π Please reference you found the job on Remote Software Engineering Jobs, this helps us get more companies to post here, thanks!
Build for Builders. Ockam is a suite of open source tools, programming libraries, and managed cloud services to orchestrate end-to-end encryption, mutual authentication, key management, credential management, and authorization policy enforcement β at massive scale.
We are devoted to building a team of people with diverse backgrounds and lifestyles. We hire globally and believe that the unique perspectives and contributions of all our team members is the driver of our success.
Driving equality empowers our team, enables us to innovate, and helps us maintain a more inclusive environment. We donβt discriminate against anyone based on gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, age, race, military/veteran status, citizenship, pregnancy status, or any other differences. If we can do anything to provide a better interview, i.e. accommodate a disability, then please let us know.
Ockam is a distributed, remote-first team with a headquarters in San Francisco California.
We are seeking a talented Senior Product Engineer with experience building simple, clean, and elegant developer experiences; including APIs, open source libraries, documentation, user guides, and demos in the open source developer ecosystem.
This is an exciting role where you will work at the intersection of our open source community, customers, and the Ockam product development teams.
This role is highly technical and very hands-on given the technical aspects of Ockam's product and the use cases we encounter. You should be able to write code in multiple languages and have a keen interest in Rust and open source library design - this is a great opportunity to jump into the Rust ecosystem in earnest!
Expertise
Experience
Not sure you meet 100% of our qualifications? Please apply anyway!
We attempt to complete the entire process with a candidate within two weeks. Because Ockam is a remote first company the entire process will take place over video calls and through asynchronous collaborations in Google Docs, Github and email.
Our interview process consists of three parts - Hiring Screen, Starter Project, and a Culture Conversation.
Hiring Screen
The hiring manager for the role will reach out to you via email and schedule a 45-60 minute call.
The purpose of this call is to understand if and how you could fit into the team. Help us with this process by giving relevant background about your experiences and interests. If we have a hypothesis for how you could fit into a full time role we will proceed to the second round.
You should be prepared to discuss the following:
OSS Starter Project
If we ask you to move to this round, we have a strong thesis for your potential on The Team.
We will introduce you to a small project to work on, this will be a relevant issue to our team and codebase. The output to this project will be in the form of a pull request or a writeup in a Google Doc. We will then schedule a Starter Project interview in which you'll talk about the problem you're solving for, your thought process and approach to the solution, we'll have a healthy discussion about it and possibly also ask you questions about your background and experiences that are relevant to the topic of the Starter Project.
There are two primary goals in this exercise.
Culture Connection
As you wrap up your OSS collaboration exercise you will spend time discussing the Ockam culture, and our values and virtues with our CEO, Matthew Gregory. In this stage of our process we want to expose as much of the culture to you as possible to help you make an informed decision about the type of team you will be committing full time to.
Prior to this stage in the interview process you should be familiar with how Ockam defines a High Performance Team. Be prepared to talk about specific examples where you felt like you were (or were not) on a High Performance Team. Also share stories about how you have put your team first and empowered others to be their best selves.
