Role
Who you are
- At least 1 year of experience as an engineer or individual contributor with some experience on a platform team (or related responsibilities)
- Fluency in Golang (we're a Golang-heavy shop). Alternatively, experience in Python with willingness to focus in Go
- Exposure to Kubernetes (GKE, ECS, native Kube, etc.) in a production environment
- Understanding of Linux and TCP/IP network fundamentals
- Exposure to running services such as load balancers, relational databases, messaging systems and container-orchestration systems
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc) a plus
What the job involves
- Bitly is looking for a Platform Engineer I to contribute to building and evolving our infrastructure to become more cloud-native and globally distributed
- You will have a profound impact on the engineering org’s strategy and culture, ensuring that people are able to move faster through technology
- You’ll leverage existing technologies and bring some opinions of your own to the discussion to improve the engineering ecosystem
- Assist in designing, building and maintaining the infrastructure and platform services we run, under the guidance of senior engineers, in order to continue evolve our systems
- Leverage Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles to modernize and scale Bitly’s platform and infrastructure and support our 24x7 reliability and availability guarantees
- Continuously improve the way containerized workloads are deployed and managed
- Design, build and maintain internal tools and processes that facilitate developer workflows (deployment, CI/CD)
- Design, build and maintain internal tools and libraries that will improve observability (i.e logging, monitoring, and tracing)
- Work with members across the engineering team to improve and evolve the way services are designed and operated across our engineering team
Our take
Bitly offers URL-shortening services along with comprehensive link management solutions for businesses. Many major companies use shortened URLs to enhance their branding, such as Pepsi with its custom link, pep.si.
Shortened URLs have become a booming industry, with competition from payers like TinyURL, Rebrandly, and BL.INK. Bitly, which was majority-acquired by DSSpectrum Equity for $63M in 2017, has raised significant funding, achieved impressive annual revenues, and solidified its position as a credible leader in the market.
After acquiring leading QR code platform Egoditor and its flagship site QR Code Generator in 2021, Bitly has embarked upon rapid expansion and added to the pool of talent across the business. For now, the company's focus seems to be on growing its global SaaS footprint; targeting QR Codes, link-in-bio, and link management.
