What are the responsibilities and job description for the Application Engineering, Backend position at Meter?
Meter's mission and long term ambition
The internet runs the world–data centers, offices, manufacturing facilities, schools, etc., spend billions annually on computer networking to stay productive.
However, these networks are messy and brittle. Traditional networking companies only build one piece of the puzzle—either hardware, software, or operations—but never all three, leading to inefficient silos and slow changes. Network engineers—the lifeblood of the industry—are often left scrambling to fix issues, hand editing configs, guess-and-checking solutions, and worrying how the ever-increasing complexity of the system they manage will break.
Meter has spent the last decade vertically integrating the fragmented computer networking industry across hardware (power, routing, switches, security, wireless), firmware, operating systems, and real-world operations. By owning the full stack, we make it exceptionally easy for any business to have great networking, internet, and Wi-Fi. We believe people who build hardware and software should be the ones responsible for it. Our ambition is to evolve internet infrastructure into a utility.
This role is critical to Meter's success
We have ambitious growth goals as we deploy Meter’s infrastructure across thousands of locations and millions of devices. Dashboard is at the core of how our customers observe and manage their networks. The functionality of this software will need to scale with the growing size and complexion of Meter’s customer base.
We are searching for an exceptional backend engineer to join us as we scale Meter’s Dashboard software. This engineer will help build our core networking product with an opportunity to contribute to our observability and alerting pipelines. You are a strong match for this role if you are proficient in Go and experienced in building CRUD-style features using GraphQL APIs and relational databases. Experience with time-series databases and pub/sub infrastructure (such as Kafka) is a plus.
You will have an impact by
- Improving our core product offering
- Improving Dashboard’s observability and alerting capabilities
- Partnering with Sales, Customer Success, Product Operations, and Support Engineering to identify and build networking and Wi-Fi related features that deliver differentiated value for customers
