MachineShop offers an Edge Computing Platform for enterprises, OEMs and ISVs to easily connect to edge devices and their data to any infrastructure or application. We embrace the reality that organizations will distribute their computing resources between the edge and cloud and want to be the company that provides a powerful yet lightweight enablement platform at the edge. We are an API-centric platform architecting around state of the art technologies, especially Golang (Go).

We're looking for a strong engineer to help us execute and evolve our platform into a market leading offering. Our environment consists of the following:

• Edge Platform implemented in Go (golang)

• REST API platform (Ruby, Vert.x) with MongoDB data store

• Web portals (Sinatra/Rails) built on top of REST APIs

• All except Edge Platform live in AWS

Our focus in the coming months will be:

• Supporting existing customers, on-boarding new ones

• Rounding out and hardening our core Edge platform (Go)

• Porting our existing Vert.x/Ruby REST API platform to Go

• Porting our existing microservices to Go (yes, we're aiming to become a nearly 100% Go shop!)

• Containerizing the back-end, so customers can host this themselves.

• Enhancing our existing examples and SDKs (for Python, Groovy, Go, Node, C++)

Desired qualifications:

• 7+ years of professional software development

• Experience writing production software with Go

• Some familiarity with Ruby, Java, and/or Groovy also nice to have

• Bachelor's in Computer Science (or equivalent experience)

• Outstanding problem-solving ability

• Experience developing and maintaining complex, high-volume distributed systems

• Solid experience with NoSQL (and SQL) databases -- especially Mongo

• Feel right at home in a Linux command line environment

• Familiarity with AWS, ability to pitch in on some devops tasks a big plus

• Full stack nice to have, but this will be more focused on back-end

• Self-starter with excellent communication skills
