Junior Full Stack Developer

— Internal Tools & Network Platforms

*GLS | Engineering / Operations | Remote (US) | High-ownership role*

Role Overview

GLS is hiring a Full Stack Developer to build and maintain the internal tools and operational platforms that run our network business: monitoring dashboards, automation utilities, workflow tooling, and systems that integrate with live infrastructure across a multi-datacenter environment. We do not want vibe coding (blindly accepting AI-generated diffs). We expect engineers to own outcomes through design, review, testing, security hygiene, and maintainability.

What You'll Build

Internal operational tooling that engineers and NOC/SOC teams rely on daily. A custom monitoring/metrics platform spanning time-series data, dashboards, and alerting workflows. Integrations with live network/infrastructure APIs (devices, services, systems). Automation that reduces toil and speeds execution with auditability and guardrails.

Key Responsibilities

Backend Engineering (Go + Python)

• Design and implement backend services and REST APIs in Go and Python.
• Build durable internal services used for operational workflows and monitoring workloads.
• Create clean abstractions around infrastructure and device APIs.

Frontend Engineering (Angular)

• Build modern internal UIs in Angular for dashboards, tooling, and operational visibility.
• Deliver practical UX: fast, readable, and optimized for operators under pressure.

Data & Database Engineering (PostgreSQL + ClickHouse)

• Design schemas and write performant queries for PostgreSQL.
• Work with ClickHouse (or similar columnar/time-series systems) for large-scale metrics.
• Optimize query patterns and data lifecycle for operational analytics and dashboards.

Infrastructure Integration

• Build software that interfaces with network/infrastructure APIs and operational platforms.
• Work closely with systems/network engineers to translate real-world requirements into reliable software.

Automation & GitOps Workflows

• Build automation utilities using Python and Bash.
• Support Git-based workflows, CI/CD, and GitOps conventions where appropriate.

Required Skills & Qualifications

Languages

Strong proficiency in Go, Python, and JavaScript/TypeScript.

Frontend

Hands-on Angular experience building internal dashboards/tools.

Databases

Strong PostgreSQL experience; exposure to ClickHouse (or similar) preferred; familiarity with caching (e.g., Redis).

Linux & Delivery

Comfortable in Linux environments; experience with Docker; basic Kubernetes/container familiarity; Git-based workflows.

API Engineering

Proven experience building/consuming REST APIs and integrating with external/internal systems.

Tooling

Git, Docker, Ansible (or similar configuration management).

Communication

Can work independently on loosely-defined problems and communicate clearly with infrastructure-focused teams.

Nice to Have (Strong Signals)

The following skills and experience are not required but demonstrate valuable depth and would accelerate your impact in this role:

• Candidates that can use AI in their day-to-day life.
• GitOps tooling: ArgoCD, Fleet, Helm, operators
• Networking fundamentals: IP, VLANs, routing, firewall concepts
• Observability experience: metrics pipelines, time-series systems, log pipelines (e.g., Elasticsearch)

What Success Looks Like (First 60–90 Days)

• Ship meaningful improvements to internal tooling and/or monitoring workflows.
• Deliver at least one end-to-end feature: UI + API + database + operational integration.
• Contribute reusable automation patterns that reduce toil for the team (agent or script-based).

Why GLS

You'll build software that directly supports real operational outcomes. Real users, real systems, real impact. High ownership, low bureaucracy, strong technical collaboration with infrastructure experts.
