We're Proof, a startup in the legal tech industry. We’ve built a best-in-class legal services platform that is used by thousands of law firms, and growing over 10% month-over-month. We’re looking for talented individuals to join our team as we continue to scale and grow as a company.

What you’ll do:

  • Play an integral role in the development of the Proof platform, working with a small but powerful team of engineers. You will not be a cog in a machine, and the work you do will directly impact the lives of tens of thousands of law firms, lawyers, paralegals, and individuals throughout the US, and eventually the world.
  • Conduct design and code reviews to ensure scalability, performance, and alignment with standards and best practices
  • Work in an agile programming environment
  • Write code primarily in Go
  • Help the team define and maintain development practices
  • Build out new features and service offerings
  • Refactor existing systems as we move towards a service-oriented architecture

What we’ll expect you to know on day one:

  • 5+ years experience writing production-grade code in a modern programming language
  • 2+ years recent experience writing production-grade Go
  • Extensive experience with at least one backend programming language (e.g. Go, Ruby, Java). Specific experience with Go is a plus.
  • Ability and willingness to learn and adapt to new languages and technologies
  • Experience with or desire to work with service-oriented architecture
  • You're a self-starter, take initiative, self-manage, and require little day-to-day direction to be successful
  • Proven understanding of REST APIs and the network stack
  • Strong relational database knowledge; design, query optimization, transactional execution, etc.
  • Knowledge to evaluate trade-offs between correctness, robustness, performance, space and time
  • Experience in taking ownership of features, while working with a team on short and long-running projects
  • Extensive experience writing automated software tests (e.g. unit tests, integration tests)
  • You're a proactive communicator; you communicate concerns and blockers early

Great to have, but not required:

  • Experience working on large-scale production go based application
  • Knowledge and experience of event-driven architecture and message brokers (e.g. RabbitMQ, Kafka)
  • Experience with large scale distributed systems and event-driven architectures
  • Experience with Typescript and frontend technologies

Benefits:

  • 100% remote, work from anywhere in the US
  • Flexible work schedule
  • Unlimited paid time off
  • $120,000 - $150,000 salary
  • Career growth opportunities
  • Health care, vision, dental, and 401k
