Our engineers work on a range of interesting technical problems related to building, operating, and orchestrating cloud infrastructure at scale.
The Opportunity
We are looking for an experienced distributed systems engineer. You'll play a lead role in building kubernetes-based container orchestration tools for managing and deploying our infrastructure. The goal is to simplify and accelerate how our software is built, deployed, and operated on public clouds.
Our team believes strongly in open source, and we will ultimately provide many of these tools back to the community.
In addition to having the opportunity to grow quickly within our business, you'll have the the chance to evangelize our tech online and at events, contribute to open source projects, and anything else that can add to our community.
About You
You enjoy building complex software systems, love coding, and value a highly collaborative environment. You are passionate about cloud infrastructure and building platforms/tools for fellow developers.
We value software engineering generalists with sound fundamentals and broad interests. Golang and k8s expertise is a plus, as is exposure to container management on AWS, Azure, and/or GCP.

Back-End Engineer Ravelin London, United Kingdom £40,000 to £85,000 a year
August 2018
3 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old
This job posting is no longer available
Job Description
Ravelin is looking for a senior backend engineer to lead the development of a high volume fraud technology platform within a small tech team. You will be invited and expected to have opinions about the strategic direction of the company and products, as well as leading the development team from the front. A successful candidate will be willing learning new skills (machine learning, neural networks, python, golang, cloud automation etc), turning their hand to necessary tasks and working with complete autonomy.
Responsibilities
Code for Humans
Your machine is happy if it compiles; your team is happy if they can understand what it does. Your pull requests are succinct and a pleasure to review, you have unit tests where it matters, and you understand that the code is not, in fact, the documentation.
Reliable & Resilient Software
Not for you the happy path or the assumed network. That habit of yours of assuming the worst and planning for it has earned your stripes in the world of running software at scale under real-world conditions.
Tools for the Team
Whether it's a smart command line utility or a core internal library, you excel at improving everyone's lives by removing repetition & common sources of error, and by solving hard problems in accessible ways. You build internal processes that are so reliable they melt into the background but are key to getting work done.
APIs
You've been on the receiving end of APIs good and bad, and want to delight our customers with the high quality they expect. You know that whilst everything should be JSON, sometimes you have to get your hands dirty with some SOAP for that critical integration but know how to isolate the contagion.
Requirements
Senior Backend Experience/Knowledge of
Go, Java, Python or C
AWS or GCP
Docker, Linux
NoSQL/Cassandra (not including Mongo & Redis)
PostgreSQL
Agile development
Distributed system design.
Git, CI/CD
