Backend Go Software Engineer Geckoboard London, United Kingdom / Remote (UK) ÂŁ65,000 to ÂŁ80,000 a year
November 2020
2 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old
This job posting is no longer available
Job Description
Excited about the idea of working on distributed systems at scale? Want to be writing Go everyday? With great people? Weâre looking for curious problem solvers to do just that.
At Geckoboard, weâre 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. Thatâs 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.
Our engineering culture
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 â an Innovation Day â to work on projects that interest you, learn new skills or contribute to open source⌠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.
Our teams
**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 youâll be joining initially, weâve 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.
You should apply if:
What weâve described sounds interesting
Youâre interested in distributed systems
Youâve worked with Go before*
You want to build a product that delights its users and genuinely serves their needs
Youâre collaborative; you empathise, listen and discuss
You actively seek out feedback in your work and to ensure you understand the problem youâre solving
We know that there are great candidates who may not exactly fit into what weâve described above, or who have important skills we havenât thought of. If thatâs you or youâre not sure, please apply, weâd love to hear from you.
Right now we're only considering mid-to-senior level candidates, if you're still developing your Go skillset and interested in joining the Geckoboard team, head to www.geckoboard.com/careers and get in touch, we'd love to hear from you and chat about future jobs!
Work where you work best:
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 weâve 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 youâre 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. Weâre 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 itâs safe to do so again.
Some of our team have shorter working weeks and weâre more than happy to try to accommodate this or another arrangement whenever possible. Just let us know what works best for you or that youâd like to chat about it in your application.
Logistics:
At this time, weâre only considering candidates who are (or will be) based in the United Kingdom (regardless of whether youâre onsite when out offices reopen or fully remote). Unfortunately, weâre unable to provide sponsorship for this role.
Our hiring process:
20-30 minute call with a Talent Partner
45 minute video call with the Hiring Manager
Take home exercise
Virtual onsite with the team - about 2.5 hours
The whole process takes about 2-3 weeks end to end, but weâre flexible!
Apply for the job
Do you want to join our team as our new Backend Go Software Engineer? We'd love to hear about you!

Monzoâs security team has a wide range of responsibilities, from infrastructure security to application security. As a bank, we are solving diverse, novel problems to ensure that our customers are safe and secure.
One of the guiding principles of security at Monzo is that security at the expense of user experience is a last resort. We aim to move mountains in the background such that we can build world-class features without compromising on security.
As a member of our security team you would be responsible for constantly improving the security of Monzo, and you would work closely with other teams to ensure that our systems are secure by design. Of course, security incidents can and do occur, and the security team is involved with many different types of incident response.
Our engineers have a variety of different backgrounds
We have several non-graduates; only some of us studied Computer Science; one of the team has a degree in Marketing; some of us have worked in huge companies; some have only ever worked in startups; others are former consultants. As long as you enjoy learning new things, weâd love to talk to you.
We encourage an open and transparent working environment
You can get involved in any aspect of the business you are interested in and, following Stripeâs example, all emails in the company are visible in an email archive.

Cassandra for most persistent data storage
Kafka for our asynchronous message queue
Linkerd/Finagle for RPC
Kubernetes and Docker to schedule and run our services (Oliver, our Head of Engineering, gave a great talk at KubeCon on how we use these technologies)
AWS for most of our infrastructure
React for internal web dashboards

Projects that Product backend engineers have worked on recently include Summary (giving people insight into their finances to empower them to spend sensibly) and the Current Account Switch Service (all the hard work to allow users to move to Monzo quickly and easily).
Lending
The Lending team works on making borrowing money simple, fair and transparent. They've already shipped and scaled overdrafts to hundreds of thousands of Monzo customers and they've made it easy to take out a loan without the unfair fees or confusing pricing that you find elsewhere. They work on everything from the way borrowing works in the app, right down to how they move and account for money that our customers borrow. One of the most interesting problems they face is deciding how much to lend and to whom. The team believes that they can make access to credit fairer and more transparent.
Logistics
We can help you relocate to London, we can sponsor visas, and we're open to remote working (as long as you can spend around 20% of your time in London).
We offer competitive salaries based on skills and experience, which could be anywhere between ÂŁ40,000 - ÂŁ100,000 per year.
We care deeply about inclusive working practices and diverse teams. If youâd prefer to work part-time or as a job-share, weâll facilitate this wherever we can - whether to help you meet other commitments or to help you strike a great work-life balance.
Weâre continually hiring for Backend Engineers! Our interview process typically consists of an initial phone screen, a take-home code task, and a half-day on-site interview. We promise not to ask you any brain teasers or trick questions, and we won't make you code on a whiteboard
