Senior Backend Engineer at Rigado - Portland, Oregon, United States

Job Description

About the job

Excited about working in the IoT space?

We devise and build creative, scalable, and maintainable solutions to address real pain points endemic to companies that use IoT devices as an integral part of their business. Whether those devices are used to monitor room occupancy and temperature, track inventory, or provide alerting for physical states, they need to be managed, updated, and monitored in a secure and robust way. Rigado's products meet this need.

The Tech

We're building a distributed system in Go (Golang) to manage devices on the edge, so our systems must function effectively in the absence of a fat, stable pipe between the server and the client. The system extends from the backend in the cloud down to actual management devices, so we've got software, firmware, and hardware engineers all working in tandem. No experience with the other areas of engineering required for this software position; what IS required is that your interest is piqued to learn more about them!

Concerned about “Checking all the Boxes?”

Please apply -- even if you don't feel you meet every single requirement. What's most important to us is finding authentic, interested and motivated people who are excited about the IoT space, not just candidates who check off all the boxes. Use a cover letter or send a note that helps highlight why YOU think you should be considered for this role.

What Makes you Successful in this Role at Rigado

Curiosity, empathy, ownership, and a fondness for collaboration.

If you're eager to both learn from and teach fellow engineers and non-engineers alike, build excellent products for customers, and dive headfirst into unfamiliar technology, approaches, and challenges, you’re halfway there!

• Experience designing and building distributed systems, AKA “Microservices” architecture
• Some experience with PostgreSQL
• Commitment to writing stable and maintainable software that's tested and well documented
• Understanding of how to use metrics, monitoring, and alerting to ensure system health
• Experience with continuous integration and automation (CI/CD)
• Experience building from requirements and/or concept to production

Bonus Items

• Understanding of networking (OSI, TLS, HTTP) - NTH
• Experience at successful startup
• Experience at a successful startup
• Experience using Go (Golang)
• Familiarity with Linux (embedded or otherwise)
• Experience with Azure and/or Kubernetes

We're Building a Team in addition to Building Software.

We value and seek inclusion and diversity on our teams and at Rigado. We are committed to pushing a sea change on that front and we are committed to the work. This is a new, burgeoning area of technology that we're driving, so there's a lot of room to help shape the future of software - and the world - at Rigado!

Benefits

• Health Insurance (Vision, Dental, Medical)
• 20 days of flexible paid time off (FTO) per year
• 13 company holidays
• Employer sponsored 401(k) plan (Rigado contributes 3%, regardless of your contribution)
• Wellness reimbursement up to $100/month

Location

This is a hybrid position, based in Portland, OR. A remote option may work, however, depending on your location (CA, CO and OR).
