Mattel (yes the toy company) is hiring full time Go devs to work on its IoT & identity server platform. Remote is OK if you're within the US. Both I and my manager (who would be your manager) are remote. I'm in Massachusetts, manager is in Ohio. Another dev in SF. Office is in San Francisco.
We're a small team inside Mattel that is having a huge impact. We are currently proving our chops with an API and IoT data processing for one product (the Sproutling baby monitor), but we're already working on expanding our service to be used by divisions across all of Mattel, including Hot Wheels, Barbie, and Fisher Price. Sproutling is a startup that was bought by Mattel last year. We've been working on a REST API using gin, and backend that stores data in postgres (currently migrating from GORM to database/sql boilerplate generated by github.com/knq/xo). We run on AWS using nomad, docker, and terraform, but we're investigating other deployment tools (including kubernetes, but we're not sure it fits our needs / timeline). We use lots of interesting tech, like MQTT, kafka, cassandra, postgres, traefik, logstash, flink, and prometheus. Oh yeah, and we write our own go services too, of course :) We use github for all our code, code review everything, slack for communication, google apps for email, jira for bug tracking and sprint planning - we do a very lightweight kanban/scrum style with two week iterations. All meetings are done in google hangouts. We meet in person approximately every 6 months. We're fast paced but low stress. Flexible hours, good home/work balance (and I say this as a parent of three kids ages 6 and under). Many of our devs have kids (including the manager of our team), so we totally understand about school plays, doctors appointments, etc. It's extremely rare to work late nights or weekends (I've worked exactly one weekend in the last 6 months). Pay is competitive for San Francisco. Benefits are great - health insurance is low co-pay, low premium (Anthem Blue Cross if you're remote, not sure if you're in California, I'd have to ask). 401k with match, 4-10% based on age. 1/2 day Fridays. 40% off Mattel toys (including American Girl, Power Wheels, Barbie, Fisher Price, Megabloks etc. A million other small benefits that come with working for the largest toy company in the world (life insurance, discount services, FSA, etc etc etc) Looking for experienced backend devs, preferably with a year or more writing Go for backend services, but please don't filter yourself out if you're interested, that's our job :) Respond here with any questions, or contact me on twitter https://twitter.com/natethefinch.
