Job description
What it’s like being part of The Pach

Pachyderm is a rapidly growing, Series B company funded by the top VC’s — Benchmark, Decibel, M12, and YCombinator. Pachyderm has always and will always embrace a “Remote-first” approach to growing our team. This allows us to hire a diverse group of individuals across the country (and world!) while giving our team members the flexibility to work from anywhere.

Being a member of The Pach means joining a supportive team that cares about you, values kindness and works hard to create an open and transparent workplace.

Pachyderm is still small, so joining means you are getting in right at the ground floor and have an enormous impact on the success and direction of the company and product.

The Role
Love Docker, Golang, and distributed systems?

Pachyderm is hiring backend systems engineers to help us build out the cloud product -- a scalable data science platform as a service -- Pachyderm Hub. You’ll be solving complex distributed systems problems every day and building a best-in-class platform as a service.

Our customers trust us with your most critical data science projects, hence your primary focus will be the development of highly available and mission-critical systems. You will own the API’s, backend services, and distributed systems for Hub. Your main focus will be the development of new features, improving existing functionality, and improve the health of the services by participating in on-call. You’ll also have direct exposure to our users and you will have a significant influence on our feature/product roadmap.

Pachyderm is just a small team right now, so you'd be getting in right at the ground floor and have an enormous impact on the success and direction of the company and product.

We offer significant equity, full benefits, and all the usual startup perks.

Qualifications:
Experience working in backend services, data infrastructure, or distributed systems
2+ years of engineering experience working with complex distributed systems, relational databases, or cloud/web services
While it is a bonus, experience with Golang is not a strict requirement. Programming languages are just part of your arsenal and we’ve found that great engineers have no problem learning new tools.
Must have strong communication skills when talking about technical concepts
Things change quickly as our product develops and breaking down major features into smaller and more easily executable PRs is an imperative skill.

Benefits:
Significant equity, 401k and full benefits (100% medical, 99% dental and vision, 50% for all dependents).
Flexible PTO - work/life balance is important and we want you to take time off to rejuvenate!
Remote friendly- we were remote before remote was cool and we intend to continue to invest in a remote first culture.
Tons of fun swag and surprise packages sent to your doorstep.
Tech and office stipends - what you buy is yours to keep.
Education and donation stipends - we want to support your career growth and the community.
Supportive parental leave (see also: work/life balance).
Encouraged fun - game days, fun activities, zoom hangouts and more (and - when responsible - visits to our home base for team on-sites)

We can’t wait to meet you and hope you’ll join our PACH!
