Go/Kubernetes Developer

Candidates please note: Remote in the US, UK, EU

The world loves Postgres. If you work with developers or data scientists or anyone wrangling data, you’ll probably see a sticker with the tusks and trunk of the Postgres elephant on the lid of a nearby laptop. EDB has a lot to do with that.

We’ve been major contributors to Postgres since the beginning, and we are proud to call thousands of boundary pushing customers our partners. Proud though we are, we are not resting on our laurels. There’s plenty of work to do. The good news is that everything we do will impact Postgres, which is to say that it will impact the world. No pressure.

We are looking for a great Cloud native, Go developer who possesses a strong understanding of how best to leverage Go to build and run compelling, user-centric, API driven applications on Kubernetes. Ideal candidates will take pride in delivering idiomatic, well documented, thoroughly tested applications that deliver value to their user.

Responsibilities

• Work in our Multi-Cloud Management team, designing, developing and selecting technology for our next generation management software, which runs as a “kube native” application in public, private, and hybrid cloud environments.
• Be part of a team that owns all phases of the product development life cycle, from conception to delivery to customers, including support/operation if required.
• Build quality and security directly into the product, by taking advantage of automated testing and CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaborate with engineering teams across the world, mentor, share information with and learn from other engineers and help drive continuous improvement of our platform, without losing focus on the flow that generates customers’ value.
• Bring an inquisitive, innovative & collegiate attitude to problem solving.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience as a GoLang Developer position
• Written non-trivial Go apps, deployed to solve real word, mission-critical problems
• Built REST APIs for UI applications, backed by a range of data stores (databases, lower level API’s etc.)
• Experience developing for Kubernetes (CRD/Operators etc.)
• Experienced in CI/CD development process

Plusses

• Understanding of the Postgres ecosystem, used/managed Postgres
• “Full stack” experience into the front end
• Modern software development tools & architectures (REST, graphql, gitops for example)
• Scripting languages such as Python, and developer tools like openapi, tekton
• Experience in a TDD environment, and the experience to know when testing is sufficient
• Have worked in a “you build it you run it” environment, familiarity with DevOps/SRE

• Experience with vendor-supported container orchestration platforms such as EKS, AKS, GKE, IKS, Red Hat OpenShift or similar environments
• Involvement in OSS communities (not just Postgres, though that’s a double plus!)

We know it takes a unique mix of people and skills to help us in our mission to supercharge Postgres, and we understand that not everyone will check every box. We’d love to hear from you and we want you to apply!

EDB is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. EDB was built on a commitment to trust and respect each other and to embrace an array of people and ideas. These values remain at the centre of our culture and are key to our company’s integrity.
