Job Description
We're building a unified developer experience to help software teams move faster and stay focused on achieving their goals. Over the past decades, software development has grown in importance inside organizations and with it there has been a Cambrian explosion of tooling. While each tool is great at what it does, they live in their own silos and weren’t built to work together. These silos lead to disconnected workflows, context switching, and difficulty finding information. Our vision is to build a better way to get work done. Summon brings together your tools and data into one blazingly fast, native experience. We’re just getting started and our ambition is bold: build the best platform for software teams to get their work done.
We love what we do and are motivated by working on a product we love using ourselves. You would have an immediate impact as a builder to influence engineering and the direction of the product. You join as a founding engineer and have full ownership working closely with our founders and a team of super talented developers.
Who we’re looking for
We are looking for a full-time backend engineer. Our ideal candidate has 5+ years of experience building event driven microservices or service oriented architectures and has built most facets, if not all, in a "twelve-factor" app. Preference is for real experience (2+ years) in our primary language of Golang, but other languages are considered when able to quickly pick up new technologies. Additional experience in integrating with 3rd party systems, event-driven architecture, databases, and cloud services (AWS, GCP, etc) are important.
You will directly influence how and what to build, and must be comfortable collaborating on the architecture, code, product, etc as we have a strong culture of devops as well as being technically curious, thoughtful and purposeful in what we build. We value deploying frequently with well-written, maintainable, instrumented and tested code to a kubernetes cluster.
Responsibilities:
Develop new products and features in a small team
Collaboration with the team to solve technical problems and help shape the product direction
Provide technical input and knowledge to the planning, design, and requirements process for new products and features
Review other software engineers' code for correctness, style, and completeness
Support your team's production software by responding to an occasional alert or bug report
Write integration tests and work with our product team to ensure the operation and correctness of new features
Requirements:
5+ years of backend engineering in a distributed systems
2+ years in Golang or 5+ using several languages you were able to quickly pick up
Strong knowledge of a variety of database systems (Graph, relational etc.)
Experience working with 3rd party APIs and OAuth
Comfortable with strong dev ops culture
Strong communication skills in English and experience working as part of a remote team
Need to be located in timezones UTC-4 through UTC-8 (The Americas)
Excited to travel internationally for company retreats (twice a year)
Favorite Ted Lasso quote
Why join us?
We love what we do: designing and building great products. But our work isn't the only thing that defines us. We're not trying to create some semi-cult to get people to work here. We simply enjoy working together and building useful and beautiful software for our customers. We’re a venture-backed startup and are looking for someone who is excited about the early stages of building a product and having a tangible impact on the company’s success.
You would join a group of repeat founders. We have founded startups backed by top Silicon Valley VCs. While getting huge amounts of venture capital has its advantages, it also puts a company on a very narrow success path. We want to do it a little differently this time. Where raising money and growth is balanced with the goal of being default-alive and capital-efficient. Which gives us optionality and lets us build the company we want to build over the long run.

Job Description
Backend Software Engineer - Remote in US or In Office (UT, PA, CA)
**Senior, Staff, and Sr. Staff levels **
Nav is democratizing small business financing. In other words, we give small business owners access and control. Yes, this challenges the norm, but it means working with curious, purpose driven, dedicated, and inquisitively smart people who push themselves, our company and the community to the next level (and every level after that). We are the people behind the tech. And when it’s good, we look for better. We don’t over think the value we bring nor spend time trying to revamp mantras. We also do not come up with some crafty way to tell you who we are and what we offer. We are Nav! Here, you’ll gain a wealth of experience, learn the tricks of the trade, and work with winners. All companies say people are connected to their mission but in our case our mission and our people are one – it is a way of being not just a cause you are committed to. And since 2013, Nav has holistically and organically developed its own ideology because Nav can only be Nav.
WHAT WE EMPOWER YOU WITH:
Build and scale services that integrate with banking data vendors, Salesforce, and other internal services. Our focus is in Go, but we support other services in languages such as Ruby, Elixir, and Python.
Optimize Nav’s customer experience, from first contact, through sign-up, and applying for loans and credit cards.
Build the framework that Nav’s solutions (credit reports, alerts, financing marketplace) plug into.
Turn business requirements into technical solutions.
Help establish best practices within Nav's growing Engineering organization.
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE:
A track record of successfully delivering maintainable backend systems in a Linux environment.
Experience programming in Go, Ruby, or Elixir. Active interest in learning new paradigms and languages.
Relentless problem solver.
WHO YOU ARE:
You uplift those around you.
You’ve got great verbal and written communication skills.
You’ve got amazing relationship-building and relationship-management skills.
You are comfortable working on complex projects with multiple stakeholders.
You have a bias for action, a “driver” that gets stuff done, using analytical thinking.
You are comfortable with ambiguity, ability to change course quickly based on new insights.
INCLUSION AT NAV:
At Nav, we celebrate what makes our employees unique because the businesses we serve are progressively diverse and distinctly original. Navericks are diverse, side hustlers, immigrants, veterans, queer, and we push generational boundaries. We are college dropouts, PhDs, special needs parents, allies, pet owners and community leaders. Navericks are human. We are committed to upholding a safe, supportive environment where everyone matters. We are committed to making a better future for all of us. We have created a workplace where people of all backgrounds can express their identities authentically. To put it simply we want you to be proud to be you.
OUR COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY IS SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL:
We believe great, enduring relationships are grounded in trust and transparency.
Compensation shouldn’t be a distraction, and employees should understand how pay and career advancement decisions are made.
Providing equal pay for equal work is table stakes for being a great place to work.
Gender and ethnic inequity should only be something that our children read about in history books.
We believe providing Navsters with company ownership, competitive pay, and a range of meaningful benefits is the start of creating a culture where people want to give the best they’ve got — not because they’re simply making money, but because they’ve fallen in love with our vision, mission, values, and team.
OUR IMPACT ON YOU:
Competitive Pay
Company Ownership
Unlimited Vacation
Benefits Day One
6 Weeks Paid Parental Leave
Work From Anywhere (yes we were distributed before it was cool)
Flexible Work Arrangements
Free Telehealth and Telemental Health For All Employees
Employee Networking and Events
Community Network Groups (women’s, PRIDE, culture)
Meaningful Perks and Rewards
Learning and Development Opportunities
Pet Insurance
A NAVERICK’S DNA:
We look at the future and say “why not”; we see possibilities where others see problems or routines
We show the way ahead and are committed to achieving ambitious goals.
We practice straight talk and listen generously to each other with empathy
We value different opinions and point of views
We ensure that we connect outside as well as inside to learn from others and inspire each other.
We hold ourselves accountable for delivering results
We choose to not to be a victim of circumstance.
We make decisions & take responsibility so that we can act & support each other, rather than adopting defensive, and “finger pointing” behaviors.
As leaders we motivate & engage our teams to undertake beyond what they originally thought possible, by developing our teams & creating the conditions for people to grow and empower themselves through enabling & coaching.

Either way, you are a great detective and passionate about pushing the performance of your infrastructure to its limits, without compromising on safety or stability.
We are also looking for:
Strong communication skills.
Experience with performance and load testing.
You should be motivated by a desire to solve the most important problems, obtain unprecedented results, and push your methods to their maximal performance.
Responsibilities
* Optimize Tendermint consensus protocol codebase for speed, reliability and performance, including making PRs as needed to the OSS Tendermint project
* Troubleshoot reliability issues of distributed systems, e. g. connection losses between Tendermint nodes under heavy load
* Monitor the infrastructure and blockchain performance to identify issues

* Guide protocol design decisions
Requirements
* 1+ years experience with Golang, C or C++
* 4+ years of experience in a systems engineering role

About Swish
Launched in February 2013, Swish is a fast-growing business with an innovative working culture and teams spanned across the world with teams in Toronto, San Francisco, Berlin, Auckland, Bruxelles, Medellin, and more.
We create products for successful business using cutting-edge technologies: Blockchain, Machine Learning, and Apps Dev. Working with Swish puts you in contact with prestigious brands, wherever your base is. We are a 100% remote-work company because we believe it is everyone’s choice to live and work the way they prefer.
Work is organized in sprints - 2 weeks periods to which, as a member of our talent community, you choose to commit. You always have the choice to accept or decline a sprint, or take-on multiple sprints simultaneously.
We let members choose what suits them best depending on their current situation: family, travel, studies, finance. We know life is not linear and we respect the humans behind the screens.
Our work ethic relies on six core values: Transparency, Directness, Meritocracy, Autonomy, Responsibility, Continuous Learning.
Ensuring a diverse and inclusive workplace where we learn from each other is core to our values. We welcome people of different backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives. We are an equal opportunity employer and a fun place to work.
Stream uses Go for our video SFU & chat API. We power chat for many large apps like Strava, Nextdoor, Patreon, IBM, Adobe and Midjourney. In addition to Go we use CockroachDB/Postgres, and Redis.
We are willing to train you on Go if you’re experienced on a different tech stack (we have a 10-week internal onboarding program focused on Go, scalability etc.). Solid engineering experience and motivation to learn is more relevant than prior experience with the language. Roles open from entry level to director/principal go engineers. Remote (EU) or Amsterdam (relocation and Visa sponsorship available).
Hybrid policy: applicants based in the Netherlands or relocating here, are expected to work in the office in Amsterdam 3 times per week. Exemptions may apply to specific cases.
