Senior Backend Engineer Plexy Remote (Americas) $100,000 to $135,000 a year
February 2022
1 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old
Job Description
Our mission is to help software teams get more done. Over the past decade there has been an explosion of specialized tooling in the enterprise. Itâs putting the burden on each of us to jump between different apps and tabs to get our work done and at the end of the day weâre wasting valuable time. We believe there is a better way. Our ambition is bold: build the best platform for software teams to get their work done.
Weâre just getting started and are looking to grow the team to help us accomplish our mission. We love what we do and are motivated by working on a product that we enjoy using ourselves. You would have an immediate impact as a builder and user influencing product. You would join the early team as a founding engineer and have full ownership working closely with our founders. Come join us!
Who weâre looking for
We are looking for a full-time backend engineer. Our ideal candidate has 5+ years of experience building event driven micro-services or service oriented architectures and has built most facets, if not all, in a twelve-factor app. Preference is for real experience (2+ years) in our primary language of Golang, but other languages are considered when able to quickly pick up new technologies. Additional experience in integrating with 3rd party systems, event-driven architecture, databases, and cloud services (AWS, GCP, etc) are important.
You will directly influence how and what to build, and must be comfortable collaborating on the architecture, code, product, etc as we have a strong culture of devops as well as being technically curious, thoughtful and purposeful in what we build. We value deploying frequently with well-written, maintainable, instrumented and tested code to a kubernetes cluster.
**Responsibilities: **
* Develop new products and features in a small team
* Collaboration with the team to solve technical problems and help shape the product direction
* Provide technical input and knowledge to the planning, design, and requirements process for new products and features
* Review other software engineers' code for correctness, style, and completeness
* Support your team's production software by responding to an occasional alert or bug report
* Write integration tests and work with our product team to ensure the operation and correctness of new features
Requirements:
* 5+ years of backend engineering in a distributed systems
* 2+ years in Golang or 5+ using several languages you were able to quickly pick up
* Strong knowledge of a variety of database systems (Graph, relational etc.)
* Experience working with 3rd party APIs and OAuth
* Comfortable with strong dev ops culture
* Strong communication skills in English and experience working as part of a remote team
* Need to be located in timezones UTC-4 through UTC-8 (The Americas)
* Excited to travel internationally for company retreats (twice a year)
* Favorite Ted Lasso quote
Who Are We?
We love what we do: designing and building great products. But our work isn't the only thing that defines us. We're not trying to create some semi-cult to get people to work here. We simply enjoy working together and building useful and beautiful software for our customers. Weâre a venture-backed, pre-launch startup and are looking for someone who is excited about this stage of building a product and having a real impact on the companyâs success.
You would join a group of repeat founders. We have founded and worked at startups that raised a bunch of money from top VCs. While that has its advantages (hire lots of amazing people, spend money on ads and cool perksâŠ) it also puts a company on a very narrow success path. It's very binary, since venture investors have a binary return profile (they succeed if their investments sell for billions). So we decided to do it a little differently this time. Where growth isn't the only goal of a company. Where it's balanced with the goal of being default-alive and capital-efficient which leaves doors open and avoids the trap of forced binary outcomes.
Golang Developers Ambassador Labs Remote $160,000 to $180,000 a year

Job Description
Ambassador Labs (formerly Datawire), the cloud native developer experience leader, enables developers to code, ship, and run applications faster and easier than ever. Maker of top Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) open source projects, including Emissary-ingress and Telepresence, Ambassador Labs delivers a developer control plane for Kubernetes that integrates the development, deployment, and production infrastructure for developers and organizations worldwide including Microsoft, PTC, NVidia, and Ticketmaster. Ambassador Labs is backed by top investors including Insight Partners, Matrix Partners, Trinity Ventures, and Four Rivers Group.
We are looking to hire engineers that care as much about empowering developers as we do and have embraced the cloud native phenomenon that is taking over the world. We strongly believe that Ambassador Labsâ success is dependent on hiring a diverse team. Diversity means a broader spectrum of opinions, ways of working and approaches to solving problems; we feel it is critical to helping drive the creativity, innovation and sound decision-making our customers love us for!
About the Job
As an engineer at Ambassador Labs, you will be working on products aimed at drastically improving the way cloud native developers work. Your impact will be felt by thousands of users at companies like Epic Games, Microsoft, PTC, Ticketmaster, Cisco and Unity Technologies. This is a rare opportunity to join a growing team of smart and empathetic software engineers. The role is focused primarily on development of new products and services.
We have loosely adopted Basecampâs Shape-Up approach to development by undertaking well-shaped projects in six-week cycles. As a team, our focus is firmly on products that help users make the shift to the cloud with Kubernetes, front and center.
Hereâs a bit more insight into what your work life will be like as an engineer on the Edge Stack team at Ambassador Labs:
Our products comprise multiple services and those services are written in various languages (the best language for that particular task), but as a member of the Edge Stack team youâll work primarily in Golang and Python.
Youâll work on Linux or Mac: some of us work on one platform, some on the other, each choosing whichever platform makes us the most productive.
Youâll also use your favorite IDE or editor; although we use different ones, weâre oddly free of those silly âmine is the bestâ discussions :).
Youâll work on our API gateway and ingress products on a distributed team building a feature, or reviewing open source community PRs, or improving performance, etc., in six-week development cycles, and then youâll cool down between cycles doing self-directed learning, improving your tools, or maybe even hacking up a demo of an exciting new idea of yours.
You and your team will use GitHub issues and Notion or GitHub Projects to track and plan your work, Markdown for documentation, GitHub Actions for continuous integration, Docker Hub and GCR for the resulting images, and of course Slack and Zoom. Youâll have a weekly all-company (Zoom) meeting to stay current on all the things, but we try hard to minimize the number of scheduled meetings in order to maximize focus time.
Note that on-call responsibility is shared among all engineers in the organization, currently one week every three months.
About You
You are an engineer who enjoys developing products and you consider yourself a networking and distributed systems aficionado. At the core, you are motivated by figuring out ways for developers (your people!) to own their work through the power of microservices and Kubernetes. Youâre driven by understanding customers and their problems. You move with purposeful action and, most importantly, you pride yourself on execution.
Weâre looking for candidates with a strong track record of putting Golang and Python to use to bring products to life. Youâve already had some direct exposure to Kubernetes and have a passion for creating WOW experiences while at the same time making continuous improvements. Have a great idea? Act on it! You donât have to go through layers of bureaucracy to get things done at Ambassador Labs (first of all because thatâs against our philosophy, and secondly because we donât have layers of bureaucracy!).
Ambassador Labs is a remote-friendly company with âpodsâ in Boston, Portland and Montreal. Our pods are a way of bridging the gap between being 100% remote and working in an office. Eventually, when it is safe to do so, we will have physical offices in each of these locations for team members to go to on a part-time basis to fuel their creativity through brainstorming and watercooler conversations. This is our way of creating the best of both worlds. For now, everyone is 100% remote.
How to Apply
We are looking forward to hearing from you. We move quickly and decisively. We donât need to talk to 20 other candidates to make a decision, so if the fit feels right on both sides, you can be part of the team as soon as next week! The first step is speaking to our People Person, followed by the engineering leadership, and then a few of your future colleagues/team members. Interviews are typically 30 - 45 minutes, all remote. Weâll talk through your background, your approach to work, and dive into your technical knowledge. No algorithms, no off-the-cuff coding sessions, or brainteasers: we want to hear about your real-life experience and successes, especially the users that youâve made happy.
This is a demanding application process and a significant career move thatâs well worth considering. We appreciate you giving us that consideration, and we promise to give you our full attention in return. Talk to you soon!
