Job description
We are looking for a Go engineer. We’re writing our next-gen API in Go, as well as starting to use it to process data and automate our infrastructure. That being said, a significant portion of our codebase is still in Ruby, so reading and writing Ruby is also going to be required.

You’ll be building new features and functionality against our stack
- REST API built in Go
- Primary datastore is MySQL; we also use Redis/Memcached/Elasticsearch.
- We’re building a thick client in Angular to consume the API.
- Large sections of our site are currently built in Ruby on Rails.

Skills & requirements
- 5+ years of experience building web apps. Ideally you’ve built high-traffic web apps before.
- Ideally you’ve written some projects in Go before, either for open source or professionally.
- Experience working with SQL databases (we use MySQL).
- Ruby experience is definitely a plus, as much of our code is Ruby.
