You love large complex systems. Experience in working on distributed systems or a passion for finding edge cases that appear at scale. You're interested in how to bring something from a small one off task to how to implement it across several thousand machines at once
Data drives your decisions and excites you - you make decisions based on numbers rather than assumptions. If an issue arises, you strive to be alerted before our customers notice.
What We Provide:
Opportunities to develop and grow as an engineer. We are always expanding into new areas, working with cross-collaborative teams, and exploring new technologies.
A team of awesome, capable and dedicated peers, all the way from engineering to product management and customer support.
Breadth and depth. You are interested in working in an area that dynamically scales to meet the needs. You want to go deep into optimizing how we automate every manual process and tedious task we encounter.
Growth and mentorship. We believe in growing engineers through ownership and leadership opportunities. We also believe that mentors help both sides of the equation.
A stable, collaborative, and supportive work environment. Honesty and collaboration are values we see as a core of our team identity. We understand the value in open communication—working together to get things done, and to adapt to the changing needs of the team and individuals. This is reflected in both our internal communications and also in how we interact with our customers.
Balance. We're not expecting people to work 12-hour days. We want you to be successful outside of work too and welcome work-from-home days. We trust our colleagues to be responsible with their time and commitment, and believe that balance helps cultivate a positive environment.
Requirements:
- Requires a minimum of 2 years of related experience with a technical Bachelor’s degree; or equivalent practical experience.
