The opportunity
We’re looking for a curious, rigorous, problem-hungry platform software engineer (who codes! ) to carry the ball as we bring Ashby to the big leagues.
What you'll do
Optimize our homegrown ultra-dynamic recruiting DSL-to-SQL compiler , and: create tools to help developers do so
Create automated guardrails for the security and privacy of our customer data
Help our developers ship features fast through canary deploys, gradual: rollouts and feature flags, while keeping complexity manageable and reducing downtime
Work with the business and the engineering team to define SLOs and implement the corresponding SLIs.
Ensure all communication with external services supports retries and circuit-breakers.
Implement the infrastructure to support an event-driven architecture and data warehouse.
What they're looking for
- You never stop. You get weirdly obsessed about a problem that doesn’t yet: make sense, turn it every which way in your head until the explanation dawns. You’ll search every rock, inventory every clue, hunt every mismatch. We do that, too - together we’ll be armed with state-of-the-art monitoring tools and an impressive amount of data, and join you in the adventure.
- You don’t take shortcuts. You’re speaking up for the future user, the edge: case, the doomsday design. You know product engineers want to build it with you, and see them as allies, where you give them the power and knowledge to access greater things.
- You’re someone who cares about what you do and the team you do it with, and: want to work with others who do as well. You’ll be on interview panels choosing your next colleagues, and you’ll take that seriously. You only want to work with people who make you better, and want to make you better.
- You’ve built infrastructure at a slightly later stage than Ashby is at: you know how to deal with millions of data points, have seen great (or not great) infrastructure make or break customer experience, and have automated everything from provisioning to monitoring and release process.
