Help us rebuild the oldest system in the world - the agricultural supply chain

Silo builds technologies which bring efficiency and transparency to the agricultural supply chain. Our modern ERP dramatically increases profits, improves product freshness, and reduces food waste for wholesalers, distributors, shippers, and importers.

We are a highly motivated team of engineers, designers, business and agricultural specialists taking on the challenge of transforming a centuries old industry. We are looking for self-motivated team members who crave a challenge and feel energized to work cross functionally to realize Silo’s enormous potential.

Why Silo

We will work hard to make sure your decision to join us is worthwhile and rewarding. You’ll learn how a start-up operates and learn skills that will help you at any point in your career. You will be empowered to take initiative and get support to execute an idea from beginning to the end.

The Role

You will work with other back-end and frontend engineers to design effective APIs providing a great user experience. Our back-end is currently written in Go and connected to a Postgres database, all deployed on AWS through Kubernetes.

What You'll Do

  • Collaborate on software projects with product designers and frontend engineers (and even our end-users if you’d like!)
  • Implement efficient and robust algorithms for product features
  • Develop, release, and maintain back-end services and/or infrastructure
  • Work with frontend engineers to design flexible APIs
  • Manage individual project priorities, deadlines and deliverables

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience building high-availability software in a production environment
  • Strong knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and software design
  • Experience with Postgres, MongoDB, or other major database solutions
  • Willingness to learn and grow in a fast-paced start-up environment
    • Bonus points for:
      • Proficiency in Go
      • Experience with REST- or GraphQL-based API design
      • Familiarity with SQL query and Postgres DB performance optimization
      • Intuition in good product design
Benefits & Perks

  • Silo offers a competitive salary and commissions, as well as comprehensive company-sponsored health insurance, wellness and meal stipends, flexible time away and paid parental leave - in addition to a great company culture and team!

We are committed to building a diverse team of people from a wide variety of backgrounds, and encourage anyone to apply.
