Role

Who you are

3+ years of professional experience building and debugging distributed systems in production environments
You are a Full Stack Engineer with an emphasis on frontend development while maintaining a robust backend expertise. You bring enthusiasm to all aspects, from enhancing UX to crafting API designs with meticulous attention and respect. We value versatility over specialization, making T-shaped ideal for these roles
You’re interested in learning new languages and technologies. We use JavaScript(TypeScript/React), Go and Clojure, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and RabbitMQ, but it’s okay if you haven’t yet. You can find more details on our tech stack here
You've developed skills in navigating and crafting the dynamics of a rapidly growing company with a remote-first culture: quickly adapting when priorities change and making conscious tradeoffs with incomplete information

What the job involves

As a team member, you’ll own crucial microservices and build features at the heart of our platform
Simplify and optimize existing services and scale our systems as we rapidly grow and evolve
Write sustainable, testable, high-quality, high-performance code
Support, maintain, and debug microservices in a complex distributed system
Work with a team to establish and maintain standards for front-end development, while improving the platform as a whole
Foster a culture of observability and monitoring: use operational data to help your team increase the stability, performance, and usage of our systems
Partner with members of a multi-functional team and other collaborators to set the direction of our product: learn about our business problems, explore solutions, weigh design tradeoffs, write and prioritize effective user stories to deliver maximum value in a balanced, incremental fashion

Our take

Engineering has seen the rise of agile, containerisation and DevOps over the last few years. As a result, the idea of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) has grown to be an important part of the engineering space. CircleCI is one company that taps into this field, offering a lightweight and open service.

There are now a lot more companies that have a culture of continuous delivery. CircleCI specifically helps automate all the steps that occur between the time developers make changes to the code and when the application gets in front of the customer. The company has a strong tailwind from this macro trend and their product is loved by engineers, putting them in a strong place to build a strong business.

Services in the sector have grown constricted and cost-heavy, but in 2022, CircleCI debuted a free tier service for engineering teams in a move away from this. By offering flexibility across an increased number of major platforms, including Docker, Windows, and MacOS, the company works towards its ultimate aim to empower technology-driven organisations.
