Remote Backend + Developer + Go + Mobile + NoSQL Jobs

At Powerpal we’re building Australia’s largest residential energy engagement platform. Our customers love us – they’re saving money on their bills and helping out with the climate crisis at the same time!\n\nWe’re full-stack from the batteries up. We design and manufacture our own IoT hardware which connects through our cross-platform mobile apps to a cutting edge cloud platform allowing us to build amazing customer experiences on top of huge volumes of data.\n\nWe build and maintain a React Native iOS/Android mobile app, a range of Go and Ruby microservice APIs running on Kubernetes, and a Bigtable/Bigquery/Dataflow big data platform – all hosted on on Google Cloud Platform.\n\nWe love clean code, automated testing, CI/CD and believe in a true devops workflow where the same team designs, builds, tests, deploys and monitors end-to-end products.\n\nWe’re a fully remote team with huge amounts of flexibility and autonomy to set your own schedule and drive your own projects. Ideally you’ll be based close to Sydney, Melbourne or Wollongong so that we can get the team together for a couple of days per month to socialise and share ideas.\n\n**A Typical Day**\n\nThere are so many exciting projects to work on as the company accelerates that no two days are the same, but recently we have been mostly:\n\n* Planning new features for customers with rooftop solar across the Powerpal hardware, mobile app and data platform.\n* Building tools to support the rollout of tens of thousands of free Powerpals in Victoria with an amazing customer booking experience and geospatial logistics for our team of installers.\n* Moving our terabyte scale time-series database from Postgres to Bigtable with zero downtime.\n* Keeping in touch with the team over Slack and Friday afternoon Zoom beers.\n* Optimising our cross-platform app to provide the best possible Bluetooth connectivity and background power management across a variety of mobile hardware.\n* Ensuring that our cloud infrastructure autoscales and self-heals so that we can ignore it entirely when we’re on holiday.\n* Working with our energy industry partners to launch load shifting and demand response experiences to reward customers for balancing their power usage throughout the day.\n* Going to the beach on a sunny Wednesday without meetings and getting some quiet coding done on a rainy Sunday afternoon instead.\n\n\n**What You’ll Need**\n\n* Minimum of 3 years development experience across a range of projects, technologies and organisations across both iOS and Android.\n* Ideally, you’ll have experience using our core stack (Go, Ruby, JS, Kubernetes).\n* A previous lead role on a major end-to-end product delivering mobile, web and backend components.\n* Significant experience building web-based APIs and their associated data stores (both SQL and NOSQL).\n* Solid Javascript skills (bonus points for React and/or React Native) and exposure to rich web and/or mobile UIs.\n* At least one major project involving big data storage and asynchronous data processing.\n* A demonstrated ability to work autonomously and take ownership of teams delivering end-to-end products.\n* A background in deploying and owning cloud services (we use Google Cloud, but AWS or Azure will transfer perfectly).\n\n\n**What You’ll Get To Do**\n\n* Lead teams delivering user-facing projects with end-to-end features that touch the React Native mobile app, our backend APIs and our big data platform.\n* Build a beautiful mobile user experience to help our customers see their power and use it improve their lifestyle.\n* Build new tools to support manufacturing, rollout logistics and fleet management of tens of thousands of IoT devices.\n* Take a leading role in driving our future mobile direction. Should we be considering dedicated native apps? Should we be using Typescript? How can we make our user experience even better?\n* Integrate with our existing backend APIs and get involved in the design and development of new APIs to support the mobile app’s needs.\n* Rapidly prototype new features within the app by designing and building new Javascript content for our embedded web views.\n* Work on hard problems around scaling real-time data feeds with gigabytes of time-series data arriving every day.\n* Share ownership of the whole Powerpal system and take responsibility for ensuring that the projects you work on can be deployed, monitored, and maintained without friction.\n* Improve the quality of our existing codebases and expand our automated unit testing to include higher level end-to-end testing in multiple environments.\n* Help to set the direction for a great developer experience from the laptop to the cloud as we scale our build, test and deployment processes to support a larger team.\n\n\n**Compensation**\n\n* Up to $180k plus super (depending on your specific experience).\n* Negotiable equity (options) in a profitable and rapidly growing startup.\n* A new Macbook Pro or equivalent value in mobile devices and home office upgrades as necessary.\n* A free Powerpal for your home\n\n\nIt doesn’t get better than this! Work at the cutting edge of development as part of this hands-on role whilst helping to drive the development strategy roadmap for an ambitious, growth phase tech start up.

\nWe are looking for a skilled and passionate Back End Software Engineer to join our Tech Team to build and scale effective software solutions. We are in need of an enthusiastic self-starter with deep expertise in complex back end structures capable of working with different integrated systems.\n\nWhat We Do\n\nWe work with niche companies in the US, Canada, the UK to restructure and automate their operation so that their businesses can grow 5-10x. We do that by effectively analyzing their business, streamlining their processes, and designing an effective automation solution that we then implement on our robust IT stack.\n\nWe make extensive use of technologies that help us accomplish results with less work — making everyone inside of our global organization more effective. \n\nWe heavily leverage: \n\n\n* \n\nAmazon AWS's serverless technologies and microservices for our front-end, back-end, and mobile apps (Lambda, Amplify, Cognito, S3, etc.).\n\n\n* \n\nZoho's CRM and ERP Tools (Desk, Books, etc.).\n\n\n* \n\nVonage/Nexmo-based telephony and communications solutions (Vonage Business Phone, Nexmo Voice/SMS, OpenTalk, etc.).\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are always looking for new technologies and welcome team members adding things to our technology stack so we can deliver more results more effectively. \n\nWhat You Will Do\n\nAs an Engineer, you will be responsible for delivering the solution as per requirements put together by our Creative and Business Analysis Teams. Depending on your level, you will be responsible for either the entire project (with other engineers working in your project team) or for a part of it.\n\nYour ultimate deliverable will be to effectively build a solution that will be implemented in the client's business and run successfully going forward.\n In doing so, you will:\n\n\n* Design and architect complex solutions involving web apps, custom CRM/ERP's, programmable telephony, and other external systems.\n\n\n\n* Deliver and implement your solutions.\n\n\n\n* Create effective monitoring of the solutions for effective usage and scalability.\n\n\n\n* Work with other back end and front end developers on the team to deliver the overall solution.\n\n\n\n* Do anything else you deem necessary to accomplish your result.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRequirements\n You are:\n\n\n* \n\nResponsible and driven by results.\n\n\n* \n\nGenuinely interested in technology.\n\n\n* \n\nWilling to learn, grow, and admit mistakes.\n\n\n* \n\nAble to communicate with other people on the project's team effectively.\n\n\n\n\n\nYou have:\n\n\n* \n\nA solid knowledge of Node.js-based back end technologies.\n\n\n* \n\nExperience with complex SQL and NoSQL databases.\n\n\n* \n\nExperience with different APIs and complex integrations between systems, that we use all the time.\n\n\n* \n\nEffective written and verbal English to communicate with our international team.\n\n\n* \n\nBasic understanding of DevOps and SDLC to cooperate with other developers in building the product.\n\n\n\n\n\nWill be a good plus:\n\n\n* \n\nExperience with Amazon AWS, serverless technologies, and microservices on its platform.\n\n\n* \n\nExperience with CRM and ERP systems such as Zoho and others.\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat We Offer\n\n\n* \n\nResults-Focused Approach to Work\n\n\n\n\n\nWe do not look at people's activities, the number of lines of code written, etc., as the measure of success. We look strictly at the results in effectively delivered products. \n\n\n\n\n* \n\nResults Based Compensation Schedule\n\n\n\n\n\nThere is base pay and project bonus pay. Base pay varies significantly by the Engineer's level of ability and responsibility (Lead/Associate/Assistant) that the Engineer takes on projects - this level is reassessed after every project that the Engineer completes. Projects upon completion are rewarded with a bonus - bonus depends on the delivery of all requirements assigned to the Engineer, timeliness of delivery, rate of errors, and the amount of management attention needed in the project. Engineers who can deliver functional solutions that match requirements quickly and with little management action to correct errors get the best rewards and promotions in the organization.\n\n\n\n\n* \n\nFreely Arranged Schedule\n\n\n\n\n\nYou decide when you want to work. What we expect from you are results. There is a daily stand-up call — but outside of it, you can manage your schedule as you prefer.\n\n\n\n\n* \n\nWork as an Engineer, Not Just a Coder\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Engineers work to build solutions and not just to write code. You will have freedom in how you want to architect the solutions you are making and we will heavily encourage initiative on your part.\n\n\n\n\n* \n\nGrowth Within Our Organization\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are a dynamic and growing organization with a team spread around multiple continents. If you prove yourself as a responsible, driven and motivated individual, there will be opportunities for you to lead projects and manage tech teams.\n\nOur candidate selection process is designed to assess people strictly by their merit. We do not make you go through a long round of interviews, instead, we follow a straight-forward sequence:\n\n\n\n1. Job Application Form.\n\n2. Online Skills Assessment.\n\n3. Interview.\n\n4. Paid Practical Assignment.\n\n5. Evaluation and Offer. \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Engineer, Backend, Developer, Digital Nomad, DevOps, English, Amazon, Serverless, NoSQL and Mobile jobs that are similar:\n\n $70,000 — $120,000/year\n

The Group also comprises the worlds largest online FX trading platform, as well as online advertising, Internet media, and mobile entertainment products. GMO Internet, Inc. (TSE: 9449) is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. For more information please visit http://www.gmo.jp/en/.\nWe are looking for talented backend software engineers to join our Western hemisphere technical team based in central London.\nOur goal is creating new platforms exposing RESTful services to the IoE/M2M industry, capitalizing on our experience and digital real estate from the SSL and PKI spaces. We have already built a game changing system and are now looking at augmenting it both performance and feature-wise.\nOn a day to day basis you will be creating new high performance platforms for both internal and external use exposed in a RESTful fashion and backed by large SQL and NoSQL data stores. Part of this will include prototyping new technologies, interacting with PKI/crypto hardware, and shaving off microseconds wherever possible.\nWe would love to have a chat if any of the following apply:\n·         You write clean, concise, self-documenting code that both you and your team can still understand a year after. You care about naming. You do not repeat yourself. You do not believe that more code represents the solution to a problem. You test everything.\n·         You already master a few programming languages, or easily find your way around a new one. Our stack is mostly Go, but when there are better tools implemented in different languages, we do not hesitate to use and improve them.\n·         You have a solid C/C++ foundation. We appreciate high level languages that avoid heaps of boilerplate code, but at the same time we need to know what goes on under the hood, and so should you.\n·         You have a high performance systems background - content delivery, trading, networking, e-commerce, ticketing, etc. Everything we build has hard performance requirements. Relying entirely on the language/framework for optimisation is a luxury we do not have.\n·         You have a good grasp of operating systems, knowing how to directly use (or misuse) the scheduling, network and storage facilities.\n·         You think in patterns. Synchronous/asynchronous. Multithreaded/event driven. Latency/bandwidth. You take these into consideration before laying down any code.\n·         You are familiar with the latest technologies and use them judiciously. Software advancements have made things that were impossible ten years ago possible, but no single piece of technology has been a silver bullet. You can tell which of the modern tools in your belt work for the task at hand and which do not.\n·         You know what you do not know and you are as comfortable asking for help as you are offering it. We advocate mutual knowledge sharing. Nobody knows everything.\n·         You know when to work hard and when to kick back. Development effort is not evenly distributed. Sometimes you might have to put in some unplanned extra hours, sometimes you go on a team night out before the clock hits six.\n·         You are an inquisitive perfectionist. You like to know how things work and constantly try to improve them.\nWhat we offer:\n·         The opportunity to work for a leading multinational PKI provider, alongside seasoned technologists with quite a few successful products and services under their belts.\n·         A clean slate. No legacy or poorly documented code to maintain. It all happens here and now with you as an instrumental part of it.\n·         A friendly working environment where we appreciate witty banter without falling into the brogrammer stereotype. We are a large and well established multinational company, but this team operates like a start-up where everyone carries their own weight and manages their own time.\n·         Competitive Salary\n·         20 days annual leave increasing with annually with length of service to 25 days per year\n·         Employer matched pension contributions to 5% of salary\n·         4 x Salary Life cover\n·         Long-term illness insurance\n·         Cycle to Work Scheme\n·         Employee funded via salary sacrifice Benenden Healthcare cover\n·         Childcare Voucher Scheme\n·         Payroll Giving\n·         Employee Assistance Package  \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Engineer, Backend, Developer, Digital Nomad, Payroll, NoSQL and Mobile jobs that are similar:\n\n $65,000 — $120,000/year\n
