About us

We started in 2019 building safety training for a single manufacturer. Founded in 2019, we now have 15 employees. Fully remote, with a team meetup twice a year.

About the role

You will need a reliable internet connection and a quiet place to work.

What you'll do

• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.

Nice to have

• Contributions to open source projects.
• Kubernetes and Docker in production.
