Senior Backend Engineer (Golang)

What does success look like for you? For folks here, it means thriving in a high-autonomy environment and tackling complex problems in a technical space that is constantly changing and evolving. Engineers on our teams are focused on writing great code, but also collaborating with Product, Design, and other team members to define what games mean on the blockchain, and creating this new opportunity for our users. 

We need an experienced backend engineer to help us achieve this. You'll help shift the technological landscape within the company through experimentation and auditing of emerging tech stacks, while shaping the way a new technology is introduced to, and adopted by, new audiences throughout the world.

Dapper Labs is at an inflection point in our journey and it might be the perfect time for you to join us. Less than 6 months ago we launched NBA Top Shot on the new Flow blockchain and it is already on track to be the fastest-growing marketplace in history. Over $200 million in sales in the past 30 days and nearly 300k active users driven by organic growth. We're now profitable and ready to invest in building out the ecosystem so everyone can benefit.

Our ideal candidate:

• Quickly gains proficiency when exposed to unfamiliar technical patterns, systems, or languages
• Is able to unblock individuals when they are faced with technical challenges
• Is a strong communicator who can collaborate well with other non-technical functions (e.g. Product & Design)
• Has the courage to try out new tools, fail fast, and dive into unknowns to solve new and challenging problems

Bonus points if you have the following:

• Familiar with our commonly used technology choices (Golang, Node, Javascript)
• Developing DApps or interacting with blockchains
• Understands the deployment process, and is comfortable with Docker, containers, and Kubernetes
• Event driven architecture, familiarity with kafka and comfort with having eventual consistency across multiple services
• Has a strong understanding of application and API security
