About the company Geeks in the Woods are software engineers and angel investors in Alaska. Alaska is vast and remote. Despite its size, it’s a place of great connectedness.

Technology has advanced to the point that working remotely is not only viable, it’s becoming preferable. Geeks in the Woods are angel investors and software engineers based in Alaska working remote yet connected. We are on a mission to shape the Last Frontier into the Tech Frontier.

Job description
Are you a passionate GOlang engineer who enjoys the challenges and rewards of a small, experienced development team? Yes. Geeks in the Woods is looking for a software engineer like you to lead the design, development and iteration of software-as-a-service (SaaS). As part of our venture studio, you will be part of a small and agile team developing GOlang applications for one or more SaaS startups - building an idea into a scaling service that achieves product/market fit. With this opportunity, you definitely enjoy agile and lean development processes.
This position is designed to work directly with our co-founders and angel investors to assist with building software-as-a-service for startups they partner and invest in. You will lead the development of the core software for new SaaS startups. You will design and develop GOlang applications leveraging both cloud and serverless architectures with AWS. Your GOlang applications will utilize our open-source GOlang start tool kit for bootstrapping new software-as-a-service applications. Your learning will be incorporated into our open-source project to accelerate the growth of GOlang as an enterprise language and increase the adoption of GOlang of future tech startups.
The ideal candidate is resourceful and hands-on, and driven to work in a lean, intense, results-oriented environment with a high level of integrity and humility. A sense of humor is also a plus. You will work with some of the brightest minds in the GOlang community, and you will get an opportunity to solve some of the most challenging business problems in software at a scale that few companies can match.

- Lead strategic software engineering initiatives developing and deploying software-as-a-service to drive growth of SaaS startups

- Help define how code generation can be leveraged to build and maintain large software systems while still supporting the humanity required for innovative engineering
You are...
- Passionate about back-end development and working with high-volume services
- Prefer writing code that is procedural with GOlang rather than object-oriented programming
- An individual contributor at heart, that prefers to lead by example rather than managing others to create the change
- Team-oriented problem solver: No one knows everything, so let’s work together
- Resourceful: Think of a time when you were faced with a technical problem and sought out another programmer on the other side of the world who faced a similar problem, solved it, wrote about it, and shared it online
- Contribute to open source community and/or provide mentorship to community members
- Comfortable working outside her/his own domain / experience
- Comfortable operating at a high speed with occasionally ambiguous requirements
- Enjoy agile and lean development processes
Minimum Qualifications
