Job Description

##### Job Description :

**What will you be doing?**

* Take an active role in influencing our roadmap and your own career objectives
* Work with your team to deliver new features, then use the results to iterate and improve.
* Drive projects from initial ideation all the way to operations once it is in the hands of customers
* Embrace our open-source culture and contribute to other projects that may not directly fall within your team’s scope
* Design, build, operate, and maintain critical systems, owning the reliability, performance, and availability
* Be a part of your team’s on-call rotations and take ownership of the services you’re running
* Mentor and support other team members, participate in design discussions and collaborate with the team
* Learn new skills by gaining a deeper understanding of our cloud product and our customers and getting to know the codebase of a large distributed system

As we are remote-first and our engineering organization is largely remote, we
provide guidance and meet regularly using video calls, so an independent
attitude and good communication skills are a must.

**What are we looking for in you?**

* You are a motivated self starter with a bias towards action

* You are customer focused. We build everything with our users in mind. You have a passion for creating intuitive products that fit customers’ needs
* Pragmatism. You are able to take on complex challenges and break them down to achieve tight learning loops: to analyze, design, and build modular solutions, deliver MVPs, gather data and feedback and then progress iteratively
* Collaboration and communication: The smallest unit we have is a team. You’ll be working with your teammates in a fully remote setup. Good communication skills are a must

**Requirements:**

* Solid experience with at least one programming language. We use Go, but if you have familiarity with Python, C, C++, Rust or similar then that translates well
* Some experience with delivering projects from gathering requirements, brainstorming ideas all the way to shipping a product to the customer’s hands in a self-driven way
* Some experience with developing software that runs in the Cloud _or_ some experience with systems engineering
* Experience writing clean, robust, and performant software that is easily maintained by others

**Nice to haves:**

* Experience working with Kubernetes
* Been a user of Grafana and Prometheus in operational roles (including on-call for your team at a previous employer or just using these tools on hobby/homelab projects)
* Exposure to microservices architecture and distributed systems, or a desire to learn
* Familiarity with being on-call and perfoming operations/SRE tasks or with the concept of infrastructure as code
