Job Description
Trustory is a decentralized social network to validate claims that people make.
THE PROBLEM
The internet is a place where anyone can tell their stories and be heard. Yet, in being open and permissionless, the internet sacrifices trust. If you really want the truth, you have to read credible sources, cross-reference them, and remove the bias. See the problem?
OUR SOLUTION
We’re building a decentralized application on top of the internet that doesn’t sacrifice trust or convenience, to get the truth. Using game-theoretic incentives, it’s possible to create a social network that validates the truthfulness of information.
WHAT WE VALUE
We value ethical, curious, and passionate people.
We don't care about your grades. We don't care about your pedigree. We care about your intellectual tenacity. We care about how you think not what you think.
WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU A GOOD FIT
You have a passion for writing clean, scalable and maintainable code.
You have a strong sense for good technical architecture and design.
You get bored easily. You like working on technically challenging problems. You automate repetitive, low-level tasks. You get excited about something you don’t know. You pursue your curiosity.
You hate being locked down. You like having the flexibility of working how you work best. Morning or night, in or out of the office, at a desk or standing up. You like having autonomy and ownership of the product.
You have conviction in your ideas. If you feel strongly about something, you don’t shy away from expressing your opinion. If you're in love with something, you share it with the world.
Working with competent, driven people who are maniacal about what they’re working on is what you're seeking.
OUR TEAM
We’ve worked at Andreesen Horowitz, Coinbase, Facebook, Goldman Sachs, Groupon, TED
We have backing from Fred Ehrsam, Scott Belsky, Coinbase, Pantera Capital
We’re changing the way people think about transportation. Not that long ago we were just an app to request premium black cars in a few metropolitan areas. Now we’re a part of the logistical fabric of more than 600 cities around the world. Whether it’s a ride, a sandwich, or a package, we use technology to give people what they want, when they want it.
For the people who drive with Uber, our app represents a flexible new way to earn money. For cities, we help strengthen local economies, improve access to transportation, and make streets safer.
And that’s just what we’re doing today. We’re thinking about the future, too. With teams working on new modalities, self-driving cars and even urban air transportation, we’re in for the long haul. We’re reimagining how people and things move from one place to the next.
As part of the Go team you’ll join a group of language experts solely focused on improving the quality, performance and stability of Go code across the company and the broader open-source community. You’ll work with some of the most talented, high-velocity engineering teams and ensure that the most pressing development problems are solved, and the solutions are reusable for engineers everywhere in the organization. The code you build and maintain will be at the heart of critical systems across Uber, from infrastructure to user-facing products and services. You’ll empower a large and quickly-growing engineering organization to do its best work and deliver high-quality products quickly. You’ll ensure that moving fast doesn’t mean sacrificing stability, quality, performance or maintainability. And along the way, you’ll get to shape the very future of engineering at Uber.
We need passionate, skilled developers who can think at both the code and organizational levels, engineers who care deeply about building systems and libraries the right way, who are eager to take on ownership of business-critical code, and who are opinionated and uncompromising in their pursuit of technical excellence.
Responsibilities
Design, develop and maintain world-class Go tools and packages.
Drive the development of Go standards, practices and education.
Build Uber’s Go open-source presence.
Design and build infrastructure to help teams measure and improve development velocity.
Work closely with engineers across the company to solve critical software development problems in principled and reusable ways.
Requirements
Solid understanding of Go, including common toolsand best practices.
Experience building reusable tools, packages and software patterns for developers.
Background in infrastructure and distributed systems.
Passion for software quality, including testing, code review, and documentation.
Desire to contribute to open source.
Strong cross-team communication skills.
B.S., M.S., or Ph. D. in Computer Science or equivalent work experience.
Desired
Experience working on distributed software projects in a large organization.
Experience leading, contributing to, or maintaining open-source projects.
