Job Description
Who we are
Drip is the world’s first ECRM: an Ecommerce CRM that enables retailers to build personal and profitable relationships with their customers at scale. We believe the world needs specialty retail, and Drip is the platform that enables competition with the impersonal Ecommerce giants. We are well funded, growing super fast and building a beautiful product. We have offices in Minneapolis and Greater Salt Lake. www.drip.com/about
About the role
As a Software Engineer on Drip’s email team you will be part of a brand new team focussed on high scale email deliverability. This will include using data science and creating microservices that help us get nimble in our email operations. Most importantly, you will be working arm in arm with a passionate group of people, in your team and across the organization, that strive to make impacts on a world-first product! The contributions include:
Focus on designing and implementing systems for scalability, testability, supportability and maintainability
Build and improve advanced email features like email tracking and sequences
Be a force of change - help scale us from a monolith to a microservice environment
Along with your team, ensure our deliverability services are operating reliably in production
Work across teams to design and architect next generation services and systems
The role is based in the Salt Lake City area. We will offer relocation to Utah, which is home to world class skiing, mountain biking and climbing.
About you
You’re a self-starting engineer who loves technology! You have experience in building either complex SaaS applications or B2C sites. Ideally both, as our Drip engineering team stretches in both directions. You also have experience architecting scalable applications including microservices. Sound like you?
Our dream pick has:
A bachelor's degree or equivalent in computer science (isn’t required, but is extra points!)
2+ years experience in building SaaS or B2C systems
Experience with modern technologies for building micro-services - Golang, Node.js, or other languages
Experience working with relational and other database technologies
Comfortability working on an Agile team
Solid knowledge and standing within the email deliverability community
The ability to troubleshoot inbound and outbound email performance
Perks & Benefits
This is a great opportunity to build a new team in a successful, fast-growing venture-backed company. This person will help us dominate this new E-commerce category as an ECRM platform.
We consider working for a successful startup to be a lifestyle choice rather than a job choice. You will work hard and face exciting challenges, but our positions come with amazing advantages and fulfillment! Bring your best self to the table and we’ll return the favor with:
Very competitive pay, equity, and benefits with up to 100% company-paid premium
Actual work/life balance with unlimited vacation
401k company match
A flexible schedule
A fully-stocked snack bar and drink fridge to keep you fueled
Relocation reimbursement, as needed. Please note that residence in or relocation to Minneapolis or Salt Lake area Utah is our one non-negotiable
Challenging and meaningful problems to solve - you will invariably make a difference and impact
A vibrant and devoted team, who finds tons of time for fun
Finally, no politics and no jerks
At Drip, we strive to create an inclusive workplace that upholds the dignity of all people. We value, respect, and celebrate everyone’s individualities and honor their unique strengths from all different walks of life. We believe that embracing the diversity of thought and perspective encourages collaboration that leads to product (and people!) innovation, diverse products and a successful business.
Backend Developer Foam Remote (United States, Canada) $100,000 to $150,000 a year
January 2022
3 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old
This job posting is no longer available
Job Description
tl;dr: We're looking for an excellent engineer with solid Go experience to join our small, distributed development team. We're in Los Angeles, San Francisco & Paris; substantial time-zone overlap with CET (Paris) is key because our lead frontend engineer lives & works there.
Who we are
At Synthro, we are creating Foam, a new paradigm to collect, organize, create, and share your data, to help people think better together.
While we have developed core elements of the experience, we have many technical challenges ahead. Our team collaborates and leverages process, automated testing and group decision-making to get stuff done.
Our technology environment is Linux based, runs in AWS and utilizes Go, React, and JavaScript. We are leveraging an array of AWS services to deliver our solution and extensively take advantage of open-source solutions.
We're in the scrappy startup phase: we all work from home, even before the pandemic.
Role overview
We're hiring a Backend Developer to work with our team. You will focus on the backend for our web app. You will work closely with our frontend developer and be responsible for the API, data models, architecture, and AWS environment.
We love junior developers, but this role is for someone senior.
About you
Here's how to tell if you'd be a good fit for this job.
Must-haves
You've built and shipped Go services (RESTful, HTTP), preferably something you can share with us
You dream in idiomatic Go (2+ years experience highly desired)
You don’t feel like you’re done until you have 85% unit test coverage
You have solid knowledge of Postgres, specifically stored procedures & triggers
You have solid working knowledge of core AWS services (ECS, EC2, RDS, S3, Cloudfront, Route 53)
Your git history reflects you’re an excellent written (and verbal) communicator
Nice-to-haves
You have worked from home or remotely for a distributed team
You have experience with infrastructure-as-code (we use Terraform on AWS)
You live in or within an hour of CET (Paris)
Why you might want to work with us
We're small, so there are no layers of bureaucracy to work through. You can have a huge impact here.
We have as few meetings as we can get away with.
You can work remotely as long as you have substantial overlap with our primary time zones, Pacific and Central European. We call these “office” hours.
Outside of “office” hours, you can work whenever you like.
Why you might not want to work with us
We’re a startup, with all the good and bad that comes with that.
We’re a small team. At the end of the day, you need to be able to solve your own problems.
You own the infrastructure so you need to deal with it when it breaks.
Pay
We're looking for someone great, not someone cheap. If you're expensive but amazing, we can probably make it work.

Description of the culture/company
A company’s culture is always a work-in-progress. Ours is founded upon a professional atmosphere where people get passionate about learning and doing our best.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
We've raised over $50MM from Accel, EQT Ventures, Menlo, and 100s of angels (like Adam Grant).
Why did these world-class VCs and angels want in on Knoetic?
Because we’re building a “brain” for Chief People Officers that enables them to build healthy, productive, equitable workforces – and ultimately shapes the future of work.
How does it work?
The “left brain” is Knoetic Analytics – the quantitative insights. We integrate with HR systems (HRIS, recruiting platforms, performance platforms, etc), ingest all that disparate employee data, manipulate it via a complex transform process, and then push insights back to the customer in a user-friendly way. Chief People Officers use Knoetic Analytics to visualize their workforce, prepare for Board meetings, influence their executive team, workforce plan, uncover performance trends, and much more.
The “right brain” is CPOHQ – the qualitative insights. Chief People Officers join our executive community to tap the wisdom of their peers, find best practices, workshop pressing business challenges, and make meaningful connections. The role of the CPO has never been more complex, and CPOHQ is where they turn to inform the decisions that impact their employees.
By bringing Analytics & CPOHQ together, we give CPOs and their People teams a holistic view of what drives employees to come, stay, and feel valued at work. This is a platform unlike any other.
That’s where you come in!
We’re building a diverse team of Knoeticons who can thrive in our culture. If you're motivated to improve the work lives of millions of people as part of an ambitious and collaborative team, we'd love for you to join us on this ride :)

Onboard and learn more about the company’s mission, culture, and values. You’ll write a user manual and a Professional Development Plan outlining exactly how you want to grow professionally over the next 1-2 years.

Deploy your first Pull Request to production
Within your first month, you will:

If this sounds like an amazing opportunity for you, apply now, and let's shape the future of work together!
The key attributes we value in teammates:
You like to win. You run through walls to achieve your goals, and you don't settle for participation trophies.

You never say, “that’s not my job” - you take full ownership and responsibility over outcomes. You’re a force of nature that gets the job done no matter what it takes.
You make everyone else on the team better. Your presence, positivity, and drive inspire others to step up their game. You put the company above your own wants.
