Transportant | Senior Backend Software Engineer | USA | Full-Time | Remote | $120-$150k | https://transportant.com/jobs.html#backend-engineer Transportant is a new technology company building modern hardware and software to help school districts, bus drivers, students, parents, and teachers optimize the school transportation experience. This includes providing high speed on bus wifi for students, bus status notifications to parents and students via mobile apps, cameras with live streaming audio and video, ridership tracking and management, and added safety sensors. Founded by 20 year veterans of the software security and mobile industry, Transportant is a small but very senior technical team of Linux hackers, security engineers, database and systems builders, great UX and industrial design. Our customers are school systems across the USA and Canada who are overjoyed with modern UX for transportation. We are seeking two backend software developers to join our team. Our backend tech stack is Linux, PostgreSQL, Go, and Python. A non-trivial portion of functionality is implemented directly in the database as SQL data structures, queries, and stored procedures. Frontend is supported through REST and GraphQL APIs. Other examples of additional technology we love: Wireguard, Single board computers, Linux, Ansible, Prometheus, Typescript, Javascript, React, and Open Street Maps. Not so much: XML, Java, ASN.1, Dual EC DRBG, Printers. More details here: https://transportant.com/jobs.html#backend-engineer
