THE ROLE:
As a well-rounded software engineer, you should definitely be the type that appreciates diversity in your day, and challenges outside of your comfort level!
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:
- Designing a deterministic lifecycle workflow for our next product offering.
- Writing core platform code for a new feature, and unit tests for functionality.
- Leading discussions on new development and gathering requirements from business users for new features.
- Refactoring and improving existing code for performance and simplicity.
- Build tools to help our internal business partners better perform their jobs
- Researching additional ideas, you may have to improve the product/platform overall and sharing with the team.
- Interacting with customers and/or sales on a bug in the software, quickly resolving it, and coordinating across the team to push a fix.
- Working with other engineers and discussing quirks in network protocols and network interconnection which translate rapid API changes.
WHAT YOU BRING:
The right candidate will have an abundance of hard-core programming skills, have solid instincts for API usability and design patterns.

- Extensive experience with Go in large applications developed in a team environment.
- Expert unit tester.
- Experience building tools and applications used by internal company users.
- Extensive experience with the HTTP protocol and developing and using RESTful APIs.

- Experience working in an environment leveraging remote communication collaboration tools like Slack, Zoom etc.
- Never being afraid to venture boldly where none have gone before and develop code where there are no previous libraries to draw from.
Preferred Experience
- Cassandra experience.
- Any experience interacting with physical world equipment – industrial, medical, etc
- SQL experience.
Work Experience
The right candidates will most likely have a strong background working in large scale data center or telecommunications environments, with a proven track record of completing projects on time in spite of obstacles.
