Armakuni empower our clients to take ideas to production in weeks, not months. Our Engineering Consultants act as change catalysts, enabling teams to leverage development best practices to fully optimise their cloud journeys.
Best practice. What does this actually mean? What’s “best” for one company doesn’t always work for others, right? Well, not quite. Research has shown that there are certain practices that lead to happier, more productive development teams and environments, and it’s these that we are positively evangelistic about here at Armakuni. We combine the practices of Software Craftsmanship, Agile/Lean, DevOps, Cloud Native architectures and infrastructures to enable high quality, high velocity, sustainable engineering teams.
What we enjoy:
Sharing our knowledge of cutting edge tech stacks with clients and colleagues alike to ensure the long-term benefits of cloud platforms are fully leveraged
Extolling the virtues of Test Driven Development & Continuous Integration/Delivery
Assisting with the development of elegant micro-service products used at extreme scale
Delivering hands-on training that ensures our legacy remains long after we do
Regular retrospectives to figure out what we’re doing wrong so we can fix it, and what we’re doing right so we can improve on it
A day in the life:
Your primary responsibility is training and knowledge sharing with client Engineering and Development teams. As you’ve spent most of your career coding and discovering strategies for successful DevOps or Cloud Native adoption, you are enthused by the concept of transferring this to new teams as they enhance their capabilities further
Mentoring client engineering teams in the adoption of new tools, technologies, techniques, patterns and processes, ultimately helping leverage a range of tools and methodologies
Driving the adoption of development best practice through whatever method is practical given the obstacles encountered.
Representing Armakuni and communicating our vision to client engineering teams, technical management and executives when required
Delivering training and support on world-class PaaS solutions composed of best-of-breed cloud native and CI/CD tools such as Cloud Foundry, PKS and Concourse
What does good look like?
First and foremost you will have a passion for leveraging technology to optimise processes and procedures. With a background in software development you will enjoy working alongside client Engineering teams to introduce and optimise development tools and methodologies, ultimately enhancing their cloud journey.
From a technical perspective we find those who enjoy a successful career as a Consulting Software Engineer with Armakuni typically have:
A proven track record of software/application development with Ruby, Golang or Java
Experience of automating deployment using CI/CD (bonus points for Concourse)
Passion for Pair Programming and TDD - these skills are crucial in how we engage and work alongside our clients
The ability to relay the positives and negatives of various tools, methodologies and ideas in a clear and constructive manner
Strong communication and consulting skills - our teams are comfortable running workshops (inceptions)/standups
Passion for growing and developing both technically and personally by tackling interesting work and challenging problems

Founding Engineer Metomic London, United Kingdom £60,000 to £80,000 a year
March 2019

More Than 6 Months Old

Job Description
Hey!
Do you like solving problems? Building things? Breaking things? Experimenting with things? (because we do)
Come on, the answer's yes already ...
We'd like you onboard!
We're funded, we're early, we're moving super fast, and we're about to solve a MASSIVE problem. At Metomic, we're building the "privacy by design" infrastructure of the internet. Technologies plug together like Lego - it's about time that our preferences, consent and sharing permissions do the same.
It's a greenfield opportunity. We have:
A vision to make data ethics globally important. We want to make data-misuse a thing of the past. We want to give every product and service in the world a permissions screen.
A wide-open green field of freshly baked services
A young and pliable tech stack and infrastructure
Energy and drive in abundance
We love awesome engineering, and awesome engineers:
We're playing with Docker, Typescript/NodeJS, Go, a smidge of Python, React, rapid prototyping, metrics-metrics-metrics and tight feedback loops
We love autonomy and ownership, and believe in empowering our team
We like polyglots! If you take like a duck to water with new languages, we don't care if you haven't used much of ours
You're curious, creative and smart
And modest, too. Here are some of the other things that you have:
A curious mind. A love for the question "why"
Flexibility. Your peers say you can turn your hand to pretty much anything you set your mind to
Good communication skills. We're a small team!
The ability to code (no surprises here). You are comfortable in two or more languages
The ability to build fast
A working knowledge of devops. You can spin up a cloud hosted prototype in a jiffy...
... or have sufficient google skills to make it look like you already could
...and you have a wide set of interests:
Perhaps in your free time you've dabbled with front-end. Or painting. Or robots. Or a markov-chain Trump-tweet generator. In which case can you take it down please? It's currently running the United States.
Hey you said full-stack ... but "dabbled" with front-end?
Yes. We don't need you to be a front-end person. We're looking for a great engineer in general, not a specialism - and this is the closest tag we could decide upon. So if you've ever felt "But I do lots of things! How do I present myself as capable doer of multitudinous things?" then you're perfect. "So do I need to build the front-end" Nope!
Unless that's your burning passion, in which case, hey, we'll hook you up.
What else? I want more. Open-source? Dev talks? Community?
Ok, we're going to be hitting the noise channels pretty hard to make a bit of a racket. We're engineers, and a lot of other engineers are getting on board with this idea of doing shared data "right".
So for us that means: meetups, blogging, tech talks, open-sourcing, spec-defining and platform designing. There will be lots of pizza and snacks because we're supposed to like pizza and snacks and Richard's pretty health conscious so there'll be some kind of vegetable presence too.
And if you like the sound of having a voice in the community, we will absolutely make that happen.
Whoa whoa wait, the salary?
Of course. We believe in hiring good people, and paying them well. This is a big role, it comes with a big salary. We're also offering equity, because we want everyone to be in the same boat.
Ok I'm sold. Let's chat.
Great! Our CTO Ben gets a small electric shock for every application; so even if you're not interested you should try it out to keep him on his feet.

More Than 6 Months Old
Job Description
Risk Ledger is seeking software engineers to join our core team and take ownership of developing & shaping our platform that sits on the intersection of cybersecurity and risk management. This is an opportunity to work with the latest technologies to solve an increasingly important problem, and to have an outsized impact on a product early in its lifecycle.
We are looking for an amazing and talented team from a diverse set of backgrounds and skillsets to help us grow and build a truly special company, from scratch. The main focus of the role will be on backend development, but to excel you should be comfortable up and down the stack - it’s all hands on deck at this stage, so you’ll need to be ready and willing to delve into the front-end, ship new functionality, and be involved in the product development, improving and learning as we go.
What you’ll be doing:
Building our system’s backend, primarily in Go. If you’re a fast learner and keen to work with Go in production, we’d love to speak with you;
Developing and fleshing out our API. We’ll be ingesting a lot of data from our clients and their supply chain, so having a robust API is key to taking the stress out of our customers’ lives;
Getting your code, and that of the team, into production - hopefully continuously and bug-free!
Helping to expose the backend functionality in the frontend when necessary. The UI is built in HTML, CSS and JavaScript using Vue.js, so you should be confident enough to understand how everything fits together and be happy to make improvements where appropriate.
Working closely with the customer relations side of the company, to ensure that we’re always focused on and building what is right for our clients to make their lives easier, not just ours.
What success will look like:
An awesome looking product, with the functionality our clients need.
A growing engineering team that people enjoy working with, who laugh together, know each other’s strengths and get the job done.
A rapidly expanding customer-base who are eager to use our product, keeping us on our toes when it comes to infrastructure and scaling.
Perks & Benefits
The autonomy and flexibility you need to deliver the work as you see fit.
The opportunity to get involved with, shape and lead the entire process of product strategy, design and implementation.
The equipment you need to get the job done.
All the learning resources and books you want to aid in your personal development.
Generous EMI stock options.
32 days of holiday a year - take a break, enjoy yourself!
Up to an additional 30 days of unpaid leave a year to use as you wish.

Distributed Systems Engineer Monax London, United Kingdom £40,000 to £80,000 a year
October 2018

More Than 6 Months Old
This job posting is no longer available
Job Description
Distributed Systems Engineer - to help us build a public, decentralised, blockchain-backed legal agreements network
London
£40,000 - £80,000 plus options (ESOP).
Relocation package available for the right candidate. This role could also be based in our Edinburgh office.
Candidates currently based outside of London or Edinburgh must indicate their preferred location and willingness to relocate in their cover letter.
We are looking for kind, talented software engineers to help us make smart iterations on our legal agreements network as we deploy successive test networks.
Monax were pioneers of permissioned blockchains and smart contracts and we are building our Agreements Network to allow new and more efficient forms of legal transacting.
Exploiting the benefits of various decentralised, distributed, and masterless technologies - chiefly Hyperledger Burrow, which Monax built from scratch and still maintains based on the Tendermint consensus engine.
You will have the chance to work on a system that has distributed consensus and validation in a low trust environment at its heart and offers very interesting challenges, these could be:
Working with multiple clusters of nodes, most of which are not under your control to handle semi-automated network upgrades and governance votes. How do you upgrade a network you do not control?
Using cryptographic primitives like Verifiable Random Functions to orchestrate churn amongst network validators
Build package manager and compiler integrations for deploying and testing smart contracts
Implement low-level virtual machine instructions and improvements to our Ethereum Virtual Machine implementation
Working with our CTO on our Node Distribution Team you can expect to quickly own significant parts of our stack, and make decisions that will affect the company’s future viability in a fast-moving space (public permissioned consensus networks). You would also work closely with our Product Team who are responsible for building the foundational smart contracts, the business process modelling engine that drives the Agreements Network and also our particular front end (the network is open to extension by any of our co-founders however).
Your role will give you the chance to work across all teams in the business and it will also give you the opportunity to leave your mark in a growing industry, where you need to evaluate existing best practices and apply them to new technological paradigms and new programming languages. Navigating between the hype, the detractors and the zealots we believe there is real value in our approach and we intend to prove it.
You will join a business building a genuinely novel system, that in part intends to create an entirely new market by enabling legal products that challenge existing legal services.
This role would suit a talented software engineer, with solid technical skills in and a minimum of 3-4 years of software development experience. We are also open to engineers who can bring significantly more experience to the role. If you are a good match for Monax, we are willing to create a role that suits you.
Who do we need? Someone who has:
Go experience or the ability to pick it up in a few weeks
Kubernetes experience or the ability to pick it up in a few weeks
A degree-level qualification in a numerate discipline or equivalent evidence of analytic and reasoning skills and theoretical thinking
A good knowledge of algorithms and data structures
A hacker mentality towards making things work
An ability for long form design work ‘on pencil and paper’
An ineffable marmot-ness
It is crucial that you are able to take part in forceful yet respectful technical discussions with colleagues and that you are able to change your mind about something if required, and also are able to change other’s minds.
Real things you might work on:
Build a Kubernetes operator for Hyperledger Burrow
Devise a way to compress/normalise data in our merkle tree to control our long-term storage usage
Implement an atomic swap with public Ethereum to represent value on our chain
Write optimised native (Go) functions, callable from evm, to implement graph traversal over our business processes
Build fee allocation and distribution models that help maintain our network and provide the correct incentives
What can Monax offer you?
Extremely marketable blockchain and cryptocurrency skills.
The chance to make blockchain systems live up to their hype by making them highly operable, our network will be operated peer-to-peer by many parties and this needs to be as painless as possible.
Experience in blending distributed, decentralised, and centralised systems. To spend time working on something foundational at the level of a network architecture.
The chance to spend time thinking ‘around the software’; about law, economics, and game theory.
You will have a high level of autonomy. The business has just enough hierarchy, consensus and individual project responsibility (c.f. design-by-committee) favoured over diktats.
Flexible working - the successful candidate will be based in our London or Edinburgh work space primarily, but there is scope for flexible working and choosing your own hours and place of work when established.
Relocation assistance is available for the right candidate.
Who will you be working with?
Around fifteen people in our passionate cross functional team, including time with:
Our CTO in London, who would be your primary daily contact
Our CPO in New York, with whom you’ll liaise with to ensure the distribution platform and product stack work harmoniously.
Product Team members currently building the application stack.
Our Legal Engineers in New York providing crucial context to how legal products on the platform will be used
Our CEO in Edinburgh for just about anything else...
