marketgoo is not only a "do it yourself" SEO tool but a company with a different culture.
Our project is to provide web hosting companies with SEO solutions that they resell. Our why is to build a company with a unique Culture, that creates impactful digital products.
Culture is Deliberate at marketgoo, and one of the pillars of our Company. It reflects on everything we do and of course on how we do it.
We make a conscious effort to cultivate it, and make sure that marketgoo is helping each team members achieve their personal and professional goals while living the life they want.
Some of our activities are based around Madrid for convenience, but we are a totally remote company.
marketgoo has grown non-stop since 2013 without a single penny of external investment. We are profitable with an amazing revenue per employee figure and we keep crushing our billing records month by month. However we are ambitious and we structured a 10 year plan to reach our goals. 10 years sounds long, but this is also key for us. We are not planning to work together for a short period of time. We look for somebody who wants to grow and develop his career with us on the long term.
Our success is based on a small team with a strong culture of ownership and transparency. We are 18 people and many external collaborators, with a turnover rate of almost zero.
At this moment we reached a point where organization and culture are not enough to bite everything we have on our plate, and that's why we are looking for a backend engineer who can help us with out platform scalability, reliability and performance.
You can read more about us, our core values and guiding principles in our Culture Handbook. Yes, we have a culture handbook. 😎
As a SaaS, our platform has to be strong, reliable and always up, so we want somebody with high seniority and experience scaling complex systems for high availability that can help us to detect future problems or bottlenecks in the system to improve in advance.
This person should be also able to help us to improve how we work, improving our delivery flow and our development environments. We don't have specific DevOps, sysadmin or SRE positions in the team but we want all the backend team members to be able to manage the system if needed, so any experience will be very appreciated.
Some technologies we use are C++, PHP, MySQL, Redis, Nginx or Docker. We don't expect that you already know all our technologies, you will learn over time.
You will take part in the decision making process and you will be accountable for your decisions. It's crucial in this team to have an ownership and delivery attitude.

In 1 month you should have had the time to learn how our systems are built, our methodology and you will have already met the whole team. During this time you will figure out how we work, how our culture is and where we need to improve.
In 3 months you will be participating in the technical decisions with the team. You will be working in our products like any other team member and you will have helped to improve our platform.
In 6 months you will understand our systems well enough to propose improvements and architecture changes by your own.
