Job Description

Please note: this position is full time and in Berlin (you need to already be in Berlin too). We don't use agencies.

Most messaging networks are created to serve their creators. Email is designed to serve humankind. For over 50 years inspired technicians have architected email to provide the greatest good to the greatest number. Their openness and design principles made email the world's #1 communication channel and identity provider with 4.2 billion users (2x Facebook). Email is a critical foundation stone of the Web.

Lightmeter is reinventing email infrastructure to overcome threats from centralised tech oligharchs like Microsoft and Google. An epic platform war is behind fought behind the scenes to wrestle control over digital comms and incorporate it into closed service platforms, where the customer is a product to be sold to the highest bidder.

We are 3 years of research and 1 year of development in to building Lightmeter Control Center - the all-in-one mailops management system repeatedly featured in Heise and ZDnet. It's fully Open Source (on GitLab) -- feel free to check the unit and user acceptance test code coverage : ) . Our engineering team has a background in embedded and fintech, with a focus on performance and feedback.

A mix of public and private funding fuels our work, and we've been recognised by the European Commission as part of 'Next Generation Internet'. We have hundreds of active users, a few of whom we interview each week, including banks, public universities, Internet Service Providers, and marketing agencies.

Our mission is to strengthen the foundations of digital society by making mailtech easy and convenient.

That’s a brief intro to what you’ll be working on. But first, you need to know if you’ll even like working with us. Let’s talk about life at Lightmeter and then we’ll go into detail about what we’re looking for.

Who you’ll be working with

One luxuary of being an early-stage team is that you get to work directly with everyone. That said, you'll be reporting to Sam, our CEO. He gets easily excited about engineering patterns and workflows, and likes bright colours and house music with vocals.

You'd work along-side Lead Developer Leandro, who calls himself a Software Craftsman, and who others call a philosopher. Leandro has deeply held unfashionable beliefs like "all code should be fast and light", and cares more about design patterns than what language he's coding in. He love the outdoors and pines for the mountains.

Suela is our Product Manager and x-ray seer of quality and value. She has a nack of turning our telescopes around, pointing out better perspectives, opportunities, and efficiencies. She's an Open Source fangirl, community organiser of the OpenLabs Hackerspace, and secretly learning Python so she can make bots to replace herself. Just kidding!

How You’ll Work at Lightmeter

We work hard to make working here a great experience, and have a team of truly exceptional people — the kind you’ll be excited to work with. You'll get to design and create new components and services, working on features like those on our roadmap (https://lightmeter.io/roadmap).

Here’s how we operate

No Crazy Hours
You'll very rarely work more than 40 hours per week, unless you really want to. Ocassionally things can heat up, but noones going to force you to work more than is comfortable. When you do work overtime you balance it out with time off afterwards. We work hard and smart, planning carefully, but we’re in this for the long haul: sustainability trumps anything short term.

Face time and alone time
Most of us have worked fully remote before and miss the benefits of face time, so we like to work together a lot of the time. However focused time alone, in cafes or home-office is nice too, so we aim for a good mix. So long as you can reach the people you need, when you need them, and vice versa, your preferences for office vs remote work shouldn't be an issue.

Take Vacation
A small team means it's easy to coordinate time off to relax and recharge. Notice you'll be away a week in advance is usually enough.

Up Your Game
We’re serious about helping you improve your craft. Everyone wins when you get better and your job, and enjoy the process. Think conferences, online courses and subscriptions, dedicated time away from work to learn something new.

Compensation and Legal
We can't currently offer you a salary to compete with Amazon or Microsoft. What we can offer you is the same salary that we are paying ourselves: €50,000 / year.

We’re an early-stage startup, funded, pre-revenue, and growing. We are owned and managed by our Founders. Making sustainable, profitable products with a committment to openness is hard; we're demonstrating how it's done. If you care deeply about digital freedom, empowerment, and collaboration, you'll probably fit right in!

What we're looking for

Lightmeter has ambitious goals and our team is growing to meet them. You're the Software Engineer we're looking for if you're collaborative, mission-motivated, creative, disciplined, and productive. (So far, so good?)

You love solving complex problems — both internally and for your users — and know what it means to build a mature, evolving product. You are more focused on the outcome than on the output of your work, and prefer to deliver something useful sooner, rather than something perfect later. You welcome feedback, and are curious about users' challenges and how to address them. You demand a lot from your colleagues and expect the same in return, taking personal pride in collective achievement.

Requirements (these are real, actual requirements)

• You must live in Berlin most of the time, so we can meet up and work together sometimes
• You must have at least five years working in the software industry, of which at least four are as a software engineer.
• You must have experience working in cross-functional teams. And we really mean that cross-functional part — in other words working directly with designers, quality assurance, product managers, or other related roles.

Our tech stack (repos: https://gitlab.com/lightmeter)

• Golang
• SQLite
• VueJS
• A little Python
• Some big data

Recommended skills

• Golang
• Git with large and distributed teams
• Linux (server and desktop) and tools such as make, SSH and shell scripting
• Docker and related technologies
• TDD and SOLID

Ideal skills

• Development of high performance, distributed systems
• Continuous integration / delivery
• Some Javascript
• Some Python
• Email related technologies, such as SMTP and Postfix
• Standard crypto libraries and principles
• VueJs
• Interest in learning (and teaching!); Rust is welcome

Work Remotely

• No

COVID-19 Precautions

• Remote interview process
• Virtual meetings

Job Description

You enjoy writing code, but in the back of your mind you’re always wondering: what problem does this solve? Who will be using this software and how will this make their work easier? You are fascinated by how your software is used and how it can be improved. You like to dive into the end users’ workflows to make them as seamless as possible. Because it’s not just about the code, it’s about the results.

You’ve found that having a robust, automated test suite frees the team to take on refactoring efforts with confidence, knowing that the system you’ve built won’t let you deploy broken software even if you try. You believe that collaborating with others makes it so that everyone learns, you build a better product, and you can sleep at night and go on vacation with the assurance that what you’ve constructed is stable.

Through the technology this team develops and runs, we're making onboarding of security tech unexpectedly simple for customers. We're also empowering our customer success team to onboard and maintain the fleet of our customers’ security devices, while being fully transparent with our customers with what we’re doing.

If this sounds like you, then we believe you'll love our team, and we’d love to talk to you!

What You Can Do For Expel

• Expand the core security device onboarding infrastructure our customers and analysts rely on 24 x 7
• Make sure our customer support staff have the tools that they need to fix problems with the array of customer security devices when they come up
• Enthusiastically reinforce our belief in good software engineering practice including code reviews and automated testing
• Add your viewpoint to our engineering culture (and especially this small team)
• Adapt to changes of direction because, hey, startup life!

What You Should Bring With You

• A desire and ability to constantly learn and improve yourself and your work products
• The ability to communicate and work effectively with others
• A track record of building maintainable systems in Linux environments
• Proficiency with at least one JavaScript framework (we use EmberJS but experience with another framework is valid)
• Proficiency with Go 
• Ideally: familiarity with cloud environments
• 3+ years of full-stack development experience

How We Run This Team

• We build and run teams where everyone is pulling in the same direction and is learning from each other:
• We work out of a shared backlog
• We peer-review everything
• We pair-program when it makes sense
• We do weekly blame-free retros to reinforce what’s going well, so we do more of it, and surface what’s not, so we can do something about it.

Additional Notes

At Expel, our employee benefits reflect our commitment to our crew. Unlimited PTO, equity for everyone, work location flexibility, up to 24 weeks of parental leave, and excellent health benefits are some of the ways we care for our Expletives.

Our headquarters is in Herndon, Virginia, however our team is fully remote, and we have full support for remote interaction. We realize that while there is benefit to in-person interaction, good people don’t all live in Northern Virginia.

We're only hiring those authorized to work in the United States.

We're an Equal Opportunity Employer: You will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, sex, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status, or on the basis of disability.

Job Description

As a Software Engineer in the Gaming Transactions squad you will be responsible for building and running the transactions engine which underpins our customer facing products. This is a new and rapidly evolving service which is a key enabler for our platform strategy.

You'll be leading the way with the latest technologies including:

• Go for our API backends
• MySQL and Kafka for data storage and transport
• Docker to containerise them
• Jenkins to build them
• Kubernetes to host them
• Grafana and Prometheus to monitor them

It’s quite OK if some of the above is new to you, so long as you have an appetite and energy for imparting what you know, and learning what you don’t.

About you…

Engineering means more than authoring quality, tested code. It includes the end-to-end delivery pipeline; code driven deployment infrastructure; automated test safety nets; and effective operational instrumentation and incident response.

You’re a team player, who works collaboratively to achieve the shared squad goals. You are unafraid to challenge aspects outside your direct remit and passionately champion ‘the right thing’.

You’ll enjoy working in an architectural domain and you’re an advocate for sustainable software engineering; you strive for good technical design but don’t gold plate or prematurely abstract for a re-use that never materialises.

How you will do it…

Reporting into the Lead Software Engineer, you will:

• Turn concepts and requirements into highly available web applications and systems using industry standard languages and technologies such as Go, Kafka, Docker, Prometheus, AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
• Espouse the merits of idiomatic Go with a real passion for the language.
• Actively participate in application and database design, data flows and detailed technical design. Ensure that analysis includes the wider view of technical and business impact.
• Take ownership for code quality, security and scalability and have an equal grasp of the overall system you are working on and how it meets the needs of the end users, and business objectives.
• Balance the commercial needs of the business against the ideal technical design, proposing sound phased or tactical implementations where appropriate.
• Understand the importance of non-functionals such as real-time monitoring, good alert design and great logging strategies. Ensuring systems perform well to deliver the best user experience possible is something you consider as part of the normal delivery process.
• Collaborate with other team members; learning from them, and in turn working with them to help them improve their own skills too.
• Support the implementation of continuous integration to enhance deployment processes.

We are using virtual hiring and remote on-boarding to help our candidates and hiring managers stay safe. Face to face interactions will move over to video for this vacancy.

Pay & Benefits

• Competitive salary & bonus
• Amazing benefits package featuring things like Pension, Healthcare, Dental, Cycle to Work, Gym Membership and loads more
• Tech Ninja Fund – Annual personal learning & development budget for each and every employee!
• A list of local discounts as long as your arm!
• Great holiday package
• Great coffee ☕️
• Amazing office featuring everything from pool tables, football tables and breakout areas.

Culture

• We hire you for you, and celebrate individuality
• We’ve created the kind of workplace that not only retains talent, but wins awards for it too - including a place on the prestigious Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For list 5 years in a row.
• We're the 6th Best Place to Work 2019 on Glassdoor
• Mental health & Wellbeing Programmes
• Diversity and Inclusion and a company commitment to D&I

We’re building and promoting a culture where difference is valued & everyone can be the best version of themselves.
