Remote Backend + Go + MySQL + Operations + Senior Jobs

\nLet's start with why we exist.\n\nFleet builds open source software to manage and secure computing infrastructure: employee laptops, cloud servers, and more. Our technology helps IT and security teams build trust within their organization, while getting their jobs done more effectively.\n\nFleet is an all-remote company with experienced founders, including two creators of popular open source projects and a compelling lead investor. Our business model is inspired by the success of GitLab and Elastic, and we have incredible early customers ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies with hundreds of thousands of endpoints.\n\n\nWhat happens when you join us?\n\n\n* As the first senior engineering hire, this position offers huge potential for growth.\n\n* You will write significant open source code, merging commits in your first days at the company.\n\n* You will work closely with the CTO and CEO to define technical and product vision.\n\n* Over time, you will establish yourself as a leader in Fleet's growing team and user community, whether through management or expert-level individual contributions.\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy should you join us?\n\n\n* Work from anywhere with good internet. (We're 100% remote. No office. No commute.)\n\n* Help make endpoint monitoring less intrusive and more transparent.\n\n* Safeguard the production servers and employee laptops of Earth's largest companies.\n\n* Build greenfield features and make key technical decisions that go live in days.\n\n* Most (if not all) of the code you write is public and highly visible at github.com/fleetdm/fleet.\n\n\n\n\n\nAre you our new teammate?\n\n\n* You are competent with source control in Git. You have great written communication skills.\n\n* You can mentor other developers and do code reviews. Maybe you managed open source projects before; maybe you collaborated closely with more junior engineers at work.\n\n* You look forward to working with designers to improve the user experience of stuff you work on.\n\n* You bring senior talent to our team and open source community, with 4+ years of equivalent experience in one or more of the Engineering Foundations below (and interest in digging into the others).\n\n* Nice to have: Experience working on an all-remote, distributed team.\n\n* Nice to have: Experience working in IT operations and/or cybersecurity.\n\n* Nice to have: Experience working with Mobile Device Management (MDM) APIs.\n\n* Nice to have: Experience deploying/monitoring/managing containers with Docker/K8s.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngineering Foundations\n\nAn ideal senior candidate has 4+ years equivalent experience in one or more of the following three engineering foundations (and interest in digging into the others):\n\nI. Frontend\n\nFleet’s frontend is a single page application (SPA) written in JavaScript with React and Redux. We strive for “convention over configuration”, offering a user experience that helps security and IT staff enjoy their jobs. There are many interesting challenges in helping our users understand the data collected from their laptops and servers.\n\n\n* Experience building and architecting SPAs in JavaScript/Typescript (2+ years of equivalent experience with React specifically.)\n\n* Expert CSS skills (we use Sass)\n\n* Ability to recommend and implement frontend testing patterns (E2E tests, etc.)\n\n* Nice to have: Experience developing responsive applications.\n\n* Nice to have: Familiarity with frontend performance profiling and optimization.\n\n* Nice to have: Experience building data visualizations (graphs, charts, etc.)\n\n* Nice to have: Experience with React Native, Electron.js, or similar.\n\n\n\n\nII. Backend\n\nFleet’s server is written in Go with go-kit. Deployments range from single servers to over 100,000 clients connected to horizontally scaled Fleet servers, handling tens of thousands of requests per minute. We aim to keep Fleet’s deployment as simple as possible to ease self-hosted deployment. MySQL and Redis are used for persistence and caching.\n\n\n* Experience building scalable, production quality servers.\n\n* Ability to recommend and implement backend testing patterns (E2E tests, etc.)\n\n* Familiarity with server and SQL performance profiling and optimization.\n\n* Familiarity with database migration strategies.\n\n* Nice to have: Experience programming with Go and go-kit.\n\n* Nice to have: Experience with Redis and/or MySQL.\n\n* Nice to have: Experience deploying and operating hosted SaaS services.\n\n* Nice to have: Experience working with Mobile Device Management (MDM) APIs.\n\n* Nice to have: Experience deploying/monitoring/managing containers with Docker/K8s\n\n\n\n\nIII. Endpoints\n\nFleet builds on top of the osquery agent (osquery.io), a Linux Foundation OSS project. Our CTO co-created osquery and serves on the Technical Steering Committee. On the endpoint we are building Orbit, a wrapper for osquery that will also become our platform for deploying additional open-source software such as Fleet Desktop (an interface for device users to interact with Fleet).\n\n\n* Experience developing applications on macOS, Linux, and/or Windows.\n\n* Familiarity with packaging tools: macOS .pkg, Linux .deb, Linux .rpm, Windows .msi, etc.\n\n* Familiarity with service persistence: macOS launchd, Linux systemd, Windows Services, etc.\n\n* Experience with building cross-platform user interfaces.\n\n* Experience managing and debugging performance of software installed on endpoints.\n\n* Readiness to write code that will directly impact performance for hundreds of thousands of people.\n\n* Nice to have: Go (for Orbit) and C++ (for osquery) programming experience.\n\n* Nice to have: Experience building and securing update systems for endpoint software.\n\n* Nice to have: Experience with low-level system APIs in macOS, Linux, and/or Windows.\n\n\n\n\nPlease include a few sentences about your experience with the Engineering Foundations in the "Experience" box of the application. \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Engineer, Developer, Digital Nomad, React, JavaScript, Cloud, CSS, Mobile, Senior, Junior, SaaS, Linux and Backend jobs that are similar:\n\n $70,000 — $120,000/year\n

## Now Hiring: Remote Senior Backend Laravel Engineer\n\n- ⏰ Make a big impact at an early stage – funded and prelaunch\n- 💪 Humble and Ambitious Team\n- 💰 Competitive Salary, Equity, and Perks\n- 🗺 Anywhere in Europe\n- 🎓 Training and Development\n- 💡 5+ Years of Experience\n\nRally is bringing new freedom to online merchants. Our checkout optimization platform allows merchants to take control of the most important pages of their business. We believe that when merchants control their own checkout, it leads to more freedom, more creativity, and more success.\n\nThe team is experienced in the space – our previous product processed over $2b in GMV. We’re looking for true believers to join our small team. We recently closed a round of funding from great investors, and are gearing up to launch in Q2. Join us and make a meaningful impact on the team and product.\n\n## The Role\n\nAs a senior backend engineer at Rally, you will be creating powerful, flexible, highly scalable APIs and developing various backend systems and operations. Additionally, you will architect, define and maintain our database and models, and ensure our systems can keep up their high performance and responsiveness. You will be responsible for implementing new features and integrations as well as supporting our existing functionality. You will also join us in sprint planning and retrospectives and have the opportunity to make a lasting impact on our stack and the future of ecommerce.\n\nThis is a full-time, fully remote role. Ideally, you are located in a European timezone, but we are open to other timezones on a case by case basis\n\n## What We’re Looking For\n- Minimum 5 years of experience in backend systems and API development\n- Advanced knowledge of PHP (minimum of 5 years)\n- Advanced knowledge of Laravel (minimum of 2 years)\n- Advanced knowledge of MySQL or similar relational database systems\n- Excellent REST API understanding\n- Excellent understanding of OOP concepts\n- Excellent understanding of software design patterns\n- Excellent time management skills\n- GitHub, Docker, Buildkite, and similar development tools\n- Ability to problem-solve, track, and follow up on a variety of complex technical issues with internal and external stakeholders\n- Ambition, the ability to think beyond, be highly collaborative, and extremely driven\n\n## Bonus Points\n- AWS Knowledge\n- Ecommerce knowledge\n- Scrum and agile development\n- Experience with high-performance systems\n- Deep understanding of database operations\n\n## How We Work\n**Remote: **We are a fully distributed team, with operations in the US and Europe. We’ll get you fully set up with a home-office stipend. For this role, we are looking for someone located in the EU timezone (CET +-2 hours is optimal)\n\n**No Crazy Hours: **We’re all adults and we trust each other to manage our time appropriately. There’s no need to punch a clock or ask for permission to take off early one afternoon to go see the doctor. We look at what you accomplish, not how long you are in front of a computer. We work hard and smart, but we’re in this for the long haul.\n\n**Responsible Time Off: **We want you to take time off; it makes you happier, healthier, and more productive. In fact, we have an unlimited time-off policy, plus two mandatory weeks for holiday break in December/January. It’s important you take the time you need, whether you’re caring for your health, the health of a family member, or going on vacation. (We look forward to seeing pictures of your trip in #the-pub Slack channel!) Be mindful of Black Friday through Cyber Monday. That’s our merchants’ busiest time of the year, and we need all-hands-on-deck just in case.\n\n**Grow and Learn: **We aren’t satisfied with what we already know; we want to learn more and we want you to as well. Think conferences (when those are a thing again), online courses and resources, and dedicated time away to learn something new…it’s up to you and your manager. Let us know what you need.\n\n**Benefits: Insurance coverage:** For our U.S. employees, we offer health, dental, and vision insurance. We cover 100% of your medical and dental premiums and 75% for vision. We also cover a percentage of the premiums for dependents.

Companies can search these words to find applicants that read this and see they're human.\n\n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n $40,000 — $80,000/year\n
