What the job involves

As a Software Engineer at Gremlin, you will have the opportunity to improve the reliability of the internet at large by developing Chaos Engineering tooling
You will be able to leverage your engineering experience to inform product design as well as solve complex technical problems that directly impact our customers (which range from the Fortune 500 to smaller organizations)
You will work closely with a small, talented team focused on quality, delivery, and predictability

Our take

Web application development requires databases, storage services and other components to work together consistently for the user experience to be smooth. If a single element in this ecosystem experiences downtime, the whole system will suffer, presenting chaotic troubleshooting challenges.

Gremlin designs services that intentionally cause outages and faults within an application system to allow developers to identify weaknesses within the system. The startup's ‘chaos engineering’ services provide a unique perspective over existing troubleshooting startups that focus on analyzing outages as and when they happen.

As opposed to generally 'breaking' systems, Gremlin has developed its 'ALFI' feature to provide personalized attacks. This allows users to locate vulnerabilities in their unique application systems as opposed to general server setups.
