Mid-level/Senior (Go) backend developer

Home Control connects buildings and homes. We started by making smart electronic devices (Home Control Outlet) more than 15 years ago and have over the years expanded and made our own full suite IoT platform. It is built to support communication standards, it is built for several purposes and can be used by governments, security companies, health care, utilities, and more.

We are extremely proud of our world-class privacy, the flexibility of the system, and the desire for constant improvement of the same. We do not compromise on security. How can a system be both flexible and secure at the same time - join us and find out yourself!

Without any false modesty, we believe that the architecture of our platform is one of the best in the business. It enables us to provide highly available and flexible service while maintaining a high level of security and privacy for our customers.

We have even more ideas and plans for how to improve it and, if needed, adjust it to fit business customers' requirements. That is why we are looking for experienced backend developers (primarily in the Go programming language) who share the same values of not compromising on data security and privacy and who are confident enough that they will get up to speed with our architecture in no time.

As a backend developer, you will get the opportunity to work on various parts of the system, starting from embedded programming (in Go) to cloud solutions to special customer assignments, until you find your sweet spot (or not if you want to remain versatile). We want you to strengthen our team by thinking proactively.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Support the entire application lifecycle;
• Collaborate closely with team members and other stakeholders to deliver high-quality code that meets requirements;
• Collaborate closely with the product design team, project management team, mobile application team, DevOps team, and QA team to connect all parts of the solution;
• Work in a continuous delivery agile environment and suggest improvements to the development process;
• Contribute to a positive, supportive team, and company culture;
• Keep up to date on cutting-edge technologies.

We care more about your work ethics, knowledge in data structures and design patterns, and experience with microservice architecture than actual expertise in Go. E.g. if you know C, C++, or a similar programming language, and If you are eager to learn, you will learn the new programming language quickly.
