Job Description
Third Light is hiring a Back End Engineer —a Go developer or someone who has been mixing Go into their work or personal projects and is readynow looking for a primarily Go-based role.
You may work remotely - joining a team that already includes remote workers - or from our Cambridge office.
This is about delivering sophisticated new product features for release to our state-of-the-art software service that helps people manage and share their digital media files easily – features that deliver immediate positive impact for our global user base.
We're a small and expanding software development team, building an enterprise application with a highly-polished UI, using the very best and latest techniques. We employ an iterative, design-led process where everyone on the team gets a say.
Our product is a single-page JavaScript application loosely-coupled to a back end that's built on Go microservices and legacy PHP. We use microservices for all new features and Go is our chosen language to do this. In parallel we are migrating our older codebase to Go microservices.
We're agile and manage our work using a gentle Kanban process with daily stand-ups and we encourage a lightweight, productive approach to development. We can allocate projects that build upon your current strengths, and we offer a personal development approach that you may help shape.
Your opinion and expertise will be valued from day one.
Upcoming projects within the team
Integrate with social media to provide a publishing platform that can also gather user-generated content
Provide AI and machine vision to detect duplicate files and provide auto-tagging and OCR
Create a metrics & reporting system to track usage of features, document downloads and image views
Implement a full SFTP client & server interface to integrate with SLR Cameras and legacy systems
Extend workflow and automation microservices to create intuitive automated channel publishing tools
Automate orchestration of microservices in our product e.g. exploring Kubernetes
< your idea here! >
We're looking for
Someone who's positive about Go and wishes to embrace this exciting language
Proven back-end coding skills using either PHP or Go and for Linux
Demonstrable interest in Go—from industry, self directed learning or personal projects
An appreciation for continuous unit and integration testing
Skills in designing, building, testing and maintaining web services, ideally microservices
Ability to work with a large, live, production codebase
Familiarity with relational databases e.g. MySQL or PostgreSQL
Familiarity with CI/CD, preferably within a Git-based workflow
Optionally, familiarity with porting an OO monolith to a microservice architecture
Someone considering mid level back-end jobs such as: Go Developer | Go Microservices Developer | Golang Developer| Node.js Developer | PHP Developer | Python Developer | Back End Engineer | Back End Developer etc.
You may bring—or like to gain—skills exploring any of the following
Containers, containers as services and automated container deployment
Large-scale storage, manipulation and streaming of multimedia
Machine intelligence, visual recognition or similar numerical computation
Production experience in systems configuration, monitoring, logging, and metrics gathering
Our current technology mix - we'll help you get up to speed
Personal development plan that you can shape for related training/certifications/conferences
25 days holiday + public holidays | flexible hours | bicycle and free car parking | on site cafe | good coffee and tea | fresh fruit | choice of high end workstation | an adorable Beagle to brighten the office
Working remotely: The Third Light development team embraced remote working a few years ago and now has workers in more than one country. We strive to provide a friendly, fun, supportive remote-working culture and we refine our processes to make remoting easier. We will welcome your ideas and contributions. We provide computing equipment and cover reasonable costs incurred from running a home office.
Normally, as a new starter, you'd come to the office for a few weeks to get to know each other. Due to Coronavirus you will no-doubt join us remotely, at least temporarily, which will bring interesting challenges in how best to introduce you to, and integrate you into, the development team—how to train you, how to help familiarise yourself with our systems and ways of working. We see this as an interesting challenge so we’re working it out at the moment. We're planning a fully-remote ‘onboarding’ process with team meetups, one-to-one sessions and pair programming as well as online social gatherings for you when you join.
If you'd prefer to primarily work from our office this option will still be available to you after lockdown.

Site Reliability Engineer Castor EDC Amsterdam, The Netherlands €60,000 to €80,000 a year
February 2020
2 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old
This job posting is no longer available
Job Description
Our true purpose at Castor
Castor is one of the leading platforms for data collection in medical research. We believe standardizing and reusing datasets is key to overcoming the healthcare challenges of the future.
How we operate
Our main Electronic Data Capture (EDC) application runs on a proven stack consisting of Ubuntu, Nginx, PHP and MySQL. For our cloud installations, we orchestrate these setups by using Terraform combined with Ansible for the server configuration management.
Due to the nature of processing medical data, we have clients in different regions across the globe, often with specific regulatory constraints around where and how their research data is stored. To meet these customer demands we combine both traditional as well as cloud-based hosting solutions.
Most of our clients prefer to run in Azure, but we’re using Google Cloud Platform for things like Kubernetes hosting of greenfield projects, blob storage for scalable file upload storage and their Key Management System (KMS) to further secure our data.
For our metrics we’ve begun standardizing on Prometheus and we’re moving towards Loki for log aggregation. We use PagerDuty for alerting, communicate via Slack and host our code on Github.
Why we’re growing our team
With our recent expansion have come new challenges, both in how we organize ourselves and in how we manage and scale our infrastructure in the future.
To further these efforts we have formed a Platform team consisting of SRE and Software Engineering, which we are now looking to grow with the addition of an additional SRE.
Additionally, due to the sensitive nature of medical data, Castor is certified for both ISO/IEC 9001 (quality) and 27001 (Information security). In addition, we have to adhere to a number of other regulations, including Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines.
Our goal is to unite these requirements with emerging SRE practices around infrastructure as code and other principles to create a well designed and documented system, while still allowing us to remain flexible to change.
How you will contribute
Our absolute commitment to patient data security and privacy informs our vendor selection with certified datacenter and cloud providers. To achieve real impact in medical research, Castor needs to operate security around the world.
Historically, our production platform has run on top of managed hosting services. This model doesn’t scale well for our global, international footprint, which is why we are currently expanding our in-house knowledge and transitioning to Infrastructure-as-a-Service providers.
As a Site Reliability Engineer, you’ll have the ability to shape our operations and continuously deliver a working product. Working very closely with the development teams, you’ll collaborate in supporting and structuring our efforts around automation, observability and security. With your help we plan to scale the Castor platform to the next level.
Some things we worked on recently
Whilst there are many operational challenges as we continue to grow and scale at Castor, our Platform team has made great improvements to a variety of our systems already. To give you some examples of what we achieved last month:
Migrated our DNS to AWS Route53
Set up automatic documentation pipelines using MkDocs
Moved our CI/CD pipelines from Jenkins to CircleCI
Built a key-service on AWS Lambda to store disk encryption keys off-site for an otherwise region-local setup
Your background
You have helped run web-facing services under production workloads and have experienced the challenges that come with maintaining and scaling these systems. Making and owning decisions about systems architecture together with your team is something you enjoy and feel comfortable with.
Qualities we’re looking for include:
A good grasp on how *NIX systems operate
The ability to evaluate and implement best practices for IT operations
A working knowledge of both cloud-native and traditional systems architecture and the trade-offs between them
Experience with a configuration management framework such as Ansible, Chef, Puppet or SaltStack
The ability and desire to work with a wide range of open source technologies
A strong privacy- and security mindset
Experience with some aspects of Observability and distributed systems: from monitoring, logging and metrics instrumentation to resiliency to failure
A good understanding of how relational databases operate
Experience with at least one programming or scripting language, preferably Python or Go(lang)
Knowledge that a list of skills and requirements doesn’t mean you have to tick every single box to apply ;)
How we say thank you
At Castor we truly live our core values, believing we can achieve anything with a healthy and happy team. With this in mind, we offer the following benefits:
Our own ‘Castor Burrow’ - brand new offices by Amsterdam Amstelstation
A competitive salary plus an annual company bonus plan
Employee Stock Option Programme incentive
30 days annual leave plus 6 public holidays
An individual training and professional development budget
Flexible working with the opportunity to work from home 1 day per week
Meditation room with daily yoga, mindfulness and company subscription to Calm
