Backend Go Developer Geckoboard London, United Kingdom £40,000 to £61,000 a year
August 2018

More Than 6 Months Old

Job Description
At Geckoboard we help businesses use their data to align their teams on the metrics that matter most to them. We’ve been busy reimagining the way our customers get their data in Geckoboard and have a lot of interesting and creative work to do to shape their experiences. Right now, we’re looking for curious problem solvers to help us on this journey.
What are we working on?
We've completely rebuilt how data gets into Geckoboard from third-party APIs, thanks to a query planner that's written entirely in Go. Our query planner takes in the metrics that a customer would like to track, and produces a plan for how to fetch and transform those metrics from a third-party JSON API such as Zendesk, Intercom, Google Analytics, etc.
We’re now working on extending this platform and building various microservices for tracking our customers' rate limits and scheduling metric refreshes in the most efficient way possible. We’re also creating a caching engine that ensures we don't waste precious API calls on data that we know hasn't changed since last time.
The team are also in the middle of splitting up our existing REST APIs into gRPC microservices with segregated data stores. Which is a huge opportunity for us to rethink some of the fundamental assumptions about Geckoboard's data model and how we can re-architect our systems for greater reliability and to enable us to ship with more confidence.
We don’t expect you’ll have worked on all of these kinds of projects before, but if they take your fancy and you’re excited about working on distributed systems and database technologies at scale, we’d love to hear from you.
As one of our Backend Go Developers:
You’ll be writing in Golang on a day-to-day basis.
You will help architect, design, and build Geckoboard’s data pipeline.
You’ll maintain and optimise our existing infrastructure and services.
You will get involved in the prioritising and evaluation of our work.
You’ll pair with team members and get involved in code reviews.
Joining us in our London office, you’ll be working alongside a growing team of empowered engineers, with a focus on building a high quality product our customers love, work life balance and personal development.
Thousands of businesses use Geckoboard to build live TV Dashboards that focus teams on what matters. We take the complexity out of connecting data and make it simple for anyone to understand key metrics at a glance. We have pre-built integrations with 60+ tools including Google Analytics, Salesforce, Zendesk, Intercom and Google Sheets and our customers include Marketo, Slack, and Skyscanner.
In our mission to make data useful, our growing team of 40+ is headquartered in London and span across eight time zones - from Mumbai to London, San Francisco to Hawaii and more. We're always looking for people with diverse backgrounds who bring unique perspectives and skills to join our team and in return we constantly strive to ensure that we offer the most encouraging, inclusive, and efficient environment possible.
We don't just pay lip service to work-life balance, we actively and strongly encourage it. Flexible working hours and the ability to regularly work from home lets you work in a way that fits you and your family. We see our contractual obligation to offer 25 days of paid holiday as a minimum for everyone in the organisation, not a limit.
We actively contribute to professional development, courses, conferences, and books. Our Engineering & Product team also run fortnightly "Innovation Wednesdays", where everyone has complete freedom to work on anything that interests them, from contributing to open source, to learning a new skill, or improving our internal tools and processes.
We’re looking for a full-stack developer/software engineer who wants to do something extraordinary. We take pride in pushing the boundaries of engineering, technology and customer experience.
You’ll have a passion for great coding, an ability to plan out and work with high volumes of data to join our growing team of existing developers!
All in all, we process over 4 billion products daily, throwing up a volume, depth and complexity of data that few can match. And through the insights gained, we build scalable, high-performance products using cutting-edge technology that drive forward online retail growth.
Redbrain, Europe’s biggest Google Shopping partner. We’re absolutely smashing it in the UK and across Europe last year alone driving over £500 million in incremental sales to over 5,000 retailers.
This is an opportunity to join a team of talented problem solvers, looking at untangling complex problems and finding simple solutions. Through your work, you will have a direct impact on how the world's leading retailers grow their online sales.
We believe engineers write code for other engineers and not just for machines, therefore we celebrate clean and smart code!
If you’re keen to support us on our mission to build the world’s best incremental sales engine, take a look at what we have on offer.
Job is linked to our Birmingham office, we're Remote first with 1 office day every two weeks.
Here are a few of the tools and methodologies we utilise:
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll be part of one of our Engineering teams, creating great products by interpreting and following best practice architectural and engineering principles, operating frameworks, and new and improved tech applications and solutions.
You’ll own the design and development of large-scale high-performance services using technologies such as Golang & Kubernetes.
You will be a great team player, providing and seeking useful feedback from other members of their team, and seeking opportunities to help out within the wider business.
The software engineer will be able to manage their own workload, estimate tasks well and prioritise when issues arise.
We’re looking for someone who cares deeply about building flawless product features while challenging our thinking on software architecture.

Working remotely: The Third Light development team embraced remote working a few years ago and now has workers in more than one country. We strive to provide a friendly, fun, supportive remote-working culture and we refine our processes to make remoting easier. We will welcome your ideas and contributions. We provide computing equipment and cover reasonable costs incurred from running a home office.
Normally, as a new starter, you'd come to the office for a few weeks to get to know each other. Due to Coronavirus you will no-doubt join us remotely, at least temporarily, which will bring interesting challenges in how best to introduce you to, and integrate you into, the development team—how to train you, how to help familiarise yourself with our systems and ways of working. We see this as an interesting challenge so we’re working it out at the moment. We're planning a fully-remote ‘onboarding’ process with team meetups, one-to-one sessions and pair programming as well as online social gatherings for you when you join.
If you'd prefer to primarily work from our office this option will still be available to you after lockdown.
Comnoco is a young SaaS company with an enterprise grade product. We’ve built (in Go) a way to program backends without writing code. Users can create APIs and functions as a service as well as visually build amazing PDFs and other communications.
We’re looking for an experienced Golang developer to join us on this journey and be a part of our core early team.
Our high-level tech stack is Go, speaking gRPC between microservices and gRPC-web to our frontend which is written in Typescript and Vue. PostgreSQL, Bolt & Minio cover storage and the Ory.sh stack covers everything identity & Auth.
For deployment we’re looking to implement Infrastructure as Code (probably Pulumi) on Kubernetes (on one of the usual cloud platforms; AWS, Google Cloud, Azure etc).
If you’re into the same/similar tech stack this could be for you. We aren’t mandating minimum experience, we know it’s about your ability and interest not necessarily the years served.
A significant portion of the development has been done, we need someone to join our existing friendly team and help us build on this foundation.
This is a fun project, and we believe you’d be hard pushed to find another one as interesting or with the same opportunity for professional development.
We value honesty, kindness, fun, collaboration and people who love tech. 🤓
We’re an equal opportunity employer and have always had a diverse team.
The role is full time and fully remote (even post Covid) but you need to be UK based and eligible to work in the UK.
