\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.

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

Our software platforms have been a vital part of keeping such organizations successful and efficient.\n\nWho We Are\n\nWe are deeply committed to public service and progressive social change. We are 100% minority owned and operated with a diverse team, inclusive of gender, ethnicity, and race.\n\nPosition Summary\n\nThis role will focus on dev ops and back end/API development, but the ideal candidate will have a full stack skillset. Our stack is Postgres/Ruby/Rails/React. Right now we have a mix of HTML+jQuery and React but we are in the process of moving toward split app architecture. As part of that process we are building out a REST API and revamping our deployment environment. The latter would be the main focus of this position, but it would also involve pitching in on the React side of things when required.\n\nWe are seeking someone with excellent communication skills who will work as a team player and a self-starter. The ideal candidate should have mid-level experience, but they won’t be placed in some hierarchical structure. This position will work directly with the other developers, and will report directly to the CEO. The individual should be highly motivated to make a difference and to have an impact on moving progressive issues forward. Our employees’ opinions matter to us for the success of the company, and we want you to bring creative solutions to make our work better for our clients. Interest and understanding of politics and campaigns is a plus but not required.\n\nOur employees are from all over the country, and bring varying levels of experience to the company. First and foremost, we value honesty from all employees within our firm. We strongly encourage a work environment centered on open communication and conscientiousness. Working remotely gives our employees the ability to better maintain a work-life balance, but we expect that productivity and job performance will not be sacrificed.\n\nWe are a fully remote team so you will need to be flexible to work with staff in different time zones when necessary.\n\n\n\n\n\nResponsibilities\n\n\n* Improve and maintain deployment environment and tools\n\n* Design and build efficient, reusable, and reliable Ruby code\n\n* Integration of data storage solutions Postgresql and Redis\n\n* Expand and improve test coverage\n\n* Identify bottlenecks and bugs then devise solutions to these problems\n\n* Help maintain code quality, organization, and automation\n\n* Integrations with external APIs\n\n\n\n\nSkills\n\n\n* Experience setting up and maintaining deployment environments using Linux and Nginx\n\n* Knowledge of best practices and IT operations in an always-up, always-available service\n\n* Experience with automation/configuration management using either Puppet, Chef, or an equivalent\n\n* Ability to use a wide variety of open source technologies and cloud services\n\n* Strong experience with SQL and PostgreSQL\n\n* Advanced understanding of object-oriented programming\n\n* Experience with Ruby on Rails, along with common libraries such as Sidekiq\n\n* Intermediate understanding of the syntax of Ruby and its nuances\n\n* Intermediate understanding of Javascript and Jquery\n\n* Familiarity with front end frameworks such as Vue, React or Angular\n\n* Familiarity with concepts of MVC, ORM, and RESTful design patterns\n\n* A knack for writing clean, readable Ruby code\n\n* Ability to integrate multiple data sources and databases into one system\n\n* Understanding of fundamental design principles behind a scalable application\n\n* Able to create database schemas that represent and support business processes\n\n* Able to implement automated testing platforms and unit tests\n\n* Proficient understanding of code versioning tools such as Git\n\n* Familiarity with development aiding tools such as Bower, Bundler, Rake, etc.\n\n* Familiarity with continuous integration\n\n\n\n\nCompensation: Salary commensurate with knowledge, experience, and qualifications.\n\nPolitech is an Equal Opportunity Employer that greatly values diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.\n\nHow to apply\n\nApply with your GitHub account (or similar), resume, and cover letter. Introduce yourself to us as a colleague. Show us your future here! We value great writers, so be yourself, be creative. Stock cover letters won’t do. Tell us why you want this job. Let us know why you want to work at Politech and not somewhere else.\n\nYou should be able to show samples of your previous work upon request. \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Backend, Developer, Digital Nomad, React, JavaScript, Cloud, Ruby, API and Linux jobs that are similar:\n\n $65,000 — $120,000/year\n
