I’m an engineer at InfluxData. Our whole platform is written in Go, including our entire time series database. We’re hiring for a number of position, all of which will involve either writing or reading a significant amount of Go code.
I have a couple of question. How experienced would one need to be with Go in for those roles, and also is this experience expected to be professionally? Since I’ve been using Go on side projects for over two years but professionally I work with PHP/JS/TS.
Hey @shaybix, None of the roles require professional Go experience. We’ve hired a number of devs who had no professional Go experience before joining InfluxData. That said, any Go development experience or serious interest in learning the language is a big plus since Go is an integral part of all of InfluxData’s products.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
