San Francisco, United States Linux Foundation Full time
Company Description

The Linux Foundation is the organization of choice for the world's top developers and companies to build ecosystems that accelerate open technology development and commercial adoption. Together with the worldwide open source community, it is solving the hardest technology problems by creating the largest shared technology investment in history. Today, the Linux Foundation has over 2,000 corporate members from over 41 countries, including every single one of the Fortune 100. The Linux Foundation has proudly created over $54B in shared technology value since inception. We're growing at a phenomenal rate and we're looking for top engineers to join our growing team.

Job Description

You will join the LFX platform team for a high-impact role in building a mission-critical application for the entire open source ecosystem. You will be part of an open-source-obsessed team where you do more than writing code: you will lead your own projects, be in contact with users, make architectural decisions, manage infrastructure, and you will always be encouraged to take the initiative. Furthermore, at the Linux Foundation, you will be contributing to a fully open-sourced codebase. Your contributions will be public, and you will join us in building toward an open future.

The expected salary range is $90k-$120k based on your experience level. The position is fully remote within European time zones (CET +/- 2 hours).

Our tech stack

We use a modern, lightweight tech stack to provide an enjoyable and productive development experience.
  • The backend is built with Node.js, backed by a PostgresSQL and a QuestDB database.
  • We use Kubernetes for orchestration hosted on Oracle Cloud.
  • We use Temporal for orchestrating long-running and distributed workflows.
  • We use Vue.js for frontend development, with Tailwind CSS for styling.
We have a philosophy of buying-over-building. We try never to reinvent the wheel and use the best open-source solution for problems that are not our core. We work with exciting, cutting-edge technologies such as LLMs, text and vector search engines, and semantic database layers. You will find the team is always excited to try new technologies.

Your tasks
  • Build the backend of an application that will potentially help millions of developers and companies in the open source ecosystem
  • Develop a lean and scalable architecture capable of handling billions of data points.
  • Lead your own projects
  • Support in managing our infrastructure
  • Work closely with the whole development team on the technical big picture, and contribute to strategic and company-wide decisions with the entire team.
Qualifications
  • 5+ years of professional experience working with backend technologies.
  • Proficiency in Node.js, SQL, and Kubernetes. Experience with time series databases is an advantage.
  • Knowledge of scaling applications for big data
  • Professional experience with Snowflake or other data warehouses. Knowledge of DBT is an advantage.
  • A strong team player, willing to put on many hats and contribute towards the team's goals.
  • Professional proficiency in written and spoken English.
  • Able to working during the European time zone (CET +/- two hours)
  • Having previously built or maintained an open-source project is a plus.


Additional Information

The Linux Foundation is an all-remote workforce that hires world-class talent. We are as passionate about providing a flexible and supportive work culture as we are about open-source software. Collaboration is in our DNA, and we pride ourselves on being able to work closely together while not being tied to an office.

Salary Range - $90k-$120k USD

The Linux Foundation is an Equal Opportunity Employer. The Linux Foundation is a 100% remote organization. The position can be based anywhere in Europe.

All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
