In this role you will use the latest technologies for building backend services that will ingest data, perform calculations and provide remediation tooling and automation. The language the team uses is GoLang for building microservices and you’ll use various database systems.
We’re a highly collaborative and friendly group that prizes collaboration over competition. We provide opportunities to learn new skills, mentor fellow engineers, and contribute to the direction of both the team and the products for which we’re responsible. We work in a distributed, remote-first, high-trust environment where you manage your own time and have the flexibility to balance your work and personal life. Our ideal candidate will be responsible for taking full ownership of the delivery of our products, driving the technical aspects, helping the team to define the architecture and coordinating with stakeholders in terms of scope and priorities. As a remote employee, you connect to your co-workers mostly via Slack and Zoom.

  • Experience using a message queue. We use Kafka. (e.g., defining messages, estimating message sizes and rates, monitoring lag)

  • Understanding data structures and commands for a key-value distributed caching solution, such as Redis.

  • Experience using RDBMS databases, and accompanying knowledge of SQL, such as Postgres.

  • Experience troubleshooting highly distributed systems, including scalability concerns. (e.g, concurrency, immutability, sharding, eventual consistency, etc.)

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience. Proficiency with common algorithms, data structures, code whiteboarding.

  • A minimum of 7 years of experience working with enterprise cloud based systems


  • Bonus Points:
  • Machine learning or AI experience
