Job Description

Let's start with why we exist. 🧬

Fleet builds open source software to manage and secure computing infrastructure: employee laptops, cloud servers, and more. Our technology helps IT and security teams build trust within their organization, while getting their jobs done more effectively.

Fleet is an all-remote company with experienced founders, including two creators of popular open source projects and a compelling lead investor. Our business model is inspired by the success of GitLab and Elastic, and we have incredible early customers ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies with hundreds of thousands of endpoints.

What happens when you join us?

• As the first senior engineering hire, this position offers huge potential for growth.
• You will write significant open source code, merging commits in your first days at the company.
• You will work closely with the CTO and CEO to define technical and product vision.
• Over time, you will establish yourself as a leader in Fleet's growing team and user community, whether through management or expert-level individual contributions.

Why should you join us?

• Work from anywhere with good internet. (We're 100% remote. No office. No commute.)
• Help make endpoint monitoring less intrusive and more transparent.
• Safeguard the production servers and employee laptops of Earth's largest companies.
• Build greenfield features and make key technical decisions that go live in days.
• Most (if not all) of the code you write is public and highly visible at github.com/fleetdm/fleet.

Are you our new teammate?

• You are competent with source control in Git. You have great written communication skills.
• You can mentor other developers and do code reviews. Maybe you managed open source projects before; maybe you collaborated closely with more junior engineers at work.
• You look forward to working with designers to improve the user experience of stuff you work on.
• You bring senior talent to our team and open source community, with 4+ years of equivalent experience.
• Nice to have: Experience working on an all-remote, distributed team.
• Nice to have: Experience working in IT operations and/or cybersecurity.
• Nice to have: Experience working with Mobile Device Management (MDM) APIs.
• Nice to have: Experience deploying/monitoring/managing containers with Docker/K8s.

Engineering foundations

An ideal senior candidate has 4+ years equivalent experience in one or more of Fleet's three engineering foundations (and interest in digging into the others). (See https://fleet-device-management.breezy.hr/p/da3e70892475 for more information on that.)

For now, let's focus on Golang:

Fleet’s server is written in Go with go-kit. Deployments range from single servers to over 100,000 clients connected to horizontally scaled Fleet servers, handling tens of thousands of requests per minute. We aim to keep Fleet’s deployment as simple as possible to ease self-hosted deployment. MySQL and Redis are used for persistence and caching.

• Experience building scalable, production quality servers.
• Ability to recommend and implement backend testing patterns (E2E tests, etc.)
• Familiarity with server and SQL performance profiling and optimization.
• Familiarity with database migration strategies.
• Nice to have: Experience programming with Go and go-kit.
• Nice to have: Experience with Redis and/or MySQL.
• Nice to have: Experience deploying and operating hosted SaaS services.
• Nice to have: Experience working with Mobile Device Management (MDM) APIs.
• Nice to have: Experience deploying/monitoring/managing containers with Docker/K8s

If you think you might be a fit for our team, we would love to meet you! Please introduce yourself, tell us a little bit about your Golang experience, and let's talk!

Sincerely,

CTO Zach Wasserman (osquery) and CEO Mike McNeil (Sails.js)
