Ticketmaster. Ambassador Labs is backed by top investors including Insight Partners, Matrix Partners, Trinity Ventures, and Four Rivers Group.

We are looking to hire engineers that care as much about empowering developers as we do and have embraced the cloud native phenomenon that is taking over the world. We strongly believe that Ambassador Labs’ success is dependent on hiring a diverse team. Diversity means a broader spectrum of opinions, ways of working and approaches to solving problems; we feel it is critical to helping drive the creativity, innovation and sound decision-making our customers love us for!

About the Job

As an engineer at Ambassador Labs, you will be working on products aimed at drastically improving the way cloud native developers work. Your impact will be felt by thousands of users at companies like Epic Games, Microsoft, PTC, Ticketmaster, Cisco and Unity Technologies. This is a rare opportunity to join a growing team of smart and empathetic software engineers. The role is focused primarily on development of new products and services.

We have loosely adopted Basecamp’s Shape-Up approach to development by undertaking well-shaped projects in six-week cycles. As a team, our focus is firmly on products that help users make the shift to the cloud with Kubernetes, front and center.

Here’s a bit more insight into what your work life will be like as an engineer on the Edge Stack team at Ambassador Labs:

• Our products comprise multiple services and those services are written in various languages (the best language for that particular task), but as a member of the Edge Stack team you’ll work primarily in Golang and Python.
• You’ll work on Linux or Mac: some of us work on one platform, some on the other, each choosing whichever platform makes us the most productive.
• You’ll also use your favorite IDE or editor; although we use different ones, we’re oddly free of those silly “mine is the best” discussions :).
• You’ll work on our API gateway and ingress products on a distributed team building a feature, or reviewing open source community PRs, or improving performance, etc., in six-week development cycles, and then you’ll cool down between cycles doing self-directed learning, improving your tools, or maybe even hacking up a demo of an exciting new idea of yours.
• You and your team will use GitHub issues and Notion or GitHub Projects to track and plan your work, Markdown for documentation, GitHub Actions for continuous integration, Docker Hub and GCR for the resulting images, and of course Slack and Zoom. You’ll have a weekly all-company (Zoom) meeting to stay current on all the things, but we try hard to minimize the number of scheduled meetings in order to maximize focus time.
• Note that on-call responsibility is shared among all engineers in the organization, currently one week every three months.

About You

You are an engineer who enjoys developing products and you consider yourself a networking and distributed systems aficionado. At the core, you are motivated by figuring out ways for developers (your people!) to own their work through the power of microservices and Kubernetes. You’re driven by understanding customers and their problems. You move with purposeful action and, most importantly, you pride yourself on execution.

We’re looking for candidates with a strong track record of putting Golang and Python to use to bring products to life. You’ve already had some direct exposure to Kubernetes and have a passion for creating WOW experiences while at the same time making continuous improvements. Have a great idea? Act on it! You don’t have to go through layers of bureaucracy to get things done at Ambassador Labs (first of all because that’s against our philosophy, and secondly because we don’t have layers of bureaucracy!).

Ambassador Labs is a remote-friendly company with “pods” in Boston, Portland and Montreal. Our pods are a way of bridging the gap between being 100% remote and working in an office. Eventually, when it is safe to do so, we will have physical offices in each of these locations for team members to go to on a part-time basis to fuel their creativity through brainstorming and watercooler conversations. This is our way of creating the best of both worlds. For now, everyone is 100% remote.

How to Apply

We are looking forward to hearing from you. We move quickly and decisively. We don’t need to talk to 20 other candidates to make a decision, so if the fit feels right on both sides, you can be part of the team as soon as next week! The first step is speaking to our People Person, followed by the engineering leadership, and then a few of your future colleagues/team members. Interviews are typically 30 - 45 minutes, all remote. We’ll talk through your background, your approach to work, and dive into your technical knowledge. No algorithms, no off-the-cuff coding sessions, or brainteasers: we want to hear about your real-life experience and successes, especially the users that you’ve made happy.

This is a demanding application process and a significant career move that’s well worth considering. We appreciate you giving us that consideration, and we promise to give you our full attention in return. Talk to you soon!
