Thousands of businesses use Geckoboard to build TV Dashboards that
help drive growth and focus teams, by taking the complexity out of
connecting their data and understanding it at a glance. Some of our
customers include Airbnb, Slack, Netflix and Skyscanner.
We have a lot of interesting, creative work ahead and are looking for
curious problem solvers to reimagine how our customers get their data
into Geckoboard. You'll be joining a friendly team with great people in
an environment with empowered developers, flexible working conditions,
and a focus on skill development.
Who you are
We’re looking for a full-time Back-End Developer. You will help us
architect, design, and build Geckoboard’s future data pipeline, as well
as maintain and optimise our existing infrastructure and services. These
are currently built in Go and Ruby, but we believe in using the
technology that makes most sense for the job at hand, and value a
diversity of technical backgrounds.
You don't need professional experience with the Go language, but we
hope that you’ll share our enthusiasm for building fast and reliable
distributed systems that can operate at scale. Experience with
infrastructure automation and AWS is a plus.
More than anything, we value candidates who are excited about picking
up new skills and sharing what they’ve learned with the rest of the
team. We love people with a keen attention to detail and the willingness
to apply it in shaping all aspects of our product.
Life at Geckoboard
We’re constantly striving to ensure that we offer the most
encouraging, supportive and efficient environment possible. We want
everyone on the team to be empowered to influence our architectural
decisions. The whole team is involved in prioritising and evaluating our
work and we regularly program in pairs to share knowledge, promote
collaboration, and improve our code quality.
We don't just pay lip service to work-life balance, we actively and
strongly encourage it. Flexible working hours and the ability to
regularly work from home lets you work in a way that fits you and your
family. We see our contractual obligation to offer 25 days' paid holiday
as a lower bound, rather than a limit.
We actively contribute to personal and professional development and
have a minimum budget allowance to be spent on courses, conferences, and
books. We also run fortnightly "Innovation Wednesdays", where everyone
has complete freedom to work on anything that interests them, from
contributing to open source, to learning a new skill, or improving our
internal tools and processes.
Here are some examples of our Innovation Wednesday projects:
