At Flowhub, we're on a mission to make legal cannabis accessible to everyone. Founded in 2015, Flowhub pioneered the first Metrc API integration to help dispensaries stay compliant. Today, over 1,000 dispensaries trust Flowhub's point of sale, inventory management, business intelligence, and mobile solutions to process $3B+ cannabis sales annually.

Flowhub creates user-friendly business management and compliance products that increase revenue in the highly regulated cannabis industry.  Our Engineering department is highly creative, incredibly resourceful, and obsesses over the user experience.  We’re currently looking to grow our engineering team by adding a Senior Backend Engineer to our team.  

Senior engineers at Flowhub use their understanding of the product, our customers, and Flowhub’s overall business needs to design, build, and deliver high-quality solutions that help our customers run their businesses.  They balance technical debt, speed of delivery, security, and scalability to ensure we’re never over or under-engineering our solutions, and they ensure that the software we deliver actually solves our customers’ problems.  They also act as a resource to the rest of the technical team through mentorship, design and code review, and product knowledge.

• Comfortable working in or learning React.js, Golang, GraphQL, PostgreSQL

• Deeply experienced with PostgreSQL or a similar relational database technology and how it’s setup and schema impacts overall performance

• Passionate about your customers and coworkers and excited to make an impact on the Cannabis industry

What you’ll do:

• Work with product management, stakeholders, and customers to design and build the easiest-to-use, most performant point-of-sale platform in the industry

• Make pragmatic architectural decisions to ensure our system is stable, scalable, and easy to change

• Work with our Postgres and Clickhouse databases in GCP to find optimization opportunities. Find opportunities to teach performance improvement techniques to the other engineers around you.

• Leverage and enhance our existing observability tools to ensure Flowhub’s systems are a pleasure for our customers to use and performing up to our internal standards
