We’re looking for a software engineer, strong with Go and SQL, who can work collaboratively on a fast-paced team, wants to own their projects end to end, and can find creative solutions to solve hard customer problems.

In this role you’ll work closely with Mattermost’s top customers to design, build and ship bespoke features and integrations that help them get the most out of Mattermost. This involves understanding their requirements, rapidly iterating to develop solutions, and deploy them much quicker than traditional product development lifecycles. As a part of this you will identify future features to bring into the core Mattermost product and work with the product & engineering team to do this.

Additionally, you will utilize your deep technical knowledge of software engineering, database, infrastructure, and networking to guide customers deploying Mattermost to large scale and highly resilient on-prem installations and private cloud (e.g. AWS, Azure). You will be instrumental in identifying opportunities to improve deployment processes and contributing to the development of best practices.

Through this work you’ll be directly supporting leaders in the tech, space, financial, federal and other industries.

Do you want to build fast? Do you want to see the direct impact of your work? Do you hunger for hard problems to solve? Do you want to contribute to one of the largest Go and React open-source projects? Join our team.

Responsibilities:

• Build custom software solutions using primarily Go and SQL, such as Mattermost plugins, for top customers
• Drive complex, non-standard deployments to a healthy state

• Continuously identify opportunities to improve deployment processes and refine best practices
• Collaborate with other engineering and product teams to share knowledge, learnings
• Assist Customer Success and Support teams with troubleshooting and incident response

Requirements:
