Job description
We are looking for a Senior Backend Developer to help build Bubbly, the Release Readiness platform helping software teams continuously release software with confidence and visibility.

Location: Helsinki, Finland (remote possible +/-3 EET - relocating / local preferred)
Salary and benefits package tailored to your needs.

Do you want to take a leading role in developing a brand new technology? Are you ready to take on an exciting challenge at an early stage startup?

We are looking for a Senior Backend Developer to help build Bubbly. Bubbly is a Release Readiness platform currently in development. We are on a mission to help lean software teams continuously release software with confidence and visibility.

About Bubbly:
The initial idea for Bubbly was planted a few years back. DevOps consultants working at Verifa continually received requests from customers for a tool to give them visibility across all their data and pipelines. So we decided to build one! In Summer 2020 with help from Business Finland funding, we built up a team and recently established a new company, Valocode Oy, to focus on Bubbly’s development.

At its core, Bubbly is a very lightweight data platform with data pipelines developed in HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language). Bubbly aggregates, queries and extracts data from multiple tools in the release process into a single dashboard, providing software teams with visibility and confidence in their release quality. Thus far we have built the core engine and UI, and are working towards releasing Bubbly as a SaaS product later this year. The team are big fans of open source, and Bubbly was recently released in open source public beta. Right now, we are self-funded with plans to secure pre-seed investment this year.

We are a small dedicated team consisting of both technical knowhow and business acumen, and we are currently looking for two more team members - Frontend Developer and Senior Backend Developer. So there is plenty of room to take a leading role in developing a brand new product. And as we are an early stage startup, there is the possibility to have ownership ín the company.

About the role:
You will have a crucial role in developing the Bubbly backend which is entirely written in Golang. We are using NATS (https://nats.io) and a service-oriented architecture (not quite microservice) where the services communicate via NATS message queues. Postgres is the primary database right now, but we have plans for immutable, append-only databases in the future for more compliance-related activities. As the team was founded from a DevOps company, Verifa, we enjoy our DevOps practices and would hope you will enjoy it also.

Must Haves:
- Solid knowledge and experience developing in GoLang
- Solid experience with NATS (https://nats.io/) or other streaming/event-driven systems
- Practical experience with GraphQL
- Solid experience with PostgreSQL
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English

Nice to haves:
We would also appreciate experience or knowledge of the following technologies and practices:
- Google Cloud
- Kubernetes
- Terraform
- SvelteJS
- Blockchain
- Data science
- HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language)
- CI/CD & DevOps (continuous practices)

This is a full-time position. We're located in Helsinki. Remote work is possible with a timezone requirement of +/-3 EET.
