1 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old

Job Description

Popsa is a design-led, engineering focussed company that uses machine learning to help people rediscover their best experiences and turn them into beautiful printed products.

We grew about 500% in 2018 and weā€™re now shipping over half a million photos a week to 50 countries around the world.

This position is a great opportunity for experienced software engineers with a background in the likes of Go, Python, PHP or Node.js looking to apply their existing skillset and learn and use Go in a production environment.

Our Platform Technology Stack

  • Most of our backend code is written in Go with some Python and Node.js used where they're the right tool for the job.
  • Weā€™re entirely hosted on AWS and make extensive use of many of their services (over 30 at last count!)
  • 15+ containerised microservices running in ECS (weā€™re open to exploring moving to Kubernetes in the future if appropriate). Our services talk protocol buffers over HTTP and are discovered with Consul.
  • Dozens of event driven serverless functions running on Lambda, some running as APIs behind API Gateway and others as Step Functions
  • Dockerised batch compute workflows
  • NoSQL databases (predominantly DynamoDB and ElasticSearch)
  • Serverless analytics data lake backed by S3 using Athena (PrestoDB)
  • Terraform and Serverless Framework to manage our infrastructure as code

The Popsa platform doesnā€™t just power our mobile apps, but numerous internal business applications and custom integrations with our industrial print partners (some of this runs on a fleet of Raspberry PIs!), as well as a burgeoning data platform which will feed further into our growth strategies.

Our Head of Engineering Alex likes to describe our platform as an iceberg - the bit customers encounter is just the tip above the water - underneath is a dynamic event-driven structure that enables us to be a lean business that can iterate and experiment rapidly.

You will gain a unique perspective of a high growth business and have an opportunity to shape the landscape of our backend APIs, data pipelines and strategies, infrastructure automation and many more engineering goals.

You Should Apply If

  • You're impact driven and eager to have a real positive impact on the company, product, users and very importantly your colleagues as well
  • You have a self-starter mindset; you proactively identify issues and opportunities and tackle them without being told to do so
  • Youā€™re keen to learn more about and play around with new technologies
  • What weā€™re doing here at Popsa excites you!

Desired skill set:

  • Strong competency with a language such as Go or Python; the majority of the Platform backend is written in Go, but weā€™re flexible and you'll have the opportunity to learn on the job as well as making use of your existing skillset.
  • You structure code for scalability, performance and testing
  • Experience writing and consuming RESTful and RPC APIs; you'll be designing and building new APIs for our mobile and web clients and integrating with new partners and suppliers
  • You know and appreciate automated testing
  • Experience with Linux-based operating systems
  • Experience with container technologies
  • Production database experience, bonus points for experience with both SQL and NoSQL databases

Founding Engineer
Metomic
London, United Kingdom
Ā£60,000 to Ā£80,000 a year
March 2019
1 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old
This job posting is no longer available

Job Description

Hey!

Do you like solving problems? Building things? Breaking things? Experimenting with things? (because we do)

Come on, the answer's yes already ...

We'd like you onboard!

We're funded, we're early, we're moving super fast, and we're about to solve a MASSIVE problem. At Metomic, we're building the "privacy by design" infrastructure of the internet. Technologies plug together like Lego - it's about time that our preferences, consent and sharing permissions do the same.

It's a greenfield opportunity. We have:

  • A vision to make data ethics globally important. We want to make data-misuse a thing of the past. We want to give every product and service in the world a permissions screen.
  • A wide-open green field of freshly baked services
  • A young and pliable tech stack and infrastructure
  • Energy and drive in abundance

We love awesome engineering, and awesome engineers:

  • We're playing with Docker, Typescript/NodeJS, Go, a smidge of Python, React, rapid prototyping, metrics-metrics-metrics and tight feedback loops
  • We love autonomy and ownership, and believe in empowering our team
  • We like polyglots! If you take like a duck to water with new languages, we don't care if you haven't used much of ours

You're curious, creative and smart

And modest, too. Here are some of the other things that you have:

  • A curious mind. A love for the question "why"
  • Flexibility. Your peers say you can turn your hand to pretty much anything you set your mind to
  • Good communication skills. We're a small team!
  • The ability to code (no surprises here). You are comfortable in two or more languages
  • The ability to build fast
  • A working knowledge of devops. You can spin up a cloud hosted prototype in a jiffy...
  • ... or have sufficient google skills to make it look like you already could

...and you have a wide set of interests:

Perhaps in your free time you've dabbled with front-end. Or painting. Or robots. Or a markov-chain Trump-tweet generator. In which case can you take it down please? It's currently running the United States.

Hey you said full-stack ... but "dabbled" with front-end?

Yes. We don't need you to be a front-end person. We're looking for a great engineer in general, not a specialism - and this is the closest tag we could decide upon. So if you've ever felt "But I do lots of things! How do I present myself as capable doer of multitudinous things?" then you're perfect. "So do I need to build the front-end" Nope!

Unless that's your burning passion, in which case, hey, we'll hook you up.

What else? I want more. Open-source? Dev talks? Community?

Ok, we're going to be hitting the noise channels pretty hard to make a bit of a racket. We're engineers, and a lot of other engineers are getting on board with this idea of doing shared data "right".

So for us that means: meetups, blogging, tech talks, open-sourcing, spec-defining and platform designing. There will be lots of pizza and snacks because we're supposed to like pizza and snacks and Richard's pretty health conscious so there'll be some kind of vegetable presence too.

And if you like the sound of having a voice in the community, we will absolutely make that happen.

Whoa whoa wait, the salary?

Of course. We believe in hiring good people, and paying them well. This is a big role, it comes with a big salary. We're also offering equity, because we want everyone to be in the same boat.

Ok I'm sold. Let's chat.

Great! Our CTO Ben gets a small electric shock for every application; so even if you're not interested you should try it out to keep him on his feet.

This job posting is no longer available

Job Description

Always be kind: a simple daily affirmation and one that feels more like a personal mission statement than a corporate motto -- but Pivotal isnā€™t just any corporation. Underpinning our world-class capabilities in cloud-native software delivery and agile development methodologies is one common thread: empathy. Not only do we want to transform the way the world builds software, we also want to make sure that sustainable pace, kindness, and diversity are at the core of every enterprise.

Known for taking an iterative approach, our 2000+ employees are empowered every day to help shape the way we build software. Pivotal is committed to open source, a diverse culture, and fostering safe spaces for all of our individual employees.

*You*

You are looking for a collaborative environment building distributed systems that enable enterprises to focus on their business rather than re-architecting a cloud platform from scratch. Pair programming has always been something that you wanted to try out.

Furthering your education has always been a goal of yours. Learning new programming languages and getting to work with Golang piques your interest.

Contributing to open source software makes you feel good about the transparency it brings to an organization's code quality.

*Us*

Agile concepts are at the core of our process. We have a whole host of Pivotal Practices around Test Driven Development, pair programming, team retrospectives, technical retrospectives and continuous integration. We are excited to teach these to you and innovate with you on their implementation.

We stick to a strict 8 hour a day schedule (with flexible start and end times). Although on-call rotations are part of most teams, incidents are exceedingly rare.

We pair in small teams of 4 - 8 people in our London office, conveniently located at Old Street. We use Slack to stay connected and Tmux for pairing. We are working hard to make sure that our distributed teams function as smoothly as our distributed systems.

You'll rarely be alone when developing; from pairing all day to 1 on 1 time with your manager, there is always a Pivot there to lend a helping hand. Mentorship from senior engineering leadership is built right into our process - youā€™ll always be empowered.

Making an investment in each Pivotā€™s professional development improves the organization as a whole. We encourage you to go to conferences or purchase those pricey O'Reilly books - and weā€™ll give you a budget each year to do it.

*Your Day*

As cliche as it may sound, every day is completely different from the next. We have a general framework for what our day looks like and the majority of it will be spent with your pair:

9:06 AM - Office-wide stand-up to build office cohesion and start the day off together.

9:10 AM - Team standup - discuss any blockers, choose pairs, maybe even tell a joke.

9:30-12:30 PM - Start pairing, tackle an open GitHub issue and open a pull-request.

12:30-1:30 PM - Lunch! Grab food from one of the many nearby restaurants, run an errand, or join a book club.

1:31-6:00 PM - Get back with your pair and start an acceptance test for a big feature.

While that schedule does look busy, donā€™t worry - we take ample breaks throughout the day. Take a walk to get boba, read a book on the balcony, play a game of ping pong, or chat with co-workers at the snack bar. Sustainable pace is held in high regard. We know there is a life outside of work, we want you to be able to spend time with family and friends.

*Desired Skills / Experience*

We know from experience that not ticking every box on the skills sections stops many from applying. You should apply regardless of your self-assessment because we want to hear from you.

  • Ability to dive into a large polyglot codebase and contribute as you learn
  • Being okay with the uncomfortable feeling that comes from learning new things
  • Interest in exploring new programming paradigms, languages, and patterns
  • Demonstrable ability to research problems and break them into discrete parts

*Nice to Haves*

  • BA/BS in Computer Science or related field
  • Operations or Systems Administration experience, particularly on UNIX
  • Worked with large Go/Ruby/Rails codebases
  • Used Test Driven Development (TDD) extensively
  • Worked in a pair programming environment
  • Contributed to an open source project
  • On-call experience with production grade systems
  • Has mentored others in a professional setting

Cloud Foundry engineers participate in an on-call rotation with their team to support software they work on.

Software Engineer
Risk Ledger
London, United Kingdom

October 2018
1 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old

Job Description

Risk Ledger is seeking software engineers to join our core team and take ownership of developing & shaping our platform that sits on the intersection of cybersecurity and risk management. This is an opportunity to work with the latest technologies to solve an increasingly important problem, and to have an outsized impact on a product early in its lifecycle.

We are looking for an amazing and talented team from a diverse set of backgrounds and skillsets to help us grow and build a truly special company, from scratch. The main focus of the role will be on backend development, but to excel you should be comfortable up and down the stack - itā€™s all hands on deck at this stage, so youā€™ll need to be ready and willing to delve into the front-end, ship new functionality, and be involved in the product development, improving and learning as we go.

What youā€™ll be doing:

  • Building our systemā€™s backend, primarily in Go. If youā€™re a fast learner and keen to work with Go in production, weā€™d love to speak with you;
  • Developing and fleshing out our API. Weā€™ll be ingesting a lot of data from our clients and their supply chain, so having a robust API is key to taking the stress out of our customersā€™ lives;
  • Getting your code, and that of the team, into production - hopefully continuously and bug-free!
  • Helping to expose the backend functionality in the frontend when necessary. The UI is built in HTML, CSS and JavaScript using Vue.js, so you should be confident enough to understand how everything fits together and be happy to make improvements where appropriate.
  • Working closely with the customer relations side of the company, to ensure that weā€™re always focused on and building what is right for our clients to make their lives easier, not just ours.

What success will look like:

  • An awesome looking product, with the functionality our clients need.
  • A growing engineering team that people enjoy working with, who laugh together, know each otherā€™s strengths and get the job done.
  • A rapidly expanding customer-base who are eager to use our product, keeping us on our toes when it comes to infrastructure and scaling.

Perks & Benefits

  • The autonomy and flexibility you need to deliver the work as you see fit.
  • The opportunity to get involved with, shape and lead the entire process of product strategy, design and implementation.
  • The equipment you need to get the job done.
  • All the learning resources and books you want to aid in your personal development.
  • Generous EMI stock options.
  • 32 days of holiday a year - take a break, enjoy yourself!
  • Up to an additional 30 days of unpaid leave a year to use as you wish.
  • Private health insurance.
  • Regular socials to unwind and have some fun.
