How we work
We work fast, grow fast, and build fast. Life at MessageBird moves in fast-forward motion. We’re a team that focuses on making an impact — right from day one. We are go-getters, industry leaders, and dreamers. Risk takers. Roll-up-your-sleeves-and-make-it-happen kind of people. We thrive on transparency, and we value solution-minded attitudes.
We are all driven by one ethos: Get Shit Done. We love shaping things together and leveraging different perspectives, because that makes our products better. Our Birds are empowered with freedom and opportunity; in return, we expect honesty, courage, and agility. We own our work, and sometimes we fail. And then we get back up and cross the finish line — together as a team. Sound refreshing? We think so, too.
The role: Senior Software Engineer Golang
Senior Software Engineers play a key role in our product engineering squads. You’ll be responsible for helping design, develop and maintain our communication products and related services. This will enable our customers to send out millions of SMS messages per day; place voice calls via our REST API; gain real-time insights using our Dashboard; and reach out to consumers via IM platforms like WhatsApp.
Our product engineering squads have the freedom and authority to create impactful products to empower both our internal and external customers. We use an agile development methodology, meaning we deploy code multiple times per day while ensuring our applications are rigorously tested and statically analyzed.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Help design and build a performant, scalable and fault-tolerant communication platform.
Team with engineers to solve system design and implementation problems (and get a thrill out of every triumph!).
Work with and enable engineers from other teams who interact with the platform.
Problem-solve issues based on business/customer need and impact, working with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Teach others: One of the most meaningful tasks of a Senior Engineer is improving the knowledge level of the team members.
You will flourish working in a hyper-growth environment where the next project is ready to be picked up.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING
At least 5 years of relevant software development experience
Strong experience in Golang is a must
Strong experience working with relational databases and non-relational data stores (like MySQL, Cassandra & Redis).
Experience with Docker, Containers and Kubernetes.
Practical and theoretical knowledge of development patterns, software architectures and design patterns (TDD, Event-Driven, SOLID, Hexagonal, DDD).
Knowledge of (cloud) infrastructure principles (load balancing, high availability, containerized services, database configurations) is a bonus.
Strong verbal and written communication skills in English.
Ability of teaching others and helping them grow.
Psst… some added perks
The ability to Work Anywhere — literally anywhere you want, as long as it’s in the same time zone as your team (yup… you read that right!). This comes with the added benefit of finding the right work-life balance for you by following our 80/20 rule.
WFH office set-up allowance to make sure you have all you need to “get shit done” in an ergonomically-friendly manner.
Top-notch work equipment (including Bose headphones!).
MessageBird swag to keep you well-dressed.
The occasional (virtual) company-wide and team events.
A team of (fast-)forward-thinking, talented and fun colleagues from more than 50 countries!
MessageBird is an equal opportunity employer. If you think you’re a match for this role and can bring some great skills to the MessageBird team, please apply! We’re excited to get to know you.

Job Description
nextmv (YC W20) is changing how companies automate and optimize their operations. We provide developers with the building blocks to create and test decision models, quickly. From logistics to healthcare to finance, every company can benefit from decision engineering using optimization and simulation. We’re looking for incredibly motivated people to help!
In a little over a year we have made substantial progress. We’re already landing enterprise clients. We’ve raised over $11 million from leading VC firms including Y Combinator, Firstmark Capital, Dynamo Ventures, and 2048 VC. And we’re just getting started.
We are looking for a DevOps Engineer II who is familiar with cloud platforms, container technology and loves automation. As the first dedicated hire supporting cloud infrastructure, internal tooling and automation you will have an impact on how we operate all our systems and services. In this role you will help build and maintain cloud infrastructure for our tools and products as well as assist with customer deployments ensuring we are following best practices and industry standards. You'll directly contribute to the success of our new hosted product by serving a hybrid DevOps / SRE function. This role will participate in our on-call rotation.
Requirements
3+ years as a software engineer, DevOps engineer, cloud engineer, site reliability engineer or systems administrator
Demonstrable experience administering AWS, especially VPCs, Lambda, RDS, S3 and IAM Roles & Policies
Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IAC) using Terraform
Excellent understanding of Docker & container technologies
Hands on experience with configuration management tools such as Ansible
Demonstrable understanding of modern software development practices including pair programming, peer reviews, Git-based workflows, continuous integration and delivery, and automated testing
Comfortable with Bash and Python
Familiarity with monitoring tools and services (DataDog)
Not required, but a plus:
Experience with Go or another statically typed and compiled language
Ability to evaluate the benefits of using in-house vs off-the-shelf solutions
Software development experience
Familiarity with on-call / incident response practices
2+ years of remote work experience
These are some of your traits:
The idea of working in a fast-paced startup environment excites you
You thrive on automating everything and adding structure to processes and procedures
Working together as a team to accomplish goals is more important than working alone
You are eager to support our customers when they have DevOps or cloud engineering questions and researching technologies to find solutions
You value simplicity over complexity
You embrace challenging technical work
You thrive on discovering and documenting simple, pragmatic solutions
You’re not afraid to speak up when you have a point of view, but can “disagree and commit” once a final decision is reached
You just read this whole list and got more excited than concerned
How we work
We are remote first
We value amazing work and a strong work-life balance. The majority of our collaboration happens on Slack and Zoom. We get together quarterly for team offsites so we can get some facetime (Covid Pending).
Salary Transparency
We believe that financial transparency creates trust, and that teams with a high level of trust are able to execute more effectively. We view salary transparency as a way to challenge a rampant problem in our industry: the wage gap. The base salary for any two employees in the same role is the same. Performance in that role is the differentiator, not upfront negotiation.
Benefits
This is a salaried role. In addition, nextmv offers:
Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
Minimum Vacation Policy - (3 weeks minimum)
Stock Option Plan
401k
Home Office Stipend
Parental Leave

About nextmv
nextmv helps companies automate and optimize even the most complicated operational decisions. The nextmv platform allows any developer to quickly build, test, and deploy models that automate routing, assignment, matching and scheduling.
Our Values
Our values are aspirational and affect everything we do. At nextmv, we hope to instill core attributes and practices into our daily lives. We will work toward these goals together, and help each other along the way.
Community
We act as a group of skilled contributors with diverse backgrounds and a common mission.
We listen to each other to actively instill empathy in ourselves.
We introspect about our actions and their impacts.
Candor
We share information, from company strategy to small insights and feedback.
We collaboratively review our decisions and code using the same process.
We own our mistakes and admit our vulnerabilities.
Focus
We are ambitious and value achievement over status.
We are innately driven to innovate and improve the world.
We apply our time and skills effectively to challenging problems.
Balance
We separate our work from our self-worth to view and improve it objectively.
We don't overwork, and take regular time away to encourage creativity.
We take care of ourselves so we can give our best to our team.
