Remote Backend + Developer + Golang + JavaScript + System 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.

We employ an iterative, design-led process where everyone on the team gets a say. \n\nOur product is a single-page JavaScript application loosely-coupled to a back end that's built on Go microservices and legacy PHP.

# Your main roles\n\n* Work with our team to take an idea from concept to shipped.\n* Contribute to our existing projects and help lead new projects.\n* Continually help us improve our services with testing, automation and monitoring.\n* Be open to learning new technologies as we grow and helping others learn as well.\n\n# Core competencies you must have to apply\n\n* Open mind, checked ego and openness to diversity.\n* Ability to learn and share in learning.\n* Speaking your mind and challenging assumptions.\n* Working with a team to set and meet goals.\n\n"How does Picatic Tick?"\n\nWe are a polyglot company and try to use the right tool for the job. We find team diversity helps bring alternate ideas and approaches to light. We like to consider our options as team and make decisions based on long term value to our customers and company. Our own mix of lean startup helps guide our decisions as a team and company.\n\nOur current stack is a blend of PHP, NodeJS, AngularJS, Docker and various supplementary languages. We know that parts of our system are legacy, but we have open conversations about how we plan to replace them and move forward. For example: The team has been discussing the benefits of rewriting parts of our stack in Golang or a similar language.\n\nOver the last year we have been making a transition to a "Service Oriented Architecture" which has allowed us to consider solutions we previously had not considered. A wide new range of ideas our platform can support are opening up to us, it is truly an exciting time at Picatic.\n\nWe value experience in all areas in technology/business/startup/life; but of course, it is always nice to have experience in the technologies we presently use. We encourage all applicants to apply if they feel they can contribute and are willing to learn.\n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n $65,000 — $95,000/year\n
