Hi, we’re Monolith. We pioneer making it easy, safe amp; fun to grow money, using the power of decentralised technology.
We’re a high-performance team of around 30 people. We have freedom and responsibility, a culture that encourages innovation, offers ownership and embraces knowledge sharing. We have big plans to grow!
We’re working entirely remotely. When it’s safe to do so we’re looking forward to folks collaborating in person again but remote remains totally cool! Our current preference is for people based in the UK or Netherlands, but we'd be open to those based elsewhere (if the timezone works).
Role
We’re looking for a mid level Go Backend Engineer to join our small backend team. You’ll be critical to building our user-facing products, as well as the behind-the-scenes systems required for us to offer these products.
Our backend stack consists of Go and Node.js / TypeScript services, communicating using gRPC. This all culminates in a GraphQL API that is used by our mobile app. We use Kubernetes with the Google Cloud Platform, including its Firestore amp; Datastore databases, BigQuery, Pub/Sub and more.
Among other things, our backend is responsible for user authentication, dealing with the Ethereum blockchain, performing Know Your Customer and Customer Due Diligence tasks, managing our payment card, and powering our mobile app. It also needs to help other teams get their job done.
Requirements
For this role you’ll be expected to primarily write Go code, as well as occasionally contribute to our TypeScript based services. You shouldn’t be averse to interacting with Kubernetes or Google Cloud Platform either if that’s what’s needed to ship.
Prior experience building and maintaining cloud native, microservice-based products is a necessity.
Collaboration, within the engineering team and across the organization, is critical for our success. We expect you to be an effective communicator.
Experience with software development platforms like GitHub is a must.
