Golang Developer

Company

Jitsu builds an open-core, high-performance data collection platform. Our business is based on an open-source project called EventNative. Jitsu is a venture-backed company — we recently closed $2m in funding from a bunch of investors including YCombinator. We're looking for Go Developer!

• 70%: building EventNative core
• 20%: building hosted EventNative backend (see current alpha UI on app.jitsu.com)
• 10%: DevOps (ansible, docker)

What we're looking for

• Strong Go skills: Our main language is Go, but we could consider candidates switched from other programming languages
• Algorithms and Data structures: Understanding of algorithms, data structures, and their time and space performance
• Experienced with at least one Data warehouse: Postgres, ClickHouse, BigQuery, Redshift, Snowflake
• Quick learner: we constantly evaluate and adopt new technologies and tools
• Writing Skills: for an open-source company writing clear and concise documentation is as important as writing reliable code. Occasionally, you will contribute to public documentation. We also keep the most important part of internal communications in writing (example: our design docs)

Hiring process

• A 15 min interview with lead developer (Sergey) to make sure you have an aptitude for the role.
