REQUIREMENTS

Hard Skills:

• Proficiency with and preference for Infrastructure as Code / GitOps tooling.

• Foundation in Observability best practices and implementation.

• Experience in a SaaS or PaaS environment.

• Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), including proficiency with GCP/GKE networking

• Familiarity with our tech stack: Message Queues, Prometheus, ClickHouse, ArgoCD, Github Actions, Golang. (Ruby / Rails is a bonus)

Soft Skills:

• Curiosity-driven with a focus on delivering results.

• A generalist mindset with the ability to dive deep into a wide range of challenges.

• Resilience and an ability to grind through complex problems.

• Openness to disagreement and commitment to decisions once made.

• Strong collaborative skills, with the ability to explain complex insights in an accessible manner.

• Independence in managing one’s workload and priorities.

• The opportunity to shape the dynamic platform of a growing company.

• A role that balances scaling infrastructure, enabling development teams, and internal tooling development

• A chance to work with a dynamic and collaborative team.

• Competitive compensation and benefits.

• A supportive environment that encourages innovation and personal growth.

• Opportunity for impact. We’re established enough to ship instead of fighting fires and early enough that your work will have a real impact.

• Startup experience. You’ll work closely with our CEO, a 2X Founder/CEO with a background in computer science and product design.

• We embrace being fully remote. We schedule meetings sparingly and instead heavily use async comms (Slack, Notion, Loom)

• No live coding. We have no idea who thought writing code on whiteboards was a good idea but we hate it. We’re much more interested in what you’ve done and learned.

• You’ll meet the entire team. We think it’s important that you get to meet everyone you’ll be working with.

• No bullshit. Ask us anything you like. We’ve never understood why companies pretend they’re something that they’re not in the hiring process - you’re going to find out eventually so we’d rather you know who we are up front so we can both make sure this is a good fit for all involved.

• Quick turnaround time. We know you have lots of options so we move fast usually in less than a week from start to finish.
