Role Overview:
You are someone who loves building software that people genuinely love using. You want to make things that excite people. That add joy to their daily lives. And you want to do it with people who are working towards a common goal and see your success as their success. You will be joining a team that values getting things done, helping others get things done, and building towards an amazing future.
Our customers are designers and engineers who care about the details, the small stuff. Every bit of the customer experience is important and we’re not just talking about features. Every bit of friction is something that gets in the way of creativity and innovation. Our job is to foster both of those things.
You like to go really deep because you love to unravel things, both to understand how they work and to use them beyond what others thought was possible. You love both new and interesting things, but also things that are proven to work because you’ve been burned by the new and shiny before. You aren’t afraid to tackle any problem head on with the support of talented people to help. You enable people to do their best and achieve things together they never thought possible. Because you care. Because you genuinely want to deliver something that people love.
If that sounds like you, we want you here. We need you here! We have super ambitious goals that we think will genuinely make a difference for our customers. You’ll help us achieve those goals.
Responsibilities:
Provide services that are used by all InVision's products and teams
Continuously deliver solutions using Go, Kafka, SQL, MongoDB, Docker, Kubernetes, and more

Loves to code, to write tests, and to problem solve and debug
Learns continuously
Creates a positive environment for the people around you
Designs performant systems for high throughput workloads

Backend Engineer Resin London, United Kingdom / Remote $53,000 to $58,000 a year
August 2018
8 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old
Job Description
Resin.io provides a software platform that helps developers build, deploy and manage code on connected devices. We brought Docker to embedded GNU/Linux devices in 2013 and have been building our IoT toolkit ever since. We also maintain a variety of successful open source projects including Etcher, Balena, and resinOS, and made contributions to high-exposure projects such as Docker, Electron, and AppImage.
Our technology is open, standards-based, and proven in production across a wide range of scenarios from drones, 3D printers, point-of-sale devices, tidal turbines, skyscrapers and more. Our investors include DFJ, Aspect Ventures, GE, and Ericsson.
Resin is a highly distributed, remote-friendly company with a pretty much flat hierarchy. Our organization is adaptive, getting feedback signals from our users and systems. Right now we organize ourselves by projects, which allow us to build complex features and solve big problems, while staying mutable. As a distributed group, we rely on clear communication and the rule of "assume positive intent" to help us work together across time zones, cultures and first languages. Our base of operations is nominally London, though really we are living all over the world: from Barcelona to Bulgaria, Argentina to Vietnam, and many more.
On being a Backend Engineer at resin.io
We maintain a service infrastructure for IoT devices, and this is where we have quite a bit of our engineering talent. You will be actively working on one or more of these core components, fixing bugs, solving complex technical problems, and implementing user-facing features across the resin.io stack. While resin.io focuses on IoT, the majority of our engineers don't require embedded programming expertise.
People who are successful engineers are well-rounded generalists and great communicators. They are eager to take responsibility for a project, and are able to make good decisions about the project because they have the context of what's important.
We don't require engineers to be already familiar with the technologies we use. We are happy to invest in people that showcase a strong understanding of the challenges of building secure distributed systems.
Responsibilities
Actively invest back in our own technology, libraries, and frameworks
Understand security best practices and strive to apply them in your work
Be highly motivated to produce great code
Evaluate customer requirements and other inputs to determine the scope and timing of new functionality
Design, architect, and own the execution of your projects
Ensure the architecture of our distributed system remains cohesive
Collaborate, brainstorm, and coordinate work with other resineers
Understand the high-level goals, and thus know how to prioritize your work
Challenge orthodoxy when that will help the product evolve
Work efficiently with a certain amount of ambiguity in the tasks you're executing
REQUIREMENTS
Need to have:
Desire to make yourself and others more effective. You'd be bothered by an inefficient process
Good understanding of software engineering practices and how to apply them
Excellent written communication skills, and fluency in English
Self-discipline to take on a project and push it to completion without too much management. You also know when to ask for help
Strong problem-solving abilities. You know how to split a complex problem into incremental pieces
Basic front-end development skills
Nice to have:
A sample of your work (URL or attached sample)
Contributions to OSS projects (please include a URL)
Having worked remotely before
Experience with Resin.io as a user
Experience with embedded GNU/Linux, anything ranging from personal projects with a Raspberry Pi to commercial or industrial scenarios with custom devices
Experience with React, Node.js, Docker, PostgreSQL, or Kubernetes
Experience with embedded development and microprocessors
Experience with the Electron framework and cross-platform development
Experience leading software projects in the open source world
Make sure to let us know if any of these items apply to you!
Perks & Benefits
Work with an extremely talented, diverse team
Equipment of your choice
Remote-friendly
Flexible working hours
Flexible vacation policy
