Backend Engineer; Go

Backend Engineer

We are looking for a backend engineer who is a Go expert. Additional familiarity with the Kubernetes and Helm APIs is certainly preferred but not required.

You will be expected to push critical code on a daily basis, help to architect our backend, and also work on larger features that constantly expand the capabilities of the platform.

You will:

• Extend our API written in Go using native Kubernetes, Helm, and Docker client packages to be more reliable and scalable
• Improve the developer experience on Porter by adding capabilities to our cobra and viper
  -based CLI
• Work on auxiliary services, such as our cluster and infrastructure provisioner, written 100% in Go
• Implement a custom k8s controller
• Raise the bar for code quality and our engineering culture

Who we're looking for:

For this role, we are not looking for a generalist. We want someone who can immediately bring their existing experience to the table - elevating the standard for code quality without sacrificing rapid iteration and flexibility. As is the case with most early-stage startups, you should be comfortable with regularly shifting priorities.

Tech stack:

• Backend:
  Go, Kubernetes + Helm APIs
• Web:
  React, Type Script
• Infrastructure: AWS, GCP

Our team is currently based in NYC, but we are open to remote hiring for those who can guarantee overlap with our core working hours (Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm ET). If you're in New York City, we're happy to discuss specific working arrangements.
