Golang/Rust/Postgres Developer for Algorithmic Trading Company (Zurich)
This is not a typical company. You will be working with one other developer who will also be managing you and reviewing your code at the moment. That is me.
I am based in Switzerland though I am an American.
I want to reduce tasks to simple, well defined programs (where possible which is most places)
There are many aspects of an automated trading system that need to recur (e.g. ingestion of historical market data). If these "aspects" are broken down into many small parts, if one has a problem the others will still be running so most of the other programs can continue. If there are say 3 large programs and one fails, then the whole system must stop.
I am a developer myself so understand how to convey engineering requirements.
I am flexible about software language, to an extent. I am learning Rust so if a small program can be written in Rust I am open to it. I also want to learn other programming languages over time. So if you are into Clojure or Haskell it could be interesting to wade into those waters over time
Strong analytical and problem skills are a huge plus
Massive bonus points if you know Python/Matplotlib – data analysis stuff
Here's the standard jobbledygook stuff:
Job Description: This algorithmic trading company seeking a skilled Golang Developer to join our company. The ideal candidate will have a strong knowledge of Golang, Postgresql, and working with Linux, as well as a strong ability to work independently, remotely. Great if you like Rust and want to code in it too
Responsibilities:
1. Develop, maintain, and optimize scalable and secure backend services using Golang for our algorithmic trading platform
2. Write numerous microservices that repeatedly update various aspects of our trading system
3. Troubleshoot and debug production issues as they arise
Requirements:
1. Proficiency in Golang, with a strong emphasis on writing clean, efficient, and maintainable code
2. Experience working with Postgresql, including database design, performance tuning, and optimization in a trading context
3. Familiarity with Linux and working in a command-line environment
4. Strong problem-solving and communication skills
5.
Location and Compensation: This is a full-time mostly in-person position (being in an office is required most days of the week) based in Zürich. The salary for this position ranges from 80,000-110,000CHF per year, depending on experience and qualifications.
The language is English. You must be fluent or near fluent in English.
If you meet these requirements and are interested in this position, please submit your application along with your CV and cover letter. We are excited to hear from you and discuss how your skills can contribute to our development team.

Job Description
Okta's Developer Experience team is looking for an experienced engineer with a love for the Go language, and a desire to work on open source SDKs that will delight our developer community. In this role you will have influence over our Go community strategy, which has a large base of developers working in the Dev Ops arena. Developers building on Okta want tools, written in Go, to facilitate their roll out of applications that leverage Okta as the underlying identity platform.
We currently offer a Go Management SDK, and a Terraform provider. In this role you will have ownership over these SDKs, as well as future SDKs that we create.
Okta's identity platform allows developers at companies of all sizes to integrate modern authentication features and workflows into their own applications.

In this role you will be working on the leading edge of our Open Source Software (OSS) program and will gain invaluable experience with library design and development, as well as interacting with a community of engaged developers who use your work on a daily basis. Your code will see production scale usage at many companies, being embedded directly into applications and services that enable internet scale applications with large numbers of end users. This role provides the opportunity to design right, code right, and test right, and deepen your knowledge of the Go ecosystem.
We are a polyglot team and while we are looking for a lover of Go, we also value a generalist mindset and co-learning across stacks. We work closely as a team to design solutions that work across languages and environments.
Design and build software development kits (SDKs), written in Go, for developers using the Okta APIs within their web applications and CI/CD workflows.
Interact with developers through GitHub on our open-source repositories, responding to issues and reviewing pull requests
Participate in software design and code review for all libraries that the team creates
Implement holistic testing strategies to assert we're delivering a good developer experience, including unit, integration, and end-to-end tests
Write documentation and how-to content for the libraries that you create

4+ years working as a full-stack web developer (you've written production code, been exposed to backend and frontend problems, have experience deploying your applications, and can empathize with developers across the stack.)
Intermediate to advanced knowledge of the Go language
Experience with unit and end-to-end testing
Experience working with a product-oriented, agile culture
Bonus Skills:
Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools such as Ansible, Chef, Puppet, Terraform
Expertise in other languages, such as Java and Python
Experience interacting with other developers on GitHub (e.g. opening issues, contributing to issues, contributing pull requests)

Golang Developer ActiveState Vancouver, BC, Canada / Remote $40,000 to $100,000 a year
June 2019
1 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old
This job posting is no longer available
Job Description
Are you a Golang developer that’s passionate about developer tooling? ActiveState is looking for developers to level up their end-user tooling team. This team is mainly responsible for “the State Tool”, a new command line tool we’re developing that allows you to quickly jump-start runtime environments for your projects. Backed by ActiveState’s new platform we’ll be able to provide developer tooling unlike any you’ve seen before.
If you know Python, Perl, or Tcl you've probably heard of ActiveState's language distros. Now we’re building an ambitious language distribution platform and set of tools so that coders can focus on coding and spend less time worrying about dependency hell, third party vulnerabilities, and inconsistent developer environments. We’re doing this for every language and platform on the planet (and beyond). We need your help to do it! Best of all you’ll be working on a product that you’ll use yourself daily.
This position is based out of our headquarters in beautiful Vancouver, BC. Remote work will be considered, but only for candidates in North America.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
Your job is to help us build the tools that take the pain out of developing code in teams. Our lofty goal is to replace the venerable README file with a single command. You’ll work on command line clients, editor tooling, and more. While a primary amount of your job will be described as back-end work you must be comfortable with a little front-end work as well.
When not working on code, you’ll be meeting with your team to figure out priorities, features, technical issues, etc. You’re someone with good technical knowledge who also has an interest in the end-product you’ll be building.
Our day to day work practices are centered around GitHub, pull requests, code review, CI for testing, and agile development with Pivotal Tracker as our project management tool. We’re always looking to improve our practices and we expect you to help us to do so.
We’re a polyglot company and embrace using the best language for the given task at hand. You’ll regularly find Golang, Elm, Javascript, Python, Docker, Kubernetes, DCOS, CircleCI, and other modern tools. Quality is as important as speed. We’re building for the long run, so you’ll need to be proficient in writing tests and documentation too.
Our back ends and command line tools for interacting with our Platform are written in Go. While certain extended components of the platform that you might interact with from time to time are written in Elm and Python. We’re also aiming to get a foothold in TypeScript for future editor plugin work.
The team is scattered around the US and Canada, so we coordinate with each other and the rest of the company using Slack for chat, Highfive for video calls and screen sharing, Pivotal Tracker, and the Google Suite.
We like to use open source software whenever possible, and we also like to contribute back to the open source ecosystem. We embrace open sourcing both libraries and tools developed in-house as long as those are not mission-critical code.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU
Working for a stable and growing company that offers the environment and personal growth potential of a start-up.
The chance to work with a smart, passionate team of people.
The chance to work on a project that will change the work lives of developers around the world, including your own!
Competitive salary, bonus, and stock option plan.
Comprehensive benefits package and health/wellness credit program.
REQUIREMENTS
Experience with Go.
The ability to quickly pick up new languages and technologies.
Experience with relational database (mysql, postgres, ..).
Basic knowledge of JavaScript and front end development.
Experience with all 3 major platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows).
The ability to write clean, well-tested code with clear documentation.
Excellent written and spoken skills, both technical and non-technical..
A willingness to engage in the process of defining our work through conversations with product management, other engineering teams, and the rest of the company.
The ability to help others on the team become better at their jobs through mentoring, thoughtful code reviews, and generally being a team player.
ASSETS
If you have experience with any of the following please make sure to highlight it in your cover letter:
