Video: A Go Programmer's Guide to Secure Connections by Liz Rice #londongophers

Mon, 24 Sep 2018 12:36:00 +0000

All too often we read stories about systems being compromised because an administrative interface was left open and unsecured, or because access keys were inadvertently made public. You probably know that HTTPS is "secure"; you may well have experience of creating certificate signing requests or using public/private key pairs. But many of us follow the instructions without worrying too much about what's going on. In this tutorial session, Liz explores what's going on, illustrating everything as she goes with demos and Go code. Afterwards, you should be much more confident about using secure connections within your own code, and when configuring security settings on the tools you use day-to-day. 7 points posted by kenny

Video: Absolute Unit (Test) #londongophers

Fri, 22 Mar 2019 08:59:00 +0000

Talk by Dave Cheney at London Gophers 2019

I’m a fan of developing tests while you write your code. It felt right that I should make my tests the first consumer of my code (and I’ve found supporting evidence that this idea goes back to the early 60’s), but in practice, that is to say, the practice of TDD, this always seemed to slow me down and create brittle test suites. This is a talk about how relearning my approach to unit testing helped me understand how to practice TDD more effectively in my development workflow, but more importantly, how to design my packages as a unit, focused on their behaviour, not their implementation. 5 points posted by kenny

We’re building the best current account in the world, which means building the best banking app in the world. If you're here, you probably already knew that. If not, here are some things people wrote about us. We're looking for somebody to join our backend engineering team in London. The backend team is responsible for building our core banking system and the microservices platform it runs on. As a bank, we're responsible for people's money, so we're investing a lot of up-front effort in building a scalable, secure and extensible architecture. One of our engineers, Matt Heath, has given an excellent talk about this architecture that you can watch on youtube. 5 points posted by kenny

Hiring: Senior API developer at verisart #london #contract

Mon, 10 Sep 2018 07:48:00 +0000

We’re looking for a Senior Golang and RESTful API developer to support our in-house development team and who could start immediately. Knowledge of micro services also helpful. The main issue we’re facing is that we’re currently upgrading our technical stack and moving from a tightly coupled backend and front end to using react/redux and we have brought on a new front end dev but need someone with strong web app and restful API experience.

The role would involve setting up the API framework as well as any authentication (OAuth2.0) and validation middleware. Routes would then need to be implemented and integrated. Role would also involve supporting any extra code requirements of the development team inside the scope of the API project. The work would be done as part of a small team, based in London (Mayfair). Competitive rates offered, as well as flexible working hours although the position is full time and on site and the candidate must be available at least 4 days per week at our office in London.

Background

Verisart is looking for engineers interested in applying cryptography at real world problems. Our problem lies within the art market as we address the problem of proving provenance for artworks and building evidence based certificates of authenticity. We recognize that cryptography is not a magic bullet. We want to use it intelligently to provide evidence where possible for people to interpret, like the web of trust.

What we look for?
We’re looking for people who understand how to apply cryptography to problems. While understanding the mathematical backgrounds to cryptography is great, it’s not essential if you understand how the cryptographic primitives like hashing and message signing work together to solve real problems.

We look for passion above all else although an interest in arts and collectibles is helpful. We are a small team based in London although the company began in California.

Requirements
Computer science degree or similar (preferred but not necessary). Git. High level experience such as C++, Golang, Rust, Java, Python. Bitcoin experience is an asset.

Our stack
Golang, Postgres, Javascript, Heroku, Python,

Who we are
Verisart is building the most trusted way to certify and verify artworks and collectibles using distributed ledger technology. We are a rapidly growing team of applied cryptographers, software engineers and designers with offices in Los Angeles and London. Robert Norton, former CEO of Sedition Art and Saatchi Art, leads the company. Peter Todd, core developer for the Bitcoin blockchain protocol and Dr. Ahmed Elgammal, Professor in Computer Science at The Art & AI Lab at Rutgers University are Board Advisors.

We are looking for talented backend software engineers with the right to work in the UK to join our Western hemisphere technical team based in central London. The role allows for occasional working from home but we are principally looking for somebody willing to live and work in London.

Our goal is creating new platforms exposing RESTful services to the IoE/M2M industry, capitalizing on our experience and digital real estate from the SSL and PKI spaces. We have already built a game changing system and are now looking at augmenting it both performance and feature-wise.

On a day to day basis you will be creating new high performance platforms for both internal and external use exposed in a RESTful fashion and backed by large SQL and NoSQL data stores. Part of this will include prototyping new technologies, interacting with PKI/crypto hardware, and shaving off microseconds wherever possible.

We would love to have a chat if any of the following apply:

You write clean, concise, self-documenting code that both you and your team can still understand a year after. You care about naming. You do not repeat yourself. You do not believe that more code represents the solution to a problem. You test everything.
You already master a few programming languages, or easily find your way around a new one. Our stack is mostly Go, but when there are better tools implemented in different languages, we do not hesitate to use and improve them.
You have a high performance systems background - content delivery, trading, networking, e-commerce, ticketing, etc. Everything we build has hard performance requirements. Relying entirely on the language/framework for optimisation is a luxury we do not have.
You have a good grasp of operating systems, knowing how to directly use (or misuse) the scheduling, network and storage facilities.
You think in patterns. Synchronous/asynchronous. Multithreaded/event driven. Latency/bandwidth. You take these into consideration before laying down any code.
You are familiar with the latest technologies and use them judiciously. Software advancements have made things that were impossible ten years ago possible, but no single piece of technology has been a silver bullet. You can tell which of the modern tools in your belt work for the task at hand and which do not.
You know what you do not know and you are as comfortable asking for help as you are offering it. We advocate mutual knowledge sharing. Nobody knows everything.
You know when to work hard and when to kick back. Development effort is not evenly distributed. Sometimes you might have to put in some unplanned extra hours, sometimes you go on a team night out before the clock hits six.
You are an inquisitive perfectionist. You like to know how things work and constantly try to improve them.

What we offer:

The opportunity to work for a leading multinational PKI provider, alongside seasoned technologists with quite a few successful products and services under their belts.
A clean slate. No legacy or poorly documented code to maintain. It all happens here and now with you as an instrumental part of it.
A friendly working environment where we appreciate witty banter without falling into the “brogrammer” stereotype. We are a large and well established multinational company, but this team operates like a start-up where everyone carries their own weight and manages their own time.
Competitive Salary
Employer matched pension contributions to 5% of salary
4 x Salary Life cover
Long-term illness insurance
Cycle to Work Scheme
Employee funded via salary sacrifice Benenden Healthcare cover
Childcare Voucher Scheme
Payroll Giving
Employee Assistance Package
