Backend Engineer

Tackle.io enables enterprise software companies to accelerate the use of Cloud Marketplaces like AWS, Azure and Google. Our vision is to transform the way software is bought and sold with a laser focus on helping customers build and drive significant channels of revenue through the Cloud Marketplaces.

You’d be a good fit if you value:

• Progress over process
• Treating one another fairly
• Pragmatic solutions
• Flexible, remote first culture
• Light-weight process and high autonomy

About The Opportunity:

Software Engineers, predominantly focused on our server-side technologies will be a part of a well-funded, fully remote, growth-stage company helping shape the way that software is bought and sold in the Cloud Marketplaces (AWS, GCP, Azure and Red Hat). We are built on the foundation that a 100% remote team can be the healthiest, happiest and most productive; from the beginning we have been intentionally building a phenomenal culture that ensures everyone feels connected no matter where they are working from. Our platform has enabled some of the software industry’s most successful names to get listed, start selling, and scale their Cloud Marketplace operations.

Tackle’s Engineering team is growing, and we are looking for talented engineers to craft solid and reliable software at a sustainable pace. We balance consistent innovation and improvement of existing products with new and exciting greenfield projects. You will work in an exciting, positive environment surrounded by kind, talented, creative people. Tacklers have a bias to action, and we act without ego; in all interactions we know it is critical to respect, value and support each other. We succeed and fail as a team, with a mindset of pursuing success instead of avoiding failure. Wellness is a critical pillar of the company and we live this value in a variety of ways, with empathetic servant leadership at every level and flexible working hours to ensure a healthy work-life harmony.

Developer experience at Tackle is rewarding; we work with modern toolchains and pipelines, where code is deployed to production multiple times per day. In this role, you will work directly with our Product team to build APIs and core services for internal and external developers. Working on a development team at Tackle, expect to grow and evolve as an engineer by building and executing on a detailed growth plan tailored to your interests and aspirations.

In This Role You Will:

• Be a part of an autonomous team of 5-7 engineers, a dedicated Product Manager and UX support to build, enhance and maintain existing areas of the Tackle platform.
• Solve technical problems of moderate scope and complexity.
• Write code that is focused on scalability, testability, supportability and maintainability.
• Own your code start to finish, take pride in what you build.
• Actively and enthusiastically participate in thorough code reviews and troubleshooting complex issues.
• Mentor less experienced software engineers and learn from those who are more experienced to set the standard for the next generation of Tacklers.
• Be curious - strive to understand how your contributions tie into the larger picture of your team, your product and Tackle as a whole.
• Welcome different perspectives - be open and inclusive in every interaction.
• Limited company travel to the company offsite and product development offsite annually.

You Should Have:

• Previous professional experience building modern, scalable and high-performing backend services in either Python, Go, NodeJS, Ruby or Java.
• Development experience leveraging either SQL (Postgres or MySQL) or NoSQL databases (DynamoDB, MongoDB or Elastic) for data storage.
• Desire to hold yourself and the team to high standards while evaluating technical trade-offs and delivering balanced solutions.
• Are self-motivated with strong organizational skills.
• Have a positive and solution-oriented mindset.
• Will thrive in a fully remote organization where flexible schedules require asynchronous communication.
• Communicate clearly and effectively in both verbal and written form.

You Will Stand Out:

• Professional working experience deploying applications and managed services within AWS.
• Have experience building RESTful APIs in Python using the Flask or FastAPI frameworks.
• Have experience with PostgreSQL and/or DynamoDB.
• Used Docker or serverless technologies.
• Deployed and released code with a commercial or open source CI/CD pipeline tool.
• Have experience working with automated testing frameworks.
• Have experience with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
• Have a robust public portfolio in GitHub.
• Previously worked in a remote-first company.
• Have experience working in a rapidly scaling organization.
