We’ve found that low ego, a growth mindset, and leaning into action and high impact goes a long way here. 📍As our next Infrastructure Software Engineer, you should have 5+ years of infrastructure engineering experience, building scalable systems that can handle millions of users, plus: 📍Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent work experience. 📍Previous experience at a hyper-growth startup. You’re a self-starter who can hit the ground running with little direction. 📍Prior experience in a public cloud environment (AWS, GCP) using Kubernetes, Docker, and/or Terraform. 📍Expert knowledge of various CI/CD workflows. 📍Exceptional coding skills and the ability to ship new products lightning fast. We primarily use Python, Elixir, JavaScript, but previous knowledge of each is not required. 📍Excellent communication and writing skills.
