About the role

This role is a Staff Software Devops Engineer who will report to the VP of Engineering and will be responsible primarily for our system topology, scaling our datastores, and basically assisting all teams hosting environments.

From Carlos Whitt | LinkedIn our VP of Engineering: "We are growing like crazy and want engineers that are excited about an early stage company, hyper focused team, scaling challenges, proven growth, incredible culture, and being part of something special."
What does the role look like?

As a Staff Software Devops Engineer, you will have significant responsibility over the overall stability and explosive growth our systems will have to support.

  • Building a reliable CI pipeline for testing and deployments
  • Deploying multi region backends to allow for international expansion
  • Building auto scale systems to support high load
  • Setting up rigorous monitoring and alerting for all of our systems
  • Maintaining optimal database performance by fine tuning it and upgrading it if need be
  • Support zero-downtime infrastructure migrations
  • Improving local development environment for our engineers
  • Auto scaling our Ruby on Rails Sidekiq background queues (nice to have)
  • Improving our data pipeline to ensure fast and reliable data movement between database services (nice to have)
  • Moving our Vercel Next.js pipeline to being self-hosted (nice to have)
  • Maintaining our file uploading service called Imgproxy (nice to have)
Qualifications
  • Linux operating systems, e.g. Debian, Ubuntu
  • Very experienced in relational databases e.g. Postgres
  • Very experienced in AWS
  • Experienced in networking - security, VPC, firewalls, etc
  • Experienced setting up monitoring and alerting

  • Experience with Postgres DBA
  • Experience with NextJS, Vercel, and Cloudflare Workers
  • Experience with load testing
Who you are

The company is growing 5x+ YoY and you're someone who can move with urgency, take initiative, and do whatever it takes to win.
  • You understand the difference between an excellent product and a mediocre product.
  • You are ruthless, don't let anyone stand in your way, and are highly opinionated.
  • You can admit when you are wrong and will throw your full support behind more sound logic.
  • You are someone who loves programming.
  • You see elegant solutions to everyday problems in the lines of code you write and love to build things from 0-1.
