Senior Go Backend Engineer - India (Remote)The Company

Akuity is a Sunnyvale, CA-based business founded by Argo co-creators Hong Wang, Jesse Suen, and Alexander Matyushentsev. The three of them were founding engineers at Applatix, which open-sourced the Argo project in 2017. After Applatix's acquisition by Intuit in 2018, Argo exploded in growth with the additions of Argo CD, Argo Rollouts, & Argo Events and was subsequently accepted as a CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) incubating project. Today, Argo has 30K+ GitHub stars, is one of the fastest-growing CNCF projects with over 6,000 contributors, and is trusted by hundreds of enterprises, including Adobe, Tesla, PayPal, Capital One, and Peloton to automate their application delivery on Kubernetes.

Following Argo’s strong adoption, Akuity was formed to help companies reliably deploy Argo at scale by offering enterprise support and functionality. As of November 2024, Akuity has raised $25 million from leading technology investors, Lead Edge Capital & Decibel Partners. The business is experiencing tremendous growth and remains committed to Open Source; they will invest in what’s needed to foster the project’s growth. This includes continuing their contributions to the project, supporting users with their issues, facilitating discussions and meetings, and promoting Argo every chance they get.

Why Akuity?

Akuity is a staunch proponent of open-source software (OSS). We believe it is the best method of impactful and lasting software development. We also recognize that at a certain stage in a project’s maturity, OSS benefits from commercial backing to help take it to the next level. We started Akuity to advocate for the Argo project, share our knowledge and deep expertise of its capabilities, and become a trusted voice for its users.

Akuity’s culture is still developing, but we already strongly value humility, authenticity, and diversity. We want to work with people of different backgrounds and paths in life, and we trust our team members to take responsibility, share ownership, and work for one another. We seek collaborative, inquisitive, and dedicated individuals to join our team.

Akuity is proud to be an equal-opportunity employer.
