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

• 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.

Job Description

Compensation

$100,000 to $180,000+ USD & Stock Options

Let's start with why we exist.

Ever wondered if your employer is monitoring your work computer? At Fleet, we think it's time device management went open source.

Why should you join us?

Work from anywhere with good internet. (We're 100% remote. No office. No commute.) Everyone works remote, but you don't feel remote. There is no "headquarters". You are free to travel and move.

Fleet can offer you a competitive salary, significant equity, and an independent, outsider-friendly culture. Work with helpful, kind, and motivated people who know what they're doing.

At Fleet, we value focus, iteration, and meaningful results– not 60 hour work weeks. We are non-judgmental and laser-focused on growing the company. Work closely with experienced, well-funded founders and a great team, including the people who created osquery (osquery.io) and Sails (sailsjs.com). We care about openness and transparency.

Work computers can be private and safe. Help make endpoint monitoring less intrusive and more transparent.

Protect the production servers and employee laptops of Earth's largest companies. Work on a product used by lots of people who care about what you do.

Fleet is growing quickly, with significant revenue from Fortune 1000 customers. You will have lots of opportunities to make decisions, learn, and try new things.

Responsibilities

As the first backend engineering role on the interface team, this position will provide significant opportunity for growth into a leadership role either in management or as an individual contributor. Unlock the potential of Fleet's platform by building new APIs, integrations, and features. Collaborate closely with frontend engineers to implement and leverage new backend capabilities.

Fleet’s server is written in Go with go-kit and Fleet's UI is written in React. 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.

• Design and implement new features and APIs with Go in Fleet’s 100% source-available codebase.
• Work with Fleet’s product team, customers, and the wider open-source community to improve IT and security workflows.
• Work closely with frontend engineers to implement new API features.

• Experience building scalable, production quality servers.
• Experience with Redis and/or SQL databases. (Particularly MySQL or MariaDB.)
• Experience building, deploying, and maintaining REST APIs.
• Your work hours have significant overlap with Americas time zones.
• You have great written and oral communication skills, especially in English.
• You are competent with source control in Git. You use issue trackers and other worthwhile processes to get more meaningful work done.
• 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 understand the importance of promoting a positive engineering culture.
• Bonus: Experience programming with Go and go-kit.
• Bonus: Experience programming with React.
• Bonus: Experience working with Mobile Device Management (MDM) APIs.
• Bonus: Experience deploying/monitoring/managing containers with Docker/K8s.

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.

There are more than 700,000 active installations of Grafana around the globe, monitoring everything from beehives to climate change in the Alps. The instantly recognizable dashboards have been spotted everywhere from a SpaceX launch and Minecraft HQ to Wimbledon and the Tour de France. Grafana Labs also helps companies including Bloomberg, JPMorgan Chase, and eBay manage their observability strategies with full-stack offerings that can be run fully managed with Grafana Cloud, or self-managed with Grafana Enterprise Stack. The Grafana stack has grown to include two other open-source projects, Grafana Loki (for logs) and Grafana Tempo (for traces)

This is a remote position, and we are considering candidates in the North, Central & South Americas regions.

About Grafana Cloud:

Grafana Cloud is our composable observability platform that integrates metrics, logs, and traces with Grafana. It allows our customers to leverage the best open source observability software – including Prometheus, Cortex, Loki, and Tempo – without the overhead of installing, maintaining and scaling their own observability stack.

Our Grafana Cloud pipeline moves millions of data points, loglines, and traces per second from our customers’ environments into a highly available, low-latency stack that processes and stores the data, and serves it to dashboards and alerting tools. We aim to grow this to hundreds of millions per second, and it's critical that as we grow, we improve our performance, increase our reliability, and do it all more efficiently.

You would be joining one of our Cloud squads, whose responsibilities span from adapting and delivering our open-source offerings to a cloud environment that can support millions of users, writing software that allows those users to easily send data from within their infrastructure, or helping to build monitoring and alerting solutions. Our tech stack is mostly made up of services written in Go, running on multiple Kubernetes clusters that leverage Google’s Cloud Platform.

Our culture is remote-first and our engineering organization is largely remote. We provide guidance and meet regularly using video calls, so an independent attitude and strong communication skills are a must

Within 1 month you will be able to:

• Gain a deeper understanding of our cloud product and our customers
• Get to know the codebase and contribute to our growing list of third-party integrations
• Participate in ongoing design discussions that allow us to collaborate on and inform our technical decisions
• Significantly contribute to a major initiative in our roadmap

Within 3 months you will be able to:

• Take an active role in shaping our roadmap and your own career objectives
• Drive a project from initial ideation all the way to operations once it is in the hands of customers
• Embrace our open-source culture and contribute to other projects that may not directly fall within your team’s scope
• Be a part of your team’s on-call rotations and take ownership of the services you’re running

Requirements:

• You are familiar with programming languages like Go, C, C#, C++, or Rust
• You are able to write clean, robust, and performant software
• You have experience with network programming or distributed systems development

Nice to haves:

• Familiarity with operations/SRE and the concept of infrastructure as code
• Experience with the observability space in general (metrics, logging, tracing, monitoring, alerting)
• Experience with Kubernetes / Kafka / Cassandra / Bigtable / syslog / opentracing or similar technologies
• Familiarity with time-series applications and concepts, especially Graphite or Prometheus.

Equal Opportunity Employer- At Grafana Labs we’re building a company where a diverse mix of talented people want to come, stay, and do their best work. We know that our company runs on the hard work and the dedication of our passionate and creative employees.

We will recruit, train, compensate and promote regardless of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, disability, age, veteran status, and all the other fascinating characteristics that make us different and unique. We believe that equality and diversity builds a strong organisation and we’re working hard to make sure that’s the foundation of our organisation as we grow.

About Upfluence

Upfluence helps brands tell their story with powerful influencer & content marketing technology. Upfluence’s software allows brands and agencies to identify and contact millions of social influencers and bloggers at scale to execute comprehensive influencer marketing campaigns, as well as provide detailed reporting metrics. Since the launch of our SaaS software in January 2017, the company has yielded a monthly double-digit growth rate, and we are therefore seeking further expansion for our team and offices. Our rapidly growing global team is currently distributed between our offices in NYC, Los Angeles, Switzerland, and Lyon.

We are now looking for a talented and passionate Back-end Engineer who, together with the product team, will take part in creating and constantly improving the online platform.

What we do

• Our platform aggregates, keeps up to date and serves the content of 5M of influencers across all trending social networks of the internet. This raises a certain amount of engineering challenges related to data, scalability and performance. At the scale we’re at, the naïve solution often isn’t enough.
• Our backend stack is focused around Golang / Ruby as programming languages, PostgreSQL, Apache Cassandra as database systems, Elasticsearch as a search engine, RabbitMQ as message broker. Also, we use Apache Thrift for RPC and Prometheus for monitoring to name a few.
• We’re firm believers of micro service architecture and domain driven design, making our codebase highly flexible and reusable. Some parts of our production have actually been running for more than 5 years!
• We’re DevOps minded. Our backend engineers ship to production multiple times a day and are responsible for their production. We’re always working towards reducing the maintenance toil by automating as much as possible our processes using tools like Github actions or our own in-house frontend deployer.
• We’re running around 50 applications in production, making it around 1600 containers live, across 90 servers. Not to mention that we’ve been running containers in production for more than 7 years. We’re currently in the works of moving our production workload to Kubernetes.
• We’re product-centric: we’re not writing code for the sake of it, but to provide the best service to our customers.
• We strongly believe that collective intelligence is the very root of success for an engineering organization. Each and everyone has a word to say regarding the technical implementation of a feature. That’s why we rely on tools like proposals and RFCs to encourage this culture, as the best companies in the field do.
• We love open source and contribute to it by opening our own libraries to share them with as many people as possible.

Responsibilities

• Writing highly reliable, maintainable and tested code that makes the correct assumptions based on the context. You know that in our field, everything is a matter of tradeoffs.
• Getting involved in the feature lifecycle, from its inception, through its technical design and implementation, to its maintenance in production 3 months / years after releasing it ;-).
• Work in collaboration with the team, get involved in mentoring juniors, reviewing PRs and writing RFCs. Being at ease with written communication is a must.
• Work hand in hand with Customer Success and Support teams, to make sure our customers have the best experience using our product.

Who we are looking for

• You’re eager to discover how our product works and you’re keen to learn and master its technologies. We’re looking for enthusiastic people and great learners who go beyond the tools, not technical experts. Of course, if you already have experience with our stack that’s a plus, but definitely not a requirement.
• You like to work in a team and to take on challenges, and you are fluent or comfortable working in English. Our team is based mostly in France, but speaking French is not a requirement.
• You’re reliable: You keep your word when you can, communicate early on and come up with solutions when it looks like [we || you] are running into a wall.
• You’re not afraid to ask questions and raise issues.
• You’re a team player.
• You care about the product and strive to make something useful.

What we can offer you

• Your spot with the team in one of our awesome Lyon or LA offices, or even remote, either way is fine with us. You’ll be answering issues on Github and making bad jokes on Discord anyway!
• An entrepreneurial and dynamic startup environment with room for growth;
• A mixed and international team (10+ nationalities);
• An empowering and autonomous position in an entrepreneurial environment;
• Regular exchanges with the US/FR offices;
• Company shares;
• The answer to life, the universe and everything;
• Join a motivated and growing team!

Sounds like the perfect opportunity? Apply now to join us!

Upfluence is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

Interview Process

The interview process would go through 4 steps as followed:

1. After sending your resume, the team is in charge of reviewing and selecting candidates: if you are selected, you'll have the chance to discuss for a 1st interview with 2 members of the team;
2. If the interview goes well, the team will send a little technical test your way for completion;
3. Upon the test being sent back, the team is charge of reviewing it and we program a second interview to debrief it with you;
4. If the test and debrief interview were successful, the last stage consists in an interview with at least one of the founders of the company, to get to know more about you and what you want to accomplish with us.

• We are a small, fully remote engineering team, and there are no layers of bureaucracy. You can have a huge impact here.
• We are very flexible with working hours, we don't expect you to work a consistent block of time, we trust you to get your work done.
• We've recently launched and are starting to grow.
• We will offer profit sharing so our small team will receive dividends on profits the company makes.

Why you might not want to work with us

• We are an early-stage startup, and while we are well funded, we are careful with our runway and haven't splurged on extra perks like gym memberships or 401k matching. You want to work with a large team. We do not intend to hire more until it is painful enough to warrant doing so.

More About Us

We are a startup headquartered in beautiful downtown Asheville, NC. We are a small, close-knit team working to upend the RMM market with our new product. We have recently launched and have acquired our first customers. Though we are a startup, our investors have given us a multi-year runway.

Currently, our agent team is made up of a single amazing developer. This hire will join them to expand the agent team. This developer should be an experienced self-starter that can make an impact on our product development. We aren't interested in someone that just wants to work down a list of pre-defined tasks. Our ideal candidate loves working on products and will help shape the direction of ours. We're going to be improving this product for years and want someone to come on this journey with us.

We really like the Basecamp philosophy and try to make sure that it doesn’t have to be crazy at work. We won’t ask that you work weekends, or late into the night. We don’t mind if you need to leave for an appointment in the middle of the day. We understand that software development doesn’t happen for 8 hours straight and don’t worry about counting time in the chair. We trust that given a fair timeline with a scope that you help us determine you will be able to deliver features. We are concerned with the end goal, not micromanaging you on the way there.

About the Application Process

Collaboration and communication are a critical aspect of how we work, a cover letter is a great way to provide a sample of how you communicate.

In your cover letter, please describe why you’re interested in working at Level, and what draws you to this role in particular. Specifics of your past experience that are relevant to this role are great to include, too.

Pay

We're looking for someone great but we're an early-stage startup. We are offering a rate of 120k plus profit sharing (once we have profits 😅). We hope to grow quickly and are committed to increasing the base pay of everyone on the team at each stage of growth.
