Rigado
Portland, Oregon, United States
$140,000 to $160,000 a year
June 2022
10 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old

Job Description

About the job

Excited about working in the IoT space?

We devise and build creative, scalable, and maintainable solutions to address real pain points endemic to companies that use IoT devices as an integral part of their business. Whether those devices are used to monitor room occupancy and temperature, track inventory, or provide alerting for physical states, they need to be managed, updated, and monitored in a secure and robust way. Rigado's products meet this need.

The Tech

We're building a distributed system in Go (Golang) to manage devices on the edge, so our systems must function effectively in the absence of a fat, stable pipe between the server and the client. The system extends from the backend in the cloud down to actual management devices, so we've got software, firmware, and hardware engineers all working in tandem. No experience with the other areas of engineering required for this software position; what IS required is that your interest is piqued to learn more about them!

Concerned about “Checking all the Boxes?”

Please apply -- even if you don't feel you meet every single requirement. What's most important to us is finding authentic, interested and motivated people who are excited about the IoT space, not just candidates who check off all the boxes. Use a cover letter or send a note that helps highlight why YOU think you should be considered for this role.

What Makes you Successful in this Role at Rigado

Curiosity, empathy, ownership, and a fondness for collaboration.

If you're eager to both learn from and teach fellow engineers and non-engineers alike, build excellent products for customers, and dive headfirst into unfamiliar technology, approaches, and challenges, you’re halfway there!

  • Experience designing and building distributed systems, AKA “Microservices” architecture
  • Some experience with PostgreSQL
  • Commitment to writing stable and maintainable software that's tested and well documented
  • Understanding of how to use metrics, monitoring, and alerting to ensure system health
  • Experience with continuous integration and automation (CI/CD)
  • Experience building from requirements and/or concept to production

Bonus Items

  • Understanding of networking (OSI, TLS, HTTP) - NTH
  • Experience at successful startup
  • Experience at a successful startup
  • Experience using Go (Golang)
  • Familiarity with Linux (embedded or otherwise)
  • Experience with Azure and/or Kubernetes

We're Building a Team in addition to Building Software.

We value and seek inclusion and diversity on our teams and at Rigado. We are committed to pushing a sea change on that front and we are committed to the work. This is a new, burgeoning area of technology that we're driving, so there's a lot of room to help shape the future of software - and the world - at Rigado!

Benefits

  • Health Insurance (Vision, Dental, Medical)
  • 20 days of flexible paid time off (FTO) per year
  • 13 company holidays
  • Employer sponsored 401(k) plan (Rigado contributes 3%, regardless of your contribution)
  • Wellness reimbursement up to $100/month

Location

This is a hybrid position, based in Portland, OR. A remote option may work, however, depending on your location (CA, CO and OR).

Remote (United States, Canada)
$100,000 to $150,000 a year
January 2022

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.
