Our Software Engineers focus on the design, development and overall lifecycle of our software products. You’ll join a team of high-performing engineers who strive to improve Circonus’ monitoring and analytics platform. As a senior staff member you’ll be expected to operate independently, though your day-to-day will often involve working with a small team to create, support, and deploy production applications.

We’re seeking someone to help lead an effort to rewrite an existing monolithic web application towards a Go microservices architecture. Prior experience with such a rewrite is strongly preferred - please mention it directly within your cover letter or resume.
Responsibilities
o Work in the office or remotely, or both (but not at the same time)
o Design, build, maintain, and document our APIs and services
o Support our internal shift from a monolithic architecture over to a micro-service oriented model
o Design and implement software in Go, Perl, C or whatever language is appropriate for the task
o Complete unit, functional, and performance testing of produced deliverables
o Work alongside the Product team to ensure high quality deliverables
o Conduct peer reviews during design, coding and testing
o Coach and mentor team members
Qualifications
o 6+ years experience building, testing, and deploying high quality, highly reliable, scalable application servers and APIs in a team environment
o Strong experience in server-side development with Go and commonly used libraries; this is mandatory, please do not apply if you don't have real world Go experience
o Passion for quality-oriented, software development best practices including unit and functional testing, automation, continuous integration, and low-dependency architectures
o Comfortable working with git and GitHub for version control, including opening/reviewing pull requests and distributed branching models
o Experience working with project management software such as JIRA
o Excellent analytical, problem solving, and debugging skills
o Excellent written and oral communication skills
Preferred Experience
o Proficiency in Perl; our existing web application is wholly in Perl
o Experience with Linux server administration
o Experience with Docker
o Experience re-architecting and/or re-implementing a legacy enterprise application
o Experience and/or senior level technical knowledge of monitoring and analytics solutions
o Experience working with cloud service providers such as AWS and Azure; it’s helpful to have worked directly on software that relied on these public cloud providers to have a good assessment of monitoring requirements in these environments
