To enable better decision-making across AI use adoption, planning, developer experience and delivery so R&D teams can deliver stronger business outcomes.
Role
Who you are
- Strong programming skills with extensive Python, Linux, and Terraform experience
- Familiarity with a variety of infrastructure and observability tooling, such as Terraform, AWS services, Honeycomb, Grafana, or comparable tools
- Comfortable blazing new trails and being the first to explore new technical waters
- Enjoy helping others, and helping them learn to help themselves
- Effectively lead through action, influence, and guidance, rather than overly gated process controls
- Are great at asking questions, figuring out what needs to be done, building consensus, and executing
- Ability to consider the needs of the user and the needs of the business when designing a solution
- Love learning new things and sharing knowledge with others
- Strong communication skills, and enjoy working as part of a team
- A list of job experiences and qualification requirements is great, but humility, a performance-driven attitude, and a team-player approach are most important to us
- We only hire people who have a passion for building great companies in an environment where a sense of humor is a must
Desirable
- Have previous experience at a rapidly scaling startup and loved it
- Bring experience and opinions about the different ways engineering teams can work and the tools they use
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Site Reliability Engineer (or operations-minded Infrastructure engineer!) who’s passionate about performance, scaling, and working with a lot of data
- You’ll be supporting product engineering teams with technical help, improving the resilience of our systems and our processes, and driving scalable infrastructure practices and patterns
- This is a great opportunity to be a member of an exceptional engineering organization with high agency: where you can help shape the features your team builds and how your team builds them
- Work hand-in-hand with and support many teams across the entire Jellyfish organization
- Lay groundwork for new applications and infrastructural needs as Jellyfish grows and evolves
- Champion technical expertise and advocate for sound software design principles
- Help your team grow and improve by participating in processes, planning, and strategy
- Provide support for production operations of the Jellyfish product
- Actively participate in a culture supportive of growth and inclusion on your team
- Support incident remediation and critical systems support, and help us improve the way we do it
Our take
Engineering leaders are often left in the dark when it comes to exactly what their teams are doing when developing new products. This was a source of frustration shared by the founders of Jellyfish, who had similar visibility issues when running their own engineering and product teams.
Its platform attempts to do for engineering team leaders what CRM systems have done for sales teams. It aims to keep managers in the loop around projects, including the productivity of individual engineers, where time and resources are spent, and whether products are on schedule.
The company has a long list of customers including Toast, Medium, DataRobot, Digital Guardian, New Relic, and Mastercard subsidiary SessionM. The global transition to remote work saw a surge in business for Jellyfish, which has led to an increase in its headcount and further revenue growth.
