• DB: PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, Redis
• CI/CD: GitHub, CircleCI, Buildbot

Requirements

• Strong knowledge of Go (3+ years): syntax, idioms, and common patterns
• Solid understanding of engineering fundamentals including algorithms, concurrency, multithreading, data structures, design patterns, networks
• Comfortable working with Python and Bash for read/write/maintain scripts

• Knowledge in computer science
• Good spoken and written English (B2+) for team communication and code documentation

Nice to have:

• Rust/C: some of our products written with C/Rust. It would help your work if you’re able to read/maintain/review code in Rust/C.
• Security & cryptography: basics of information security, symmetric/asymmetric cryptography, TLS.
• Linux: understand how application communicates with OS, difference between userspace & kernelspace, how to deal with blocking operations

• Build and ship new features in our core infrastructure products
• Write unit and integration tests
• Document new functionality clearly and concisely
• Share implementation examples for other engineers

What to expect from us

• We build applications for clients, write code for developers, and document how it all works — for both
• Everyone on the team is happy to help, but we also respect each other’s time and know how to find answers ourselves
• Tech writing isn’t our favourite task, but we do create solid technical documentation when needed, and we’re lucky to have a tech writer to help with that
• We prefer doing things right the first time over patching things endlessly later
• We value healthy perfectionism, a sense of beauty in engineering, and a good sense of humour

Hiring Process

• Test task — estimated time 3-4 hours

• Competitive compensation with a flexible and clear bonus scheme
• Paid vacation — 21 business days per calendar year
• Paid sick leaves
• Hybrid work model: this position allows for a combination of in-office and remote work as needed
• Combining technologies: hardware engineering, software engineering, cryptography, information security
• You will work with people deeply interested in security engineering, you will learn a lot
• Reasonable time budgets and an attitude to build things well — we prioritise building for decades, rather than just until the next release
• Conferences, books, courses — we encourage learning and sharing with the community. Our team members share a a lot in talks, workshops, and blog posts

Our software is well-known amongst security-aware teams, recommended by OWASP, and popular for easily solving complicated security challenges. Apart from building “off-the-shelf” solutions, we design custom security controls for novel problems. We work in the B2B space, with customers such as power grid operators, payment processors, legal companies, and million-user customer applications. We cater to young ambitious startups and well-established enterprises, that use our software and solutions as a core part of their security arsenal.
