Role: This role is for an experienced programmer who wants to work with a multi-skilled team of designers, researchers and developers. We’re a growing company — your Rails & Linux knowledge is going to be crucial to that.
Bytemark is looking for a developer who likes to deal with high performance, reliable server-side code. We will want to see some record of achievement in programming, though this might be from projects that were personal or not developed as part of your day job.
Bytemark (York, UK) are looking for a software engineer to join our team of four. We hope that’s you! You’ll enjoy working with high-performance, server-side code on Linux, with a keen eye to performance and detail. We will want to see some record of achievement in programming, though this might be from projects that were personal or not developed as part of your day job.
There is potential for this role to become a more senior within 12 months for the person who is up for taking on challenges they see around them while balancing their workload.
We build our own cloud hosting infrastructure targeting UK developers, and we have a history of building hosting products on innovative technology. That’s how we made our own cloud hosting stack, storage system, and network routing systems; we’re not afraid of challenges, and have learned how to turn inventive engineering decisions into high-value production systems. We love putting these new ideas into production for our customers. Our uptime and long-term reputation is the success that we cherish from all of this work.
The main languages we use are Ruby and Go, but if you’ve completed work in C++, Java, Python or similar languages you’ll get on just fine. We use Rails for many of our web-facing APIs and internal applications, so you will need understand the back-end of a typical web stack, even if you’ve not picked up Rails yet. SQL database experience will also be useful — we use MySQL and PostgreSQL extensively in our applications.
We’d be particularly excited to meet you if you know very deep, technical parts of the system, such as the Linux kernel or the networking stack, because that’s where we’ve done a lot of innovative work (e.g. our network storage server flexnbd). We’d very keen for you to apply your knowledge in new and bold ways to continue improving on this.
Location: This position is based in our York office, but fully remote workers can be considered if you have the experience required.
