👉 Are you a talented web developer who loves WordPress? And do you get excited about building new features that will be used by millions of pet lovers every month? Then this could very well be the opportunity for you!

We’re Pangolia—one of the fastest-growing pet companies, and we’re on a mission to create the biggest, most helpful pet company in the world. Our largest sites: Catster.com, Dogster.com, Hepper.com, and PangoVet.com are visited by more than 36 million pet lovers every year, and we’re undergoing rapid growth.

Our media sites are all built on WordPress, and our own cat furniture e-commerce brand, Hepper, is running on WooCommerce.

In this position you would be the lead web developer, which will consist of fixing the issues that come up, proactively keeping our sites secure, and building new things.

We’re a 100% remote company so you’d have the freedom to work from anywhere. It's a full-time position (40 hours a week), yet you get to plan your own schedule and work whenever you want. You will become an integral member of our team at Pangolia consisting of a diverse group of more than 30+ talented individuals from all over the world, joining us on our united goal of building the biggest, most helpful pet company in the world.

📌 Note: We're a team who believes in working hard to get great results, but you won't be micromanaged to get there. What we provide is flexibility, ownership over your workstream, real responsibility, and pay for every single hour you work. But with every benefit comes an expectation. In owning the workstream, we might need you when it goes wrong (even on evenings or weekends). With responsibility, we need someone who will rise to that challenge and wants to be in that position.

💻 We’re looking for a fullstack developer. However, for this position, it is much more important to be great at backend coding than frontend design. Our sites already look great on the front end, but it’s mainly on the back end where a lot of work needs to be done. (we also have graphic designers on our team)

💬 Strong communication and team collaboration skills are a MUST. We're a remote company, so great communication is a fundamental part of making the company thrive.

—> All in all, this is a great opportunity if you’re an amazing developer looking to rapidly grow your skills whilst working alongside peers who are at the top of their field.

Big projects in front of us right now:

1. Make our websites the fastest loading websites when compared to our competitors, and have fewer display ads than the competition.

2. Build out the Hepper.com e-commerce experience: revamping checkout pages, category pages, product listings, and making sure that data analytics on Hepper is properly configured.

3. Clearing the big backlog of tasks that has piled up over the last couple of months. We are behind, and we have lots to do, so it’s important that you hit the ground running!

4. In this role, you would over the next 3-4 months hire 1-2 developers in your department. So, it’s crucial that you’re excited about managing, inspiring, and doing code reviews with other developers too.

You will be responsible for

• Making the webdev department kickass: catching up with the backlog of tasks, and being an amazing communicator.

• After 3-4 hiring months: hiring 1-2 web developers who will work under you. It’s therefore important you are excited about hiring, managing, and doing code reviews with developers. We can help teach you the skills to hire and manage developers, though, you must be excited about this for this to work.

• Developing new tools and software that help millions of pet lovers every month (could for example be to develop a Puppy Weight Chart Tool / Calculator that helps pet owners predict how fast, and how big their dog will grow)

• Developing, testing, and maintaining new features and solutions for our WordPress sites for desktop and mobile browsers that are optimized for high traffic.

• Create, review, and update technical documentation such as contributing to our development processes, QA procedures, and technical planning

• Communicating and supporting our content and marketing departments with dev/IT requests, troubleshooting, fixing bugs

• Performing scheduled and non-scheduled maintenance and security updates on our WordPress sites

• Always proactively being on top of things and securing and protecting our WordPress sites from hackers and malware, as well as eliminating risks

• Be informed of relevant new technology and best practices

You are expected to have:

• Experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript/jQuery, and PHP

• Experience with MySQL and managing databases

• Experience with WordPress development (e.g. themes, hooks, filters, plugin API, etc)

• Experience with build tools like Webpack or ViteJS

• Experience with Composer and a basic understanding of autoloading, dependency management, and dependency injection

• Experience with SSH and comfortable with basic terminal usage

• Experience with Git (and GitHub)

• Troubleshooting abilities (ie include finding CSS and JavaScript conflicts using browser developer tools, navigating codebases in theme and plugins, and determining whether a plugin or theme code could be causing a code conflict)

• The ability to take a project on your own and get it done before the deadline

• Strong communication skills. This is a MUST as we work remotely. (most of our communication is written in Slack with occasional calls)

The Type of Person We Would Love For This Role

—> You’re a dependable, friendly communicator

—> You’re passionate about solving problems with smart and elegant programming solutions. Your code is clean, understandable, and well-commented

—> You’re a self-starter who loves taking initiative and seeing things through to completion.

—> You have the curiosity and desire to learn and grow your skills and discover new modern practices and follow the latest trends in WordPress

—> You’re able to juggle around and work on different projects and side tasks on a weekly basis. While we wish we could focus on one thing for weeks at a time to make it perfect, that’s often not the reality in a competitive market.

Benefits/Perks when working at Pangolia

🌏 Work from anywhere (we’re 100% remote)

💡 Work with a hard-working, talented team of kickass people

🕑 Flexible work hours, you get to plan your own schedule and work whenever you want

🌴 Company retreats! (we just did a company retreat in Phuket, Thailand!)

💰 Your payment is paid biweekly (You’re paid every two weeks)

💻 We encourage you to find a working environment that suits your needs the best if working from home every single day isn’t for you. (We’ll cover monthly membership and/or day passes for co-working spaces.)

⛱️ 21 days of paid time off every year

🤝 Your work with a great, talented team that produces a high-growth work environment (we move fast)

📈 Opportunity to move up in the company, and earn higher pay and bonuses

Some things to know about our workflow

• Every Monday, we have a one-on-one Zoom meeting to discuss our goals, whether you are meeting your goals, what went well, what did not go well, and so on.

• You would work directly with the CEO, Simon, who trusts you with your responsibility areas and empowers you to come up with and for you to find the solutions. In other words: this role has a lot of freedom for you to work in the way that you think is best for the company. Simon and the team do not micromanage and have no interest in doing so.

• You’re also responsible for maintaining the Github repository of the project you’re working on, committing/pushing/documenting your changes, commenting on your code, and writing SOPs or technical documentation (if necessary). It doesn’t have to be pages long and can be very short and concise. But, as a developer, it makes life so much easier if you can return to your code in the future without having to think too hard about what you did. This is also about being considerate of your teammates' time.

• There must be some overlap in our working hours so you can respond to urgent requests (if any) or chat with your manager or any of our departments on demand if they have an IT question. This means that some extra tasks may arise during the week.

• You might have a day where one of our team members needs something urgent and needs it done the same or the next day, which can be valuable to the company, or a major issue needs to be fixed ASAP, in which case you might have to drop what you're working on and work on that. If your main project's deadline cannot be met because of this (which is understandable), you should be able to communicate this on time.

• However, most of the time you are able to work on your main projects in solitary. We understand that developers need complete focus. You can also chat and ask questions in our Slack channels.

The team (and our work culture)

You’ll get to be part of a 100% remote company consisting of a diverse group of 80 talented individuals from all over the world. The people you will find on the team are veterinarians, marketers, content writers, editors, social media managers, graphics designers, content managers, and a lot more.

And you’ll get to join us on our united mission of improving the lives of pets and those who care for them. We dream big, and our mission is to become the biggest, most helpful pet company in the world.

You’ll get to be part of a company that’s undergoing hyper-growth, and the fast-paced work environment that comes with it.

And we’ve managed to grow at a healthy pace without ever sacrificing our culture and values.

Our company culture is focused on work and collaboration, but also being open to the casual humor and chatter that makes us get to know each other.

We value the freedom of being able to work from anywhere, trust, and collaboration.

Hi!

Lightup Network Solutions GmbH & Co. KG is a small ISP and telecommunications service provider (VoIP) based in Frankfurt, Germany. Lightup's team is 100% remote, distributed worldwide (Germany, Portugal, Serbia, Morocco, Brazil, Colombia) and consists currently of just 7 mostly non-tech people. Now we need a hybrid Web Dev / Sys Admin tech pro to join our small team. Lightup was established in 1998 as a ISP focused on webhosting and dedicated servers. Since 2011 Lightup has shifted its core business towards internet-based telecommunication services, primarily so-called DIDs a.k.a. virtual telephone numbers along with international retail and wholesale call termination (VoIP, SIP). In 2022 Lightup became a licensed telecom operator in Switzerland and the wholesale business has been booming since then.

Your tasks would be:

• Short-term (now - 6 months): Create multiple new commercial telecom-oriented web-based services from scratch based on the team's ideas (PHP + MySQL preferred, but really up to you)
• In the mid-term (6 - 12 months), create, re-design & code from scratch successor sites for outdated Joomla-based sites
  
• Create Linux console-based or web-based scripts and tools to support the team, such as customer accounting scripts / accounting & billing automation or VoIP buy- and sell-rates output automation (Bash, Perl, Python, PHP - your choice)
• Take care of 30+ KVM-based VMs and the 20+ underlaying physical servers running CentOS
• Keep CentOS installations updated, migrate those which are too old to new installations
• Set up new VoIP customers in our VoIP system / cluster (Asterisk, Kamailio)
• Analyze, troubleshoot and fix SIP and DID call issues / Work & communicate with vendors and customers alike
• Provide technical customer & order support for our 2 Joomla-based retail telecom services
  
• Create a new API from scratch for lawful interception compatibility / requests
  
• Constantly communicate with the team (WhatsApp, Slack) and help them to make their non-tech jobs easier by the creation of cool & useful new tools
  

Some commands / tools that should be familiar:

• vim and vi
• ssh, rsync
• sort, cut, tail, head
• awk, sed, tr, wc
• grep, uniq, paste, join, shuf
• top (and understand what you're seeing)
• ps (and understand what you're seeing)
• ifconfig, netstat, tcpdump, ping, traceroute, mtr, whois
  
• ls, cd, cp, mv, rm, cat, echo, mkdir, find, date, df
• screen, less, more
• yum
  
• (Bonus: sngrep, kamctl, sipsak)

If you're not typing most of these commands multiple times on a daily basis into your SSH client or into your local console then you can stop reading at this point and skip to the next job offer. Else, since you are a Linux console person, please read on...

Some server daemons, binaries and tech that you'll be dealing with:

• Apache / httpd
  
• MySQL / MariaDB / mysqld / mysql
  
• sshd
• KVM / qemu / vncserver
• cron
• iptables
• Bash
• ProFTPD
• Asterisk
• pssh
• Kamailio
  
• X / GNOME
• tinydns / dnscache
• Nagios
  
• Sendmail, postfix, exim, SpamAssassin, Dovecot (via DirectAdmin)
  
• MRTG
• IPMI / KVM-over-IP
• BackupPC
  
• (Optional network admin bonus: Juniper M- and SRX-series routers, HP ProCurve switches, vrrp, BGP, RIPE)

Minimum languages that you'll need, software and protocols that you'll have to either already know or learn:

• Bash Shellscript
• PHP
• Joomla (from scratch, heavily modified, forget click-to-install modules/add-ons)
• MySQL / MariaDB
• Apache Webserver
  
• SIP
  
• Asterisk

This is a freelancer position, meaning you'll be responsible for taking care of paying taxes, health insurance, social insurance, pension fund etc. by yourself.

You'll be working just 6 hours per day, not 8 hours. But since Lightup's team is global and so are our customers those 6 hours will be spread over the course of a day European time (CET, Berlin) between 10:00 and 22:00. Imagine it like 12 hours standby per day (WhatsApp, Slack, E-Mail) but effectively 6 hours will be dedicated to Web Development, Sys Admin and Tech Support tasks.

Your profile:

• Highly self-motivated & independent, but still a team player
• Good communicator, friendly attitude
  
• Flexible, curious to learn & try new
• Very accurate, with tendency to perfectionism
• You're working careful and exact, and you re-read your changes multiple times before you actually save the file
• Multiple years Linux experience & created multiple web-based services (PHP + MySQL or comparable) from scratch
• You are a real coder, you don't drag & drop buttons and menus and call that coding
• You can edit / read / write code with a text editor on your Linux console and you actually understand what you're reading and writing
  

Education, age, gender not important. Yes, we're looking for a Linux / Web Dev geek / pro. If you're living in your mothers basement for the last 10 years that's OK. If you're never leaving your appartment that's OK too. If you're happily married and have 4 children that's fine too. Coding on laptop is inefficient and slow, so if you are a nomad you need at least a real keyboard + mouse or you'll be too slow.

Thank you for reading until this point and looking forward to read from you via E-Mail! :-) -> [email protected]

Welcome to Rebilly's Apply By API challenge!

You will be applying for the following role: 

We are looking for a tenacious, passionate, creative, software-driven individual to guide the design and development of our payments software. 

OBJECTIVE #1 Take on a project and see it to its end.

Potential Obstacles: We work by 6 week cycles (similar to sprints) where it can be easy to lose focus or forget to plan ahead to ensure the successful completion of your projects.
Actions: Understand the value of a successful cycle completion and use your tenacity to carry each project to the very end.
Results: Your project completion numbers in Jira are stellar and you have concentration available for the handful of projects on your plate. 

OBJECTIVE #2 Work as a synchronous team in a remote environment.

Potential Obstacles: Working remote has many personal and team-based challenges from timezone differences, to communication and trust of your colleagues.
Actions: Develop deep working relationships with your colleagues to know what they’re working on, and how to support each other.
Results: The team culture is strong, Rebilly’s bigger projects efficiently move forward.

OBJECTIVE #3 Help your colleagues raise their skills with thoughtful code reviews and feedback on ideas. 

Potential Obstacles: Your day will be filled with your own projects and priorities, and offering feedback to a remote team from afar can be intimidating. 
Actions: Prioritize your schedule and share your unique knowledge and experience to help make your team stronger. 
Results: Your team is more precise, creative, and their knowledge is deepened with your help. 

KEY FUNCTIONAL AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY

What will you manage? 
Each teammate receives a role within a small team per cycle that can include a handful of small projects, one large project, or staying outside of the cycle to support clients, bugs, and cycle planning. Along with that, you’ll be responsible for ensuring adherence to programming and documentation policies, code standards, testing, release, and reporting updates on your projects.

What will you contribute to? 
You will contribute to code reviews, generating projects for each cycle, feedback for ideas (including the ideas for other areas of the company), and hiring new teammates in the Product Team.

What will you support? 
Outside of generally supporting your teammates in the Product Circle, Rebilly is an open environment where everyone is welcome in every area of the company. You are welcome to support any project you feel called to participate in. 

How much support per project?
Teams working in a cycle can be 1, 2, or sometimes 4 people. You will lean on your cycle teammates to support the completion of the cycle, as well as receive support from teammates supporting the cycle. You can ask as many teammates to join your project as you need to complete the mission. 

SOME OF THE PROJECTS WE ARE WORKING ON

Customer Payments Portal - create a secure and highly customizable customer payments portal.
Proficiency in Information Architecture - support usability in our database and more.
Payment Gateway Integrations - expand our library of integrations.

HIRING PROCESS

1. Apply By API*
2. Small code challenge (unless you have extensive open source contributions)
3. Interview with the Product Team 
4. Interview with the Product Team Lead
5. Offer and Hiring 

The total process should take less than 2 weeks.

*We are only accepting applications through ApplyByAPI at this time.

WORKING AT REBILLY

Rebilly’s Purpose: Find and create freedom through your work. 

Rebilly offers a competitive salary, training and development, birthday lunches, and provides the computer of your choosing. Further perks and benefits are dependent on your work location of choice. 

Rebilly is a Teal Organization, meaning our organizational structure may differ than what you’re used to, but we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. In a very tiny nutshell, this means that as an organization we value self-management, self-organization, as well as the wholeness of the individuals that make up our team (meaning you should be yourself at work, and do the work that inspires you.)

ABOUT REBILLY

Rebilly is now a payments software after pivoting from a focus on subscription billing in October 2019. Rebilly’s comprehensive feature set is built to help our merchants get more of their customers from the order form to the thank you page, and more renewals paid. We took lessons learned from years of experience in the subscription business and millions of subscribers and applied them to make our payment system clever, flexible, and easy to use for our clients.

We start with the cliff notes about the position. If this appeals to you, continue reading for a more long text about working at Silverfin and your role 👇

According to our vision to build a diverse, equitable and inclusive organisation, our policy is to only make a final hiring decision if minority groups are sufficiently represented in the list of candidates applying for the position. For this reason it’s possible interviews get slightly delayed until we’ve reached that goal.

What can we offer you?

• Actual, proper work-life balance

• A salary range of €75.000 - €110.000 a year

• Choose your own working hours and work 100% remotely

• Personal growth training and opportunities

• Join a distributed remote-first engineering team with 35 colleagues in 15 different countries

• A refreshing work environment with professional, friendly and welcoming colleagues

• A €1000 yearly budget for conferences, courses, workshops or other expenses that will improve your skills

• We offer monthly company-wide Wellbeing Days for all employees (10 paid days off in 2022)

What will you work on?

• Building and maintaining integrations with accountancy software packages and APIs.

• Improving and expanding our on-premise Ruby client which runs on thousands of our customer’s systems.

• Designing and building features to make the lives of our system administrators easier, such as an auto-updater and continuous deployment.

What are we looking for?

• You’re experienced in both Ruby and Rails, and also understand where the boundaries lie between them. You can code in Ruby without any of Rails’ training wheels if necessary.

• You’re up for mentoring coworkers and can give in-depth, productive feedback during code reviews. While you appreciate the small stuff, you recognise bike-shedding and can avoid its pitfalls.

• You enjoy integrating with APIs and aren’t easily dissuaded when encountering unreliable or poorly documented systems.

• You code with reason and can justify the important decisions you made during development.

• You can communicate clearly in English, both in writing and verbally.

• You know and can apply best practices when relevant. That means the usual like version control, testing, and refactoring; but also higher level concepts such as good object oriented design.

• You're aware of the trade-offs involved in proper engineering and can make balanced business decisions, keeping in mind all the stakeholders of the project.

• You’ve got opinions on code design and you can discuss them, but you’re professional enough to not let those opinions get in the way of a consensus if necessary.

If you’re any good at Ruby, this is probably not the first job ad you’ve seen, so we’ve done our best to stand out while also accurately presenting what we’re all about. If it sounds like you would enjoy working with us, don’t hesitate to apply or drop us a line with questions on [email protected].

Ahum. Here it comes.

What’s a Silverfin?

At Silverfin we’re trying to apply the promise of software to the age-old industry of accounting. With our SaaS we’re automating a large chunk of the busy-work that accountants are currently handling manually, and are building new tools so they can provide better services to their customers. We aim to optimise their workflow in such a way that accountants can spend more time on the much more impactful and rewarding work of advising their customers, the business owners.

The good news is we’re succeeding in doing exactly that. Every day more than 15.000 financial service professionals use Silverfin to help and advise more than 200.000 businesses. Our customers adore us! The even better news is there’s still plenty left to work on, and that’s where we hope you come in.

What’s Team Syncs?

One of the core features of Silverfin is integration with the bookkeeping software that accountants already work with, in order to import their accounting data. This means we have integrations with over 30 different vendors, and we want to add more as we expand to different markets.

Team Syncs is one of the teams responsible for creating and maintaining these kind of integrations. The ideal candidate loves working with APIs, including the uncertainty they bring. Some APIs we need to use are poorly designed, badly documented or unreliable, and it can be challenging to build a robust integration. Yet the satisfaction of empowering our customers to import gigabytes of data from their clunky bookkeeping software and to use Silverfin's advanced features makes it all worth it.

Being a tinkerer and having persistence to solve puzzles will definitely be a plus to face our many challenges due to the plethora of different systems we interact with.

Now let’s give you something to chew on!

Our short-term roadmap will focus on:

• Refactoring and improving our own framework (written in Ruby) which is installed on windows machines and consumes our REST API. This process involves accessing raw data on customer’s machines and sometimes doing reverse engineering to collect and transmit the required data.

• Building an auto-updater for our system to be able to perform automatic updates of our Ruby client in a timely fashion over more than a thousand remote installations running at our customers’ premises.

• Improving our Ruby client’s performance

• Adding tools to our framework to debug, instrument and log errors.

Longer term we will then focus on:

• Refactoring internal data import pipeline. The main goal will be to move from sequential processing to parallel processing to improve syncs speed and stability by cutting through legacy technical debts.

• Improving our syncs interacting with 3rd party API to optimise the amount of queries we perform and reduce necessary pressure. Sobriety at it’s finest!

• Implement orchestration when downloading financial documents to improve performance and give our customer better feedback.

• Bringing our administration sync pipeline to the next level by integrating technologies only used by our financial pipeline.

What makes the engineering team at Silverfin special?

We’re a remote-first engineering team of 35 people distributed in 14 different countries. A priority for us is maintaining proper work-life balance. We avoid meetings as much as possible, accept deadlines only when absolutely necessary, and never expect anyone to work longer hours than they’ve signed up for. A day in our working lives is pretty boring, and we feel that’s exactly how it should be.

Working with us means you can be flexible with your schedule. It’s OK to disappear for a few hours in the middle of the day to run some errands, get a haircut, pick up the kids — whatever reason, you don’t need to explain yourself. You also fully decide when you take time off: our team is sufficiently varied and well organised that there are always enough people around to handle the load, and in the rare cases it’s not, we will decrease the load instead of asking people to move their holiday.

Being remote-first means we favour asynchronous communication. We don’t shy away from chatting in Slack, but the important decisions or discussions are done in Gitlab issues, over email, or in our wiki, so there’s a written, persisted record. We’re mindful of maintaining long chunks of focussed time, which means we avoid @-mentions or PMs on Slack, and other triggers and interrupts. We encourage using Slack’s DnD function, especially when you’re not working!

We’d be really happy to welcome you in our #engineering channel, but it’s not just virtual: we make sure we regularly get to see each other in real life too. Twice a year we fly the whole engineering team together to a different location in Europe, and at least once a year we join up with the rest of the company so we can spend some time together with the other departments.

What does working at Silverfin look like?

We work in nimble teams around 5 people in size, with each team taking ownership of a specific set of features of the application. Teams are responsible for a full slice across the stack, so both the backend as well as the frontend of each part is maintained by the same people. In team syncs, however, we almost have no front-end work to do, as most of of our work features do not involve a UI.

Our ops team ensures things run smoothly, deploys happen correctly, and will work with you when issues should arise. We’re enthusiastic followers of the devops mindset, which means ops and developers work together to solve problems, and empower each-other to be self-sufficient, instead of throwing problems over the wall to the “other side”.

We run an up-to-date Rails monolith on the backend, with PostgreSQL and Redis for persistence and caching, and everything is running on a Kubernetes cluster in Google Cloud. Our daily tools include GitLab, Quip and Slack, with Zoom as our remote conferencing tool of choice. Team syncs also owns a Ruby client app that runs on windows servers to interface with local accounting software.

No code gets deployed without a code-review by a peer and testing is a must. Our pipeline automates deployment when the suite is green, and deploys happen dozens of times a day. Each team is currently doing Kanban, but they’re free to follow whatever process suits them best. There are regular retros held to work towards continuous improvement.

Software for accountants is not considered to be very exciting, but we have our fair share of technical challenges. To give you a sense of scale: our database exceeds 10TB*, and our largest table has crossed the 10 billion row mark a long while back. We interface with more than 30 different external APIs, and provide third parties an API of our own.

*: Our ops team noted that this actually isn’t that hard to achieve if you’re just indexing everything, but it still sounds impressive, right?

What does your future look like?

Personal growth is key to staying motivated. At Silverfin you don’t need to move to management in order to advance. We see the individual contributor track and the management track as two different growth paths which every engineer can follow and switch between. You can be promoted, including pay raises, as a contributor just like as a manager.

Everyone has a €1000 yearly budget to spend on conferences, courses, workshops or other training to improve their skills and level up. This also includes accommodation, travel costs. If the conference is on a workday you’ll get paid like any normal day.

Requirements

• You have at least 4 years of experience working with Ruby, or 2 years of experience with Ruby and 4 years in one or more other programming language.

• You get Rails

• Your work hours have some overlap with EU business hours (we require your local timezone to be within CET +/- 3h)

Nice to have’s

These would be nice but are definitely not necessary. Don’t worry if none of the following applies to you.

• Experience as a remote worker in a fully remote team

• Experience working with large datasets and the problems they bring

• Experience in Fintech

• Accounting knowledge

• Knowledge of running Ruby on Windows machines

What is the job?

Looking for challenging responsibilities in the most promising tech industry? Join us as the first QA Automation Engineer (in this particular product team) in the crypto financial industry, and you will get the most out of using new technologies and test methods.

You will accelerate your career and constantly improve technically by tackling these issues and being able to utilize the personal £2000/year budget for learning & development.

You will challenge all user scenarios and test cases to investigate all possibilities of failure across a range of Web apps, and API applications. You will make sure that happy path scenarios function as advertised, and that a massive array of potential error conditions all fail gracefully, predictably and in a meaningful way to end users. 

During your first few months, you will start by defining the tools and frameworks required to have a complete suite of automated tests. This will involve diving into the applications features and functionality, rolling up your sleeves doing manual testing.

Who are we? 

At RDX Works, we’re a team of like-minded thinkers who have long been convinced that we’re living in the earliest stages of a global financial revolution. This revolution is being fuelled by decentralized finance (or DeFi for short), which is enabling an assortment of pioneering developers and entrepreneurs to re-invent almost every financial product that is currently traded and invested in traditional markets, without requiring central authorities or siloed infrastructure. DeFi has captured a great deal of attention and investment in the crypto-aware niche, growing assets under management from $1 billion to over $200  billion in a few years. Impressive as its growth has been, its current market size isn’t even a rounding error on the over $400 trillion held in traditional finance. We’re focused on what it will take to go from billions to trillions.

RDX went back to first principles to come up with the right technical solution—the first layer-one protocol built specifically for mainstream DeFi—and we have already tested out at over 1 million transactions per second. We’re keenly aware that the need for an infinitely scalable platform is only one prerequisite among many for mass adoption, and we’re also blazing new ground in the areas of purpose-built developer tools, user experiences, and regulatory integration.

We have forged a path deep into the future of what distributed ledger technology is going to look like and we need you to come and be part of the team that is making that happen right now.

Alternatively, if you feel like you don’t match all of the requirements, we would love you to still apply anyway. We understand that confidence gaps and imposter syndrome can get in the way of meeting incredible candidates and we wouldn’t want this to prevent us from meeting you; especially as we are big advocates of helping people learn & grow. This is also another reason we do not advertise salaries, we want to keep it as even a playing field as possible!

Hunter's product team is hiring a Backend Go developer! You'll become one of the key team members responsible for moving the data side of the Hunter application forward.

We love working as a small team and don't hire frequently. So this is a rare and exciting opportunity to join the team. You'll be part of the product team alongside Bastien (head of engineering), Bernardo (Backend Go developer), Mark (Ruby on Rails developer), Chris (Designer), François, and Antoine (co-founders).

We’ve set up a great work environment for our team, focusing on autonomy and growth. We take full advantage of the fact we’re entirely remote by focusing primarily on async communication and limiting the number of video meetings. Finally, you’ll get to participate in discussions shaping the future of the product.

About the role

At Hunter, we've been working from the start with one Go application (managing all our data) and one Ruby on Rails application (responding to users' requests). This setup has allowed us to be highly productive while our team stays small. We believe in always finding the most elegant way to build our product, and Go has been the ideal language to crawl, parse, and organize billions of public web pages.

As part of a small group within a young company, you will work on various projects over time, but you can expect that:

• You'll work on our main Go codebase that gathers, processes, and provides all the data of hunter.io.
• Within a few weeks, you'll become responsible for significant projects that will improve Hunter by building new critical features in our existing services. Over time, you'll help expand our product line.
• You'll take part in proving a crawler that processes billions of pages per month (https://hunter.io/our-data)
• You'll work with the rest of the product team to gradually increase the importance of NLP in our data pipelines.
• You'll get a high level of autonomy in your work and help shape future development efforts.
• You'll gather feedback from our Support team to find issues in our current system and improve it.

Hunter is a fully remote team, and this is a remote job. It is open to anyone located in Europe.

About you

• You have multiple years of experience working with Backend Development. Ideally, you have experience in Go.
• You enjoy dealing with complex problems and finding elegant solutions.
• You're confident you can have a high level of autonomy and enjoy making decisions for yourself.
• You're excited to take ownership of projects, set directions, and make calls. You're able to communicate clearly with your colleagues.
• You have experience in remote working. You're comfortable working primarily with asynchronous communication and don't need a lot of handholding or supervision.

About us

Salespeople, marketers, and recruiters use Hunter to reach out to the people that matter for their business. We index B2B data from millions of public web pages and make it convenient to explore with simple but powerful tools.

Hunter is the most popular solution to find professional email addresses. It is used by almost 3 million people and leading companies such as Google, Adobe, Microsoft, or IBM.

Hunter was founded in 2015 and is a self-funded company. We're a team of 11 people working remotely from Europe, America, and Asia. Twice a year, the team meets in a company retreat in Europe.

Backend Engineer - API Remote

Argyle is a fast-growing, remote-first Series B startup solving a systemic data problem.

Underneath the consumer finance industry’s decisions and processes is static, analog documentation—things like credit reports and paystubs—designed decades ago for a world that no longer exists. Meanwhile, credit bureaus buy, move, store, and sell consumers’ data without their knowledge or consent.

The result? A labyrinth of manual workflows and shortsighted underwriting models that obstruct financial access, compound operational costs, and impede innovation.

The solution is Argyle. We’re a real-time income data platform that lets our end-users instantly connect their employment records to apps and websites, so they can access and qualify for the financial resources they need to get ahead. Providers benefit from streamlined workflows and enhanced visibility that reduce costs and risk across the user journey.

Our mission is to give consumers the means to exercise ownership over their income, employment, and identity data in order to create a more equal, efficient, and effective financial system for everybody.

If you’re looking to join a fun and ambitious group of people working remotely across dozens of countries, apply today.
