Bud's mission is simple. We're here to create the worldās most compelling financial data products. The products we're building are used by some of the world's most prestigious institutions to help millions of their customers take control of their finances.
Youāll be writing and contributing to microservices mainly written in Go and hosted in a containerised environment. Your time will be split between building APIs using a mix of HTTP and gRPC, monitoring daemons, creating data parsers and so much more. If building a secure database storage engine or high performance APIs sounds like the kind of challenge youād enjoy then weād love for you to get in touch.
The software engineering team is tasked with solving highly technical problems to enable solutions that tangibly benefit the lives of millions of people. From how to scale our solutions to tens of millions of users in the most effective manner, to integrating hundreds of third-party businesses, data is key to our business and we need passionate developers to help capture it, store it, transform it, research it and most importantly secure it.
We could play buzzword bingo but one of our core values is 'Authentic' and the best way to demonstrate this is by sharing our employee engagement dashboard. This provides a weekly engagement and NPS score giving you a true reflection of life at Bud. All data collected is realtime & anonymised so we have no control over what you see.
The dashboard is interactive so check it out here and have a look at what the numbers mean, https://bit.ly/2MhjAZT
Based on our extensive benchmarking we have budgeted at Ā£55,000-Ā£75,000 per annum + 5% options on equity which vests over 3 years, with a 1 year cliff.
š 25 days holiday (excluding bank holidays)! You can carry up to 5 over the following year if you wish.
š§āāļøš§Health and Wellbeing Allowance! We have a monthly allowance of Ā£50 for all employees to use towards wellbeing activities such as classes or a gym membership.
š©āš»šØāš»Flexible working! We encourage autonomy here at Bud. We trust you to work in a way that will enable you to deliver your best work. Bud supports flexible working; we want you to perform at your best and recognise that other issues will arise from time to time.

šSeason Ticket loan
š± The biggest motivation for people is learning and developing, our people have up to Ā£500 per annum of learning and development opportunities funded by Bud.
š¤¹āāļøš¤¹āāļø We're big on keeping Bud a social team, so Christmas and Summer parties can be a big deal. We also put on events and have a new social committee every quarter to keep it exciting in normal times. At the moment we have remote events which change often depending on what the teams are interested in.
Weāre a diverse group of people. With backgrounds ranging from data science to music production, more than 80% of our team come from outside the world of finance ā providing us with a unique perspective as we help consumers feel more in control of their lives. For us, an interest in people comes first; finance follows.
The APIs and infrastructure weāre building are designed to place the power of personal data back into the hands of normal people. Picture this: a world where your bank knew you were paying too much for your gas bill and could switch you to a more suitable provider, or understood your savings targets and could automatically find you a better deal. Thatās what weāre working towards.
Budās mission is to create the worldās most compelling financial data products.

Excited about the idea of working on distributed systems at scale? Want to be writing Go everyday? With great people? Weāre looking for curious problem solvers to do just that.
At Geckoboard, weāre working to help teams achieve their goals by enabling a fresh way of working. This revolves around making sure that important data gets seen and acted upon. Thatās where our dashboards come in. Geckoboard is straightforward dashboard software that makes it quick and easy to surface live business data, metrics and KPIs for teams.
We're all here to build something great. You'll be joining a growing team of empowered engineers in a supportive environment that values experimentation, work-life balance and personal development. We've built a culture of knowledge sharing and feedback, so you'll be involved in planning and prioritisation of work as well as peer reviews and pair programming.
Learning is also a big part of our engineering culture. About once every fortnight you're able to take a whole day ā an Innovation Day ā to work on projects that interest you, learn new skills or contribute to open sourceā¦ whatever it may be! We encourage these projects and often they have led to improvements in the way we work or concepts that have then been prioritised, developed further and added to our Product.
We work in small and focused cross-functional teams, usually made up of a Product Manager, a Designer, and a mix of Frontend and Backend Engineers. QA and Infrastructure tend to come in at the points they're needed or for specific projects. We scope out our project such that we're able to deliver meaningful work but small enough to iterate and take on board feedback quickly. We encourage our engineers to get involved in different teams and projects based on their interests, skills and opportunities to learn. We're also equally mindful about technical debt and make sure we dedicate time to addressing it.
**Product
**Our product teams each own a different part of the product, building features that improve Geckoboard for our customers. Some of our recent work has ranged from a new send-to-Slack feature, SSO and in the team youāll be joining initially, weāve been building a brand new internal framework for importing, storing, and analysing data from third-party APIs we integrate with. We know that investing in our Data Platform is the best way we can deliver flexible, high-quality integrations quickly and easily. The new framework takes care of managing and scheduling imports, responding to webhooks, receiving analytics queries, migrating data from one version to the next and allows us to build internal gRPC services using a common protobuf interface upon it.
**Platform
**We believe that we can only be successful as an Engineering team if we are constantly and systematically investing in our tooling, our common systems, and our developer experience, this is where our Platform team comes in. Our recent work has ranged from rapid response work to improving test and trace coverage, migrating existing services to Go modules and support for other teams. We're also working on enabling older RESTful services to be migrated onto gRPC with a GraphQL API gateway in front.
What weāve described sounds interesting
Youāre interested in distributed systems
Youāve worked with Go before*
You want to build a product that delights its users and genuinely serves their needs
Youāre collaborative; you empathise, listen and discuss
You actively seek out feedback in your work and to ensure you understand the problem youāre solving
We know that there are great candidates who may not exactly fit into what weāve described above, or who have important skills we havenāt thought of. If thatās you or youāre not sure, please apply, weād love to hear from you.
While most of our team are normally based in our leafy East London office, a lot of us work remotely at least a day or two during the week. This means weāve always been intentional about making sure our ways-of-working are remote-friendly so we can support that flexibility for everyone. We also have fully remote team members, though the expectation is that youāre comfortable with a visit to the London office about once a quarter (except during pandemics).
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, our office remains closed and everyone on the team is working from home presently. Weāre likely to continue working from home over the Winter. We keep a close eye on the government guidance, regularly update the team, and plan to open our office only when itās safe to do so again.
Some of our team have shorter working weeks and weāre more than happy to try to accommodate this or another arrangement whenever possible. Just let us know what works best for you or that youād like to chat about it in your application.
At this time, weāre only considering candidates who are (or will be) based in the United Kingdom (regardless of whether youāre onsite when out offices reopen or fully remote). Unfortunately, weāre unable to provide sponsorship for this role.
The whole process takes about 2-3 weeks end to end, but weāre flexible!
Do you want to join our team as our new Backend Go Software Engineer? We'd love to hear about you!
