Golang Jobs in Canada

Job Description

MaxMind (www.maxmind.com) is looking for a talented, experienced, and highly motivated Senior Software Engineer to help us develop and improve our products. We help protect thousands of companies worldwide from fraud, screening over a billion online transactions each year, and we provide IP intelligence data to thousands more. This work requires us to take on exciting challenges and we want you to help!

This is a full time remote position, and we welcome candidates to apply anywhere from Canada.

You must be eligible/authorized to work in Canada.

The Position

As a Senior Software Engineer, your job will be to carry out development projects both big and small. You may work on adding features to existing products, refactoring legacy code, fixing bugs in our open source APIs, or developing entirely new services. We're looking for an experienced software developer who can make good technical design decisions, write tests and documentation, and communicate well with non-developers.

Our salary range for Engineering roles begins at $165k CAD, with the specific offer depending upon skills and experience. See more about benefits and compensation below.

Our Development Practices

Our backend code is largely written in Perl and Go using PostgreSQL and Linux. We maintain high standards for our development practices. New backend code is expected to be written in Go, include automated tests run by TeamCity, and go through internal code review on GitHub Enterprise. The existing Perl code is being slowly rewritten in Go.

We use free software as much as possible, and we release code back to the community when we can do so. We're always improving the way we do development, and we expect you to participate in that process.

About You - Minimum Qualifications: * Significant experience with static and dynamic programming languages. The position will primarily involve programming in Go and Perl. A programming exercise will be given to all applicants. * Strong knowledge of SQL, preferably Postgres in particular. * Familiarity with web service development. * Experience developing for deployment on a Linux or similar platform. * Experience writing tests and documentation. * Experience doing code reviews. * Excellent written and spoken communication skills. * The ability to work with a geographically dispersed team.

Highly desired * Polyglots or those with an interest in picking up new languages. Though most of our code is Perl and Go, we maintain open source libraries in several different languages. * Open source contributions. Tell us about them! * An interest in performance and security. * Experience working with Google Cloud Platform (or another cloud provider). * Our systems run on GCP.

We are a fully remote company so communication centers around video chat, group chat, and Agile planning tools.

Job Description

tl;dr: We're looking for an excellent engineer with solid Go experience to join our small, distributed development team. We're in Los Angeles, San Francisco & Paris; substantial time-zone overlap with CET (Paris) is key because our lead frontend engineer lives & works there.

Who we are

At Synthro, we are creating Foam, a new paradigm to collect, organize, create, and share your data, to help people think better together.

While we have developed core elements of the experience, we have many technical challenges ahead. Our team collaborates and leverages process, automated testing and group decision-making to get stuff done.

Our technology environment is Linux based, runs in AWS and utilizes Go, React, and JavaScript. We are leveraging an array of AWS services to deliver our solution and extensively take advantage of open-source solutions.

We're in the scrappy startup phase: we all work from home, even before the pandemic.

Role overview

We're hiring a Backend Developer to work with our team. You will focus on the backend for our web app. You will work closely with our frontend developer and be responsible for the API, data models, architecture, and AWS environment.

We love junior developers, but this role is for someone senior.

About you

Here's how to tell if you'd be a good fit for this job.

Must-haves

• You've built and shipped Go services (RESTful, HTTP), preferably something you can share with us
• You dream in idiomatic Go (2+ years experience highly desired)
• You don’t feel like you’re done until you have 85% unit test coverage
• You have solid knowledge of Postgres, specifically stored procedures & triggers
• You have solid working knowledge of core AWS services (ECS, EC2, RDS, S3, Cloudfront, Route 53)
• Your git history reflects you’re an excellent written (and verbal) communicator

Nice-to-haves

• You have worked from home or remotely for a distributed team
• You have experience with infrastructure-as-code (we use Terraform on AWS)
• You live in or within an hour of CET (Paris)

Why you might want to work with us

• We're small, so there are no layers of bureaucracy to work through. You can have a huge impact here.
• We have as few meetings as we can get away with.
• You can work remotely as long as you have substantial overlap with our primary time zones, Pacific and Central European. We call these “office” hours.
• Outside of “office” hours, you can work whenever you like.

Why you might not want to work with us

• We’re a startup, with all the good and bad that comes with that.
• We’re a small team. At the end of the day, you need to be able to solve your own problems.
• You own the infrastructure so you need to deal with it when it breaks.

Pay

We're looking for someone great, not someone cheap. If you're expensive but amazing, we can probably make it work.
