Here is why we love this job ourselves, and hope you will enjoy it too:

  • The range of problem solving includes networking, performance, security and integrations with existing systems.
  • Build and test cycles are measured in seconds, integration tests are running in minutes.
  • Most of the code you will write will be open source.
  • Our products are loved by their users, you’ll get to talk to some of them on Slack.
  • We practice thorough code reviews and have an open design process.

Here are the projects you may be working on:

What to expect once you apply:

  • We will send you a 20-30 minute programming quiz
  • You will join 30 minute intro call and we will walk you through the compensation, interview process and requirements
  • You join a slack channel and submit a coding challenge in Golang or Rust using Github

Requirements:

  • Golang or Rust experience
  • Linux systems engineering
  • Cryptography engineering experience is a plus

Joining a startup, you should be comfortable changing the area of focus and working directly with customers.

We offer competitive compensation and benefits, platinum-level healthcare insurance, 401k matching, and a great place to work.

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.

Job Description

We're looking for an experienced Backend Go Software Engineer to join the Geckoboard team!

Why join us...

Every single one of us comes to work every day to do something we love. We get to tackle big problems, but in a way that recognises everyone’s need to work with dignity and purpose in a supportive and inclusive environment. It's the most wonderful thing. In fact the fun part is trying to figure out all the different ways we can come up with to make data accessible and understandable for everyone. It really is amazing. The best part is that we work in an atmosphere of openness, trust and transparency, where everyone is empowered to learn and flourish. We're actually doing really well. We have a product our customers love.

We're really excited to be growing.

You'll be joining a team of empowered engineers in a supportive environment that values experimentation, work-life balance and personal development.

We work in small and focused cross-functional teams, usually made up of a Product Manager, a Designer, and a mix of Frontend and Backend Engineers. QA and Infrastructure tend to come in at the points they're needed or for specific projects. We scope out our project such that we're able to deliver meaningful work but small enough to iterate and take on board feedback quickly. We encourage our engineers to get involved in different teams and projects based on their interests, skills and opportunities to learn. We're also equally mindful about technical debt and make sure we dedicate time to addressing it.

At Geckoboard, we are seeking to solve a real problem and build a long-lasting product. As a result, we place a high value on a clean and maintainable codebase, and on practices that ensure we can continue to deliver quality software rapidly and iteratively.


Learning is also a big part of our engineering culture. Once every two weeks every team takes a “Lab Day”, when everyone is free to work on projects that interest them, learn new skills or contribute to open source. We encourage these projects and often they have led to improvements in the way we work or concepts that have then been prioritised, developed further and added to our Product.

Our stack

Our main frontend application is a large React 16+ codebase and our tests are written with Jest. For communicating with our backend services, we use an Apollo client and query a GraphQL gateway written in Node.js that exposes a single schema but dispatches queries to a number of gRPC services on the backend.

While our backend services are mostly written in Go and run on AWS, the GraphQL gateway is owned by the frontend team, which puts them in the driving seat when it comes to defining the APIs for a new piece of functionality, and provides a single point of reference for both frontend and backend.

While adding features to the product, we’ve been building and maintaining an internal React component library with an emphasis on reusability and documentation. Our frontend team is looking to expand this library, with the potential to open source it in the future.

Perks & Benefits

Work your best

Right now, we work fully remote from around the globe. We’re big on work-life balance and flexible work. We have some core hours but it's up to you to decide how you work around those. We consider 25 days of holiday a year to be a minimum, not a maximum, and have a flexible working policy so that if you need to step out for a school run, an appointment, or something else, it’s no problem. We don't do "crunch time" and have a deep commitment to a clear separation of life and work.

Some of our team also have shorter working weeks and we’re more than happy to accommodate this or other arrangements when possible. Learn more about life at Geckoboard at www.geckoboard.com/careers.
