Staff Software Engineer (GOlang, Back-end) - Prague, Czechia

About the Team

The mission of the Email & Calendar Services team is to deliver the microservice constellation to support Outreach's email and calendar experience all the way through. From the compose to smart scheduling, send, telemetry and sync back to platform. Our team is processing literally millions of emails every day.

The team focuses on building reliable and performant services that connect Outreach to Customers’ email providers to send, sync and analyze email and calendar communication. This enables our customers to communicate and turns the millions of emails sent into valuable insights to help progress deals forward efficiently and effectively.

The team also supports the Email and Calendar Experiences team to provide ways to create, manage and organize content used in communications.

The Role

We are looking to grow the existing team by one more experienced back-end software engineer to join us; you would deep-dive on challenging technical problems, build scalable solutions and identify performance bottlenecks, iterate quickly and deliver incremental value and thrive in a collaborative team environment.

Your engagement would usually start with requirements clarification with the product manager or our partners. You will have the opportunity to put the best of your ideas to the design and prove your coding skills in actual implementation.

We primarily use micro-services written in GO on the back-end. However, we have legacy code in Ruby on Rails and you might encounter TypeScript too. We have data stores built on MySQL, PostgreSQL and various NoSQL databases like AWS DynamoDB. We are transitioning our data loading layer to use GraphQL.

Location

While we are remote-friendly, we remain an "office-centric" company. This role is categorized as hybrid and it is expected you live in a reasonable proximity to the office in Prague so you would be able to connect with your team on weekly regular basis, attend in-person meetings and company events.

This is a full-time, permanent role, not eligible for contractors and for work from other countries.

NOTE:

The offer is contingent upon successfully passing the background screening process.
