Job Description: Full-Stack Engineer (Go)

Location: Wallingford, Oxfordshire (Monthly visits)

Job Type: Permanent, Full-time

 

At Dexory, we believe that real time data will revolutionise the logistics industry. We are building a platform that provides companies with real time access to their operations. Our autonomous robotics technology combined with our data insights platform help our customers to measure, track and find goods across warehouses in real time, and to build the ultimate digital twin of their facilities.

To make this happen, we want to find people driven by passion and curiosity to join us. We work on complex technical systems, but we don’t just need your technical skills – we want to find people who care about what they are building, and about working as a team in a challenging environment to deliver innovative solutions that impact one of the most important global industries. In this role you will have the opportunity to transform your ideas into tangible products and services, pushing the boundaries of technology and user experience.

If you’re a passionate technologist, but also see yourself as an innovative problem solver and a team player, then this is the opportunity for you.

We value humility and we're as interested in your character as we are in your talent. Please apply, even if you feel you only meet part of our listed criteria. Diversity drives innovation and we offer an international and friendly work environment with an energetic company culture.

What does this role involve?

As a Full-stack Engineer (Go) you will play a key role in designing and building the software platforms that deliver data and insights to our customers. You will work on a small team and focus primarily on building the core platform that supports our teams in delivering software to robots, managing their operations, retrieving the data that they collect, and providing tooling to help our team monitor these processes.

You’ll have the opportunity to work on projects such as our networking systems, software to monitor the state of our robots’ hardware, APIs for exposing robot operations to external systems, and tooling to deploy and manage the software release process. This is a full-stack development role, and involves building software that interacts directly with hardware as well as building high-quality, web-based user interfaces.

As a senior member of the software engineering team, you will share responsibility for both implementation and system design of new projects, as well as updates, improvements, and maintenance of existing systems.

We’re still an early-stage company with a technically complex system, so we’re looking for a motivated individual who can help move the product forward. The ability to think on your feet, collaborate with other highly technical teams, and take an open-minded approach to problem solving are essential.

Requirements

You will need:

• 6+ years of experience shipping software products
• Good knowledge of the Linux platform generally
• Extensive experience building web applications using Go
• Experience with agile workflows, automated testing, and continuous deployment
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and teamworking skills

 

It would also be helpful to have:

• Experience using React and Typescript to deliver the front-end
• Previous experience with developing software for hardware devices or robots
• Knowledge of other development tools, languages and frameworks
• Experience with WebSockets, WebRTC, gRPC, or other systems used for real-time communication and control
• Experience in architecting and designing large-scale, end-to-end systems

We are especially interested in candidates who are flexible in their approach to technology, and willing to learn and use suitable technologies and frameworks as appropriate for specific tasks.

Example projects

You’ll work on a variety of different projects as we continue to build our platform. To give you an idea of what kind of work you’ll be doing, some recent projects our team has worked on include:

• Building an on-robot web application to allow real-time teleoperation of a robot using WebSockets and WebRTC.
• Designing and implementing a mission execution platform in Go, which allows users to design, schedule, and monitor the execution of autonomous operations.
• Building a fleet management platform which gathers data from all robots and feeds status updates into a central system.

Culture and benefits

As a company, we’re still in the early phase of our life. We’re a small team for the quality and complexity of the products we are building, but we have a great platform in an advanced stage of development – and as an early engineering hire, you’ll play a significant role in shaping the future of our engineering culture. We have a strong focus on building a culture of openness, collaboration, and high performance, but want to ensure a sustainable pace of delivery.

We are a friendly team with our own office, workshop, and warehouse spaces in London and Oxfordshire. We welcome applications from candidates across the UK – however, the nature of our work with hardware means that some on-site visits are required, and you’ll need to visit at least once a month. 

You’ll receive a market-rate salary, stock options, and whatever equipment you need, as well as an annual training and conference budget.
