Backend Engineer (Go)

### The Role: We are looking for a backend engineer who is a Go expert. Additional familiarity with the Kubernetes and Helm APIs is certainly preferred but not required. You will be expected to push critical code on a daily basis, help to architect our backend, and also work on larger features that constantly expand the capabilities of the platform. ### You will: * Extend our API written in Go using native Kubernetes, Helm, and Docker client packages to be more reliable and scalable * Improve the developer experience on Porter by adding capabilities to our `cobra` and `viper`-based CLI * Work on auxiliary services, such as our cluster and infrastructure provisioner, written 100% in Go * Implement a custom k8s controller * Raise the bar for code quality and our engineering culture ### Who we're looking for: For this role, we are not looking for a generalist. We want someone who can immediately bring their existing experience to the table - elevating the standard for code quality without sacrificing rapid iteration and flexibility. As is the case with most early-stage startups, you should be comfortable with regularly shifting priorities. ### Tech stack: * Backend: Go, Kubernetes + Helm APIs * Web: React, TypeScript * Infrastructure: AWS, GCP _Our team is currently based in NYC, but we are open to remote hiring for those who can guarantee overlap with our core working hours (Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm ET). If you're in New York City, we're happy to discuss specific working arrangements._ Interested? Email your resume to jobs at getporter.dev and let us know why you would be a great fit for this role.
