Golang Job Details

We believe it takes great people to create a great product. That’s why our team lives our company values, and we hire based on them, too. Since 2010, Pipedrive has been on a mission to support sales and marketing teams with easy-to-use, powerful tools that make everyday work faster and easier. Today, our cloud-based software is trusted by over 100,000 companies and used in 179 countries. We have grown from a five-person team to a truly international company of over 900 people, representing more than 50 nationalities, with ten offices distributed across Europe and the US. In 2020, Pipedrive received a majority investment from Vista Equity Partners, a global investment firm that invests exclusively in enterprise software, data and technology-enabled businesses, making Pipedrive the fifth unicorn from Estonia.

The engineering team is the biggest in the company, but we keep its hierarchy flat and the team scalable using an innovative model called Tribes and Missions. You can learn more about it in this article on our engineering blog or in this short video.

We're looking for a Lead Engineer to join one of our product tribes in our Lisbon office and work on user-facing products, which are at the core of Pipedrive and used by our customers to improve their business results. You'll work on Deals, our best-known product, the LeadBooster lead generation tools and brand new initiatives such as Campaigns, Projects, Account Management, Payments and Support products. Our teams span four of our engineering offices in Europe, and your work will directly impact our more than 100,000 customers.

The lead engineer position is unique in how it combines technical and leadership aspects of the job. Lead engineers contribute to engineering projects (such as missions) both directly and by leading them. They bring the most value by enabling engineers around them to be more effective and actively help them grow. Lead engineers are seasoned developers with technical knowledge on par with senior developers.

Our tech stack:
Frontend: React.js, TypeScript and GraphQL with Relay.
Backend: Node.js, TypeScript and Fastify. Some PHP and Golang.
Storage and messaging: MySQL, Kafka, ElasticSearch, Redis and CouchDB.
Infrastructure: AWS, OpenStack, Docker, Kubernetes and Jenkins.


Your new adventure:

  • Write code and perform other activities related to software engineering
  • Lead tribe-wide projects (such as missions or other non-technical initiatives)
  • Lead significantly important cross-tribe missions
  • Influence everyone in the tribe to achieve broader company goals as well as tribe goals
  • Foster Pipedrive’s values and culture within the tribe
  • Mentor other engineers and provide quality feedback

Does this sound like you?

  • Passion for software development, software architecture and collaborative work
  • Proven record of leading software projects and teams
  • Can write and maintain high-quality and well-tested code
  • Able to conduct technical research and create quick proof of concepts for validation if needed
  • Experience with some of the following technologies: Node.js, TypeScript, Go, any SQL database, Docker, Apache Kafka, ElasticSearch, Redis and PHP
  • Solid understanding of distributed systems, microservices, event-driven architectures and data-heavy applications
  • Can work in a highly collaborative environment with a team distributed across multiple engineering offices
  • Peer-oriented mindset and willingness to share knowledge to inspire team growth and success
  • Excellent spoken and written English skills

Why Pipedrive?

  • A value-driven work environment where people come first
  • A lively bunch of colleagues from over 50 different countries, with offices in Lisbon, Tallinn, Tartu, Prague, London, Dublin, New York, Florida, Riga, and Berlin
  • A team serious about getting things done while not taking ourselves too seriously
  • A world-class working environment full of the usual nice perks and some more
  • Freedom to execute your ideas with a passionate and motivated team supporting you
  • Flexible working hours as long as you’re there for your team members
  • Lots of room for personal and career development, with internal and external training opportunities
  • Competitive salary including all the benefits you’d expect from a great employer (annual bonus system, health insurance, meal allowance, flexible benefits - you can choose whether to use the credit on parking, public transport card, technology, etc)

Pipedrive is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage diversity in the workplace regardless of age, gender, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or veteran status.

We’re on the lookout for a Lead Engineer to help us deliver the next generation of Pipedrive’s customer-facing features in one of our product tribes.
