We are looking for a Golang developer who helps us develop an MVP for a nice Infrastructure as Code project. The MVP consists of a command-line application and a REST API for managing AWS cloud infrastructure in Golang. The project is running only for a few weeks, so you'll have the opportunity to contribute a cool project right from the start!
tl;dr
Develop a Golang command-line application and a REST API
Strong focus on internal and external software quality
Ambitious project context in the AWS cloud (Infrastructure as Code, High Availability, a high degree of automation)
For 10 to 16 hours per week
We speak English and German
AWS cloud / Infrastructure as Code / Part-time / Freelance
Project Background
We are developing the prototype of an innovative product for managing cloud infrastructure. It is all about running web applications in the AWS cloud in an easy-to-use, reliable, and automated way. Our users should be able to create and maintain the resources that they need without any external help. Behind the curtains, there is a framework that manages those resources in the AWS cloud with Terraform. This concept aligns with the Infrastructure-as-Code principle, which aims at providing documented and managed-like-source-code infrastructure definitions. We set a strong focus on economic factors, in that it should be viable to run both small and large applications and to scale those applications with high load and amount of users. The platform should be highly available and self-repairing – nobody should be on-call and responsible for fixing server deployments in the middle of the night. We have already validated a solution for creating and managing such an infrastructure, and we are in the process of bringing it to life.
The Task at Hand
The platform's user interface is a command-line application which talks to the REST API, which we also develop. We want to implement these tools in Golang, and engineering has just started. We have a strong focus on software quality: in the end, we want to have a well-designed, robust software architecture with clear responsibilities and interfaces. The product should be automatically testable and maintainable for an extended period. An important factor will be integrating several data sources to deliver the right information to the user at the right time. The challenge lies in the heterogeneity and complexity of the data sources (for example, Terraform and AWS). It is also important to us that the product is intuitively usable: it should transform hosting infrastructure from a bothersome task to something fun. To achieve this, we want to gather user feedback and act on it iteratively.
Your Qualifications
You should have considerable experience with Golang and see yourself on an intermediate-to-senior level. In particular, you should engage with topics such as software architecture, testing on unit/integration/end-to-end level, and picking the right frameworks and libraries. You are also excited about clear software architecture and clean, well-maintainable code. We really care about this! ;) If you've got experience with infrastructure tools such as Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure – that's a plus, but we don't expect you to know everything. And you won't have to dive deep into all those topics (depending on your personal preferences, of course). There are more bonus points if you know how to integrate 3rd party CLI apps in a stable and reliable way.
The Scenario
You're living in Berlin, Potsdam, or somewhere nearby, and you have one to two days per week to spare. The project is sponsored by a company for digital products in Münster (Zweitag). However, there is no need to travel there because you work together with a team member who lives in Berlin. The current project is projected to take six months. If it all works out fine, we can see you being invited to work with us for longer. 🙂

Job Description
Beeswax, named one of Business Insider’s “hottest pre-IPO ad tech startups of 2016,” is looking for a Software Engineer to build and maintain the REST APIs that our customers rely on. Our goal is to offer the most extensible set of APIs in the world of online advertising. You can read more about our APIs at www.beeswax.com/docs.
Our current REST API runs on AWS ECS and is built using PHP, MySQL, and nginx. Our APIs serve internal clients in our stack written in Python, Java, and C++ in addition to external customers.
Beeswax is an engineering-led company that places high value in building great software. Because advertising is extremely high scale (millions of transactions per second) and our team is still small, Beeswax engineers are involved with difficult scale problems all the time.
This position reports to the CTO, a long-time senior engineer from Google who was a key technical lead in the process of scaling Gmail.
Responsibilities include:
Building new features for customers and internal users
Maintaining existing features and fixing issues as they arise
Architecting solutions to complex systems tasks
Testing, managing and releasing high-quality code
Working with other engineers to produce a highly-reliable and easy to use advertising API

At a high level, here's what you'll be doing:
Coding API Integrations with a bunch of systems
Expanding our own API
Development of multiple web front-end interfaces - both customer facing & internal facing
About you:
You dig Node.js, but let's be real, if you can really code, the details shouldn't matter that much
You understand [at least relational] databases and you have a good balanced idea of when to abstract
You love at least one front-end library (Angular, React, et al)
You code with a 'REST API first' mentality and front-end comes after
You see JSON blocks as art
You consider security implications while you're coding
Ideally, you'll also:
Have a systems/network background to understand the DevOps side and implications of what you're doing
Have comfort with cloud infrastructure orchestration & automation
Have some depth in cryptography and/or security
Have a passion for data and have played with D3.js or similar
Can code mobile apps for Android and iOS
You should have the following experience & education:
Just kidding. We're not going to throw out arbitrary lengths of time and list external validations and pretend that matters.
If you can do this stuff and are interested in what we're building, reach out.
Obligatory keyword skills list:
Languages: JavaScript, Go/Golang, PHP, Python
Frontend/Backend: Node.js, Agular, React, Vue, HTML, CSS

We all share the same vision - we value authenticity, respect, responsibility, independence, honesty, diversity and inclusion and most importantly treating others how you wish to be treated. We look for like-minded people who bring their personalities to work everyday, strive to achieve their personal goals and who are willing to challenge the way we do things, why? - to make what we do even better!
Our values tell the story of Tyk - here’s how:
It’s ok to screw up!
We’ve found that it’s often the ‘stupid’ or unexpected ideas that turn out to be the successful ones - so try it, at least we can say we have!
The only stupid idea, is the untested one!
It’s in our DNA - starting a business with founders 12 hours apart, giving our gateway away for free - sure, we did that, and we’d do it again!
Trust starts with you - make it count!
Trust is a two-way street - instill it from day one!
Assume best intent!
We have each other’s back - we’re all on the same team. Think before you speak or act.
Make things, better!
Always try to leave things better than when you found them - change is constant, inevitable and embraced! Be that change we want to see.
