Golang Job: SENIOR GOLANG DEVELOPER

Job description:

PKT Pal (www.pktpal.com) is hiring a Senior Golang Developer. PKT Pal is building a product to allow everyday people to own and operate their own pieces of internet infrastructure. Similar to how Airbnb lets you earn money from your unused room in your house and Uber allows you to make money from your under-used car in your driveway, PKT Pal has a suite of plug and play devices that lets normal people like you and me make money from the internet that we are paying for, and are only using a fraction of.

The Pkteers behind PKT Pal are all people who believe that the internet is a human right and want to get the next billion people online. We work together to fulfill this mission and we push each other to be the best versions of ourselves. We are not limited by our job titles or our status in the company, but rather are driven by the mission to change the world.
