Load Impact | Go Engineer / k6 OSS maintainer | REMOTE in Europe +/- 3h from Sweden
You will be one of three lead developers and maintainers of k6, a modern open source tool for performance testing, written in Go (golang). k6 was released publicly in early 2017 and has already received over 5,000 stars on Github and has an active community of users and contributors.
You will have a lot of influence on the project road map and will work with a high degree of autonomy, building and maintaining the tool.
Your responsibilities will be to both write code, extending the functionality of k6, and to maintain the code base, interface with the user community (i.e. review patches :) and potentially evangelize the tool. Your main, long-term goal will be to create the best possible tool and to get as many people as possible to use it.
Due to our small teams and fast development pace, you will have a substantial and immediate impact on how the end product is architected, developed, and how the engineering team operates. Most importantly, you will work with competent colleagues and will be able to expand your knowledge and skills in different directions.
