You will play a key role in creating these new systems, help develop and document new best practices, and establish baseline performance for our critical systems going forward.

What We Must Have

• 3+ years of experience as a professional software developer.

• Experience working on Agile teams.

• Experience building production web services.

• Experience utilizing engineering best practices (design patterns, unit testing, code reviews, etc.)

• 2+ years experience using Git.

Nice To Have (but not required)

• Experience with deployed microservices & coordination (i.e., Consul, Kubernetes).

• Experience with SSO (i.e., SAML, OpenID).

• Experience programming in Go.

• Advanced knowledge of Git.

• Experience with Postgres, microservices frameworks and non-RDBMS data stores.

• Familiarity with Cucumber-based BDD Testing.

• Linux

Our Engineering Team + Tech Stack

As developers, we work collaboratively across all teams and roles to determine the right tools for the job at hand. Working on multiple products and projects at a time, we partner with our product and customer success teams to ensure customer needs are met and that we make things more awesome, faster. Our RESTful API is built in Go atop a Postgres graph database to deliver data to multiple web and mobile clients. TreeTop’s infrastructure runs entirely in the AWS cloud, taking a CI/CD approach with automated testing supplementing manual testing to ensure quality while delivering quickly.

NOTE: While most of our team is in Portland, we are open to hiring remote developers within North America (note: you must be eligible to work in the US without H1B sponsorship) for whom relocation is not an option.
