  • An expert in NodeJS, Express, Postgres
  • A self-starter driven by customer empathy

What the job involves

  • Users can write arbitrary Javascript and Python in our app – You’ll scale and secure our distributed code execution engine from the ground up
  • Architect and scale our scheduled jobs and workflows infrastructure
  • Optimize the performance of our open-source core integration execution engine
  • Build a reliable and fault tolerant infrastructure to help scale with our ever increasing customer demands
  • Architect new services and APIs that power our app and are used by all of our customers
  • Enable a plug and play model with new integrations without the need to restart service or manual upgrades
  • Build an integrations framework that supports running declaratively defined integrations without writing code
  • Ensure there is zero downtime for upgrades of integrations
  • Partner closely with our customers to ensure ease of deployment and operation of the OPA

Our take

Founders Brad Menezes and Ran Ma went through the same process again and again of building new custom tools at every company they worked for, so they decided to do something about it. Realising that building blocks were usually very similar, they’ve created a a universal building platform that allows companies to build custom tools more quickly and easily than before.

Superblocks' selling point is customization - it has a wide range of app, SSO and monitoring integrations, including Slack, Google, and Datadog. It also offers both a managed service and a hybrid model with open source packages.

But the market for customer tools and workflow automation is a competitive one, with plenty of rivals like Retool and Airplane with good reputations and large customer bases. Superblocks stands in good stead though, with the impressive level of funding it has raised focussed on improving and expanding the range of tools it offers.
